When I got ill I lost alot of my energy levels and they have never returned to where they were. I still do alot of jobs around the house but have to write days off afterwards. Before I got ill I would lay flooring, paint, lay patios I would try anything and learnt most things off of YouTube. I laid a shed base last week and then was totally wiped out of energy for 3 days (I will never learn)
Anyway I digress, my brother goes mad at me now and offers to do things for me but he has a young family and if my illness taught me one thing it is that time is precious. He should not be spending it doing my home improvements.
I had a new banister to fit in the garage and when we went on holiday in the summer when we came home he had been and done it all for me. I love my hubbie greatly but DIY brings him out in a cold sweat!
So this is the image the kids picked for Uncle Mart's birthday card
