My job gives me an enormous sense of satisfaction from planning a new electricity network based on the client's needs/wants and then seeing it through to handing over a completed network of electrics, internet, telephony and television. I take a lot of pride in that. |

I am quite in awe of electricians tbh I think it requires a specially "wired" brain to do that job.  |

I enjoy DIY and get great satisfaction from knowing that's just what I did (do wish I could plumb & plaster properly though). Used to create gardens from scratch and loved knitting baby layettes. Have very little time nowadays for those pursuits sadly. |

It is such a shame, we have all these good ideas.. and then precious little time to do them! |

"Love growing veg at least I know there's no chemicals on them and there right there to be picked! And it doesn't cost the earth.  "
I was actually wondering whether I should this year. Not necessarily for the price but definitely for flavour and ensuring that I know what if any chemicals need to be used. |

I have done things like herbs, basil, thyme, chives, coriander etc and tomatoes and that worked out well. Not tried anything else yet but might really try this spring. |
