    Seeing this from Laurie I have defiantly no hope of ever gaining membership to the Tidy Bench Club. Having applied countless times and been refused I feel the time has come to abandon all hope.:cold-sweat:
    Of course you have John. Winston Chruchill quoted that courage is the first of all human qualities & determined & guranteed all the others..

    I disagree (but Churchill is stiil my hero). Determination is is the first as with out it you I & all others will never get any where with out it. It gurantees all the other human virtues.

    So tidy bench. Each morning I use a squirt of glass cleaner & duster on each surface. Now ready. Just to say that I will not go to bed unless my work place is tidy all tools put away for the next day.

    Now. If you do not keep your bench tidy & replace tools after "each" session you are losing model making time. Why ? You will be searching for tools etc. Just takes that determination.

    So there John that has sorted you out. I will be enquiring in future to ensure you are using determination & keeping that bench clean

    Laurie

    PS it has only taken me 82 years & 60 years of marriage to a wife moaning if I do not put things away, load the dishwasher correctly, leave half eaten sandwiches lying around & then there is just general grumbling.:tongue-out3::rolling:

        Wot wot no no.

        This is the Laurie regime.

        It takes my wife at least 2 minutes to find her mobile when it rings. I have even put it on a chain for a 5 sec grab the monster. But no.

        Her drawers, the one you keep clothes in ha ha, are in a mess. Even the fish in the fish tank are confused. Come now Rick let us have reality :tongue-out3:

        Any way who is this Swmbo person !!!

          She Who Must Be Obeyed..........You know, The one who goes about the house finding fault with all you do or admonishing you when things are not done immediately, if not sooner......that person.....They turn up shortly after one gets Married and they get you to wondering how you ever survived before they entered your life and so you ask them and they intuitively know the answer to your inquiry and soooooo much more. :tongue-out3: :tongue-out2::tongue-out: Rick H.
