Mr Jingles the 16 year old house cat!
Can't leave any windows or doors open - drives me mad! I love cats, and have two of my own but why do customers put tradesmen through it???

Sockets.....and especially those stupid bloody white caps over the screws that ping out and end up god knows where when you try and remove them..

Not the first time I’ve tidied a kitchen like that and wash/dried all the dishes before I started the tiling, think I’ve got a touch of ocd

Lol. 2 flights of stairs where I’m working and a cat that looks like the 1 in the photo. House cat of course, some inbred pedigree with no immune system that will just die or rack up £1000s in vets bills if I let it out apparently.

I never look for them Andy cos I don’t think I’ve managed to remove one yet without destroying one side of it. My Sparky mate did give me a bag of them though so I don’t mind them now. Sometimes I’ll pop em in even if they didn’t have them before (only the really nice customers though!)

I lost one once......had to rob another one from the socket behind the sofa before they got home...🙄

I’ve lost the customers cat before, left the door open and there wasn’t a replacement behind sofa I looked,
