    I was a very lucky child. My mum was world champeen baker and domestic goddess and my dad was a mechanic who worked on racing bikes. I could rebore a block, fit new rings and pistons and whip up a perfect egg sponge by the time I was 7! Ting

    I'm not particularly tidy because I like everything to be "handy" but it's an orgnised chaos. I can find things.

    Well they can put a sensor on the bobbin winder to tell you it's full so why not just put it on upside down or outside in to tell you when it's empty? Lemon squeezy.
