What are you doing/done today

[Toneyz]

What are you doing/done today ? not a direct poll but I thought that it would be interesting to see a snapshot of a day in the life of a E.F. member did it go to plan what problems did you overcome.

Have you quoted the wrong post Westy? or is that the answer?

Typing up the EICR I did yesterday and the accompanying invoice and quote for remedials. Off to see a potential customer at 11am and then producing the quote for that. Pop to Asda to pick up some batteries so I can try out my latest purchases from the toolbox of @Pete999

Oooh and unboxing my CK Dextro VDE Slim screwdrivers which arrived yesterday. Thank you very much @CK Tools . They look lurvely

not impressed with the slim screwdrivers from c.k.
Because there are so slim there only any good for light works I feel.
Feels like the ends will snap when tightening terminals and you can't get the grip/ torque.
I got them just to use for testing so there stored in my test bag.
