Need to stop "work" work to do "play" work

I'm up to my ears 6 days a week with my sons house conversion and extension and have sold 3 bullet, 1 bolt action and 2 acrylics this week to the other tradesmen, (that's their profits gone), but my wife took my pens into work today and came back with orders for 7 plus another 2 specials. She wants to take them back in tomorrow but no way will I let her!

Short of time, short of kits and acrylic blanks and I can't get hold of Vince at turners workshop - ARGH - I thought this pen turning lark was a restful hobby - I need to retire!!!!

I know I shouldn't moan,and as woody says, I'm a whinging builder!:whistling: However..... wifie sneaked pens away again this morning and came back with another 6 definates and 3 possibles - most for next week - bloody hell fire!!!
Apparently only a few people at work have seen the pens so loads more to go at

Had to order some fishing clips and kits off the internet last night. Wish my outstanding orders from Tb were here.
