Background: DH has lots of tools in his man cave in the garage, including numerous screwdrivers. I own 2 screwdrivers, one flathead, one crosshead. I keep my screwdrivers in a kitchen drawer so that they are handy if there is a small job to be done, e.g. tightening a handle, unscrewing a battery compartment, changing a plug, etc. If it's cold or wet I don't want to have to go out to the garage to find a screwdriver. So far, so reasonable, right?
DH (although a lovely person) has a bad habit of nicking my screwdrivers when he also can't be bothered to go out to the garage. This would be fine but often they t hen seem to end up in the garage mixed up with his tools instead of back in the kit chen drawer. His excuse is that they're the same make as some of his tools so he just gets confused.
DD1 (13) has heard me grumbling about screwdriver theft several times. She has now "customised" them in such a way that she says DH will never again be able to confuse them with his tools. (See picture). In return I am giving both DDs full use of all my tools for any DIY jobs they have in mind... What do you think of her handiwork?
