What do you do beyond the call of duty?

For example... sorting out the plumbing (be it plumbing in a washing machine, fixing a leak, to unblocking the drains).

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I used to do all sorts (15 years ago) and not because i was asked, it was because the baby slept all day and night and i was slightly bored
I washed cars, skimmed the pool, walked the dogs, payed bills.
It was more for my sanity than theres though
