Yes buddy, PM inbound...

Sean

My money would be on a failed relay somewhere in the system... probably at the lock itself although it could be fitted anywhere.

Sean

Thanks Chrissie, I'll pop over there. I generally don't work in leather but we'll see what we can do!

And thanks Lee, I'll be waiting for your order! LOL

And Lynda, you are now in VERY good company... just had an order come through to supply some kit to some "special" soldiers! Well chuffed!

Sean

Lynda, you really are too kind! It was a pleasure to make the bag for you and I hope it serves you well for a very long time.

The bag, when the flap is attached and closed, essentially looks like the Dark Olive bag on my website. All the differences are on the inside. It's features are:

External - loops under the flap (these are a Military application but can be used to hold pens etc.)
- Removable flap
- 'Storm' flap over zip
Internal - 2 x Small pockets, one in each end
- 2 x Large pockets, one on each side
- 1 x Snap hook (for hanging house keys on?)
- 3 x Rows of 4 Elastic loops (pens? vaping device? spare carts/juice?)
- 2 x Medium pockets (phone? glasses?)
- Removable centre divider

Here's some pics:

Under construction:




Finished, but with the flap removed:






And yes... I could do these colours!

As there seems to be a few of these type threads, I'd thought I'd share with you all an extract from The Good Wife's Guide. This is an extract I used to use when training new staff in Diversity issues. This is a geniune publication, aimed at helping the Good Lady to be a Good Wife. Published in 1955, read and enjoy! (I shall now run for cover!)

"Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal (especially his favorite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed.

Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people.

Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.

Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. Run a dust cloth over the tables.

Over the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering for his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.

Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Encourage the children to be quiet.

Be happy to see him.

Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first - remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours.

Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at home and relax.

Your goal: To try and make sure your home is a place of peace, order, and tranquility where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit.

Don't greet him with complaints and problems.

Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or have him lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him.

Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.

Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.

A good wife always knows her place..."

PARKING:

It's perfectly acceptable to drive into a parking space (an empty triple space would be preferable) and to keep moving forward until you hit whatever is at the end of the space. Afterall, they're called 'bumpers' for a reason right?
