Is OK mate, I didn't find it at all unreasonable. I do need to say NO and just back out of helping far more often. Sadly it is often SWMBO that guilt-trips me into helping "her babies". Go figure.
I have told my Missus how I feel about it and she will discretely relay it back to my lad and also reinforce the message to the DIL that a lot of work has been done for them.
Luckily for me Tom has bailed out till Sunday/next week so I can go back to doing my own stuff.

Morning All
Lovely Sunny Day again here.
My right knee is complaining about 3 x 8yd skip fillings and both my biceps are like jelly after this week. Boy am I sore.
But today I shall be luxuriating in a bath of "No OPDIY" and Swanning around Clarke Towers like I own the place....Oh, hang on I do own the place.
I will still nip up the builders merchants for a sheet of Plasterboard as the plasterer wants me to cover the reveals with a tiny strip of board even though the reveal is <1".
Have a splendid day everyone.

Our foxes & Badgers dig under the gravel boards of the fencing to continue on their path. It takes determined efforts to get them to chose a different route.
I know what you mean about the weather, it has been unusually dry for April.

She's right you know, and now you've told her about the morgidge she can see that this year or next there ain't much in it.Morning all what a cracker of a morning not a cloud in the sky
Only thing is im in the dog house for being a workaholic
no time for her or spend time at the house, tried to explain I wanted to pay the mortgage
off this summer. No good if your burnt out she says I need to look after myself an scale it
down. I Cant win but ive got 3 bigish jobs on & more in the pipeline anyone want some work.
Awell im off to the builders yard like most mornings these days, when I go in the say you
know where everything is help yourself.
Boats are getting busy too getting loads of calls n texts for repairs
Njoy your day peeps get the suntan lotion oot
Better alive in a house with a small morgidge than a wake in one that has been paid off.
Don't ride yourself so hard, the race to the graveyard is one you don't want to win!
I am sure you are that good that you will always have work. Don't worry about having to pass on a couple of jobs.
Know how you feel though. Have a mate who is always scared that each job is going to be his last, and it never is!

If SWMBO is on your side, things should get better.
