I've got an apron, like this:

It's got a tape measure, pencil, craft knife, scissors and indelible pen in it.

So those things are always to hand.

I put it on when I get in in the morning and take it off when I go home. Apart from the practical advantages, when I put it on I feel ready to work, and I also think that it creates the right impression with customers - makes me look the part.

Don't fancy carrying all that around all day, :giggle: :sweating: at my age just putting the tape measure in my pocket, send me off balance, so I can't walk in a straight line :giggle: :D :dance:

I'll go with this option. Thankyou
