elusivekYeah sorry my internal calendar is all wonky!
1. Can you do simple sewing repairs, such as replacing a button or rejoining a straight seam?
I can replace a button... not sure about rejoining a seam as luckily enough, I never needed to do that. Though the other time my sister planned to kick out an old single mattress, I cut it in half (for my extended bed). So after just cutting it in half, I had to measure and cut out more of the foam in the middle to make it fit, and I'd need the extra outer cloth to close up the cut. I hand-stitched it and while I'm no seamstress, I can say I can do it nicely enough. I just can't end a stitch LOL
2. Can you change a flat tire?
I'm lucky enough to live in a part of the world where there are gas stations everywhere and they can change a tire if need be, and even if I'm somewhere remotely considered as remote, there is a 24-hour tire/battery change service. I tried him twice and he was always quick to help. But it must be said that I really do want to learn how to change the tires myself.
3. Can you plan and cook a simple meal?
Not sure about the planning, but cooking is easy. Just no chance to do it, with a Dad chef constantly marking the kitchen as his territory. I can only cook when the parents are on holiday.
4. Can you rewire a lamp?
It has been many years, but last time I did, I did manage to do so successfully. It's just a matter of whether I have the patience to actually get it done.
5. Are you a spender or a saver? Are you able to switch from one to the other on occasion?
Mostly a saver, but I may be bitten by the spender bug once in a while. I can't switch at my choice though LOL.
