The Story

Mummy's having a new kitchen fitted and so insists Angel must stay out of their way. As soon as the plumbers arrive, Mummy is following them through the house mopping up their boots moaning about the mess they're making.

Suddenly she hears the banging of a joiner and goes in to complain about the noise saying that angel won't be able to have a nap. She wraps up the hammer and provides a softer banging service to put get the work done with minimum noise.

Next she sees paint flying around and so tries to hem him in so that paint won't go everywhere with the risk of Lambkins getting splashed. Suddenly there's a loud crashing sound from his room. She goes in to find that she's been so busy keeping an eye on the workmen that she hadn't noticed he's been playing with DIY tools in his room.

Notes
I believe looking at the pictures, both the joiner and the painter are outsider, and it's whilst Mum is there, that Angel gets "hands on"
