That whole story sounds familiar.  Perhaps you once already  
relayed this story for me.

That's interesting, and somewhat generous to have been arranged  
for you.

I am in a similar dilema with my bookshop.. tonnes of extra  
duties (ie. cleaning) and I can only do it myself.  There  
simply isn't the extra cash to pay someone to do something like  
that.   I have some shelves that need serious attention - so,  
for that I won't have a choice and need to hire a carpenter.

A couple of dobermans at your side couldn't have helped?!
