Barbara Cartland looks for an electric drill in her toolshed.

Dame Barbara was adept at putting up shelves to house the first editions of her 723 books that she wrote. She also built a sturdy Tippex™ storage unit to store the used bottles of Tippex™ typewriter correcting fluid. She didn't want the fumes to get into the wrong hands. Dame Barbara wrote many a romantic novel whilst '"Giddy on Tippy fumes and chocolate eclairs!" She was often quite floaty and light of consciousness when her publisher visited to hand over her royalties in rolls of freshly-minted UK banknotes. She always insisted on payment in cash as she once had a disagreement with a snobbish bank clerk who commented on her ammonia fragrance. It was NOT ammonia of course, but a powerful blended concoction from the expressed glands of her Persian cat, Juniper Jim.
