Put It On The Slate

That expression refers to a shopkeeper/barman etc noting the cost of something, but allowing the customer to pay later. Bob had a couple of bits of slate, and has been busy with his Dremel drill, making a couple of nameplates for our house. I think they look very professional. 

He also hung up one of my birthday presents - my print of the three girls on a Norfolk beach on Christmas Eve is now hanging up on the wall. Thanks, Bob

I had originally thought of putting it in the dining room, but my friend Jenny suggested it would look good in the hall. She's right, it looks super there.
