    We've been for a lovely walk before our Sunday dinner to Northcliffe Woods, the miniature railway was running and asks for donations only so it's a pretty cheap day out!

    Spud, you cannot go to the tip now, you will miss the football. Send him indoors :D Do you realise in your drunken state last night, you proposed to me? The post has been deleted now but I remember it :D

    I dont do the tip, I just stay home and nip on here while he's gone ;)

    I was VERY drunk last night. What did I propose :D
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    :T Result :T

    When my Mum moved house we found 3 Tents and 7 windbreaks in her garage :eek: she just kept buying new ones because she couldnt find the old ones.

    We've got a big double garage and today is the first time the car has ever been in there. We've lived here over 12 years :rotfl:

    We gave up on ever being able to fit a car in our garage so we had it converted to a play room for the boys and had an attick built in it for the junk to go in.

    Its a bit wierd in there because there are no windows as we kept the garage door on and left ourselves a "mini garage" so we could store bikes, BBQ etc and so that if we ever sell the new owners can just knock down the false wall and can have a garage back.

    Great place for the kids to play xbox and Electric guitar as we have kept the fire door on too:rotfl: soundproof almost.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I think the kids have got ideas for the space. They looked a bit gutted when the car went in there.

    We still have quite a bit of stuff to get rid of. Trouble is, DH just put the roof box on the car, so we dont fit under the height barrier at the tip any more :rolleyes:

    We just need to work out how to fit the camping stuff AND the dog in the car at the same time, and we'll be able to go on Thursday :confused:
