    I will post a list and start some proper flying shortly. Just popped here while I printed out my Half0rds e mail. Been to PO to collect the vouchers:D to pay for the bike, been to shed and removed front wheel from old bike (am disgusted that the repairs to old bike would have been about same price as new bike...) as I am keeping the wheels (the back wheel had already been removed) because they are the same size as the wheels on DDs bike and my bike. As the bike shop is close to the tip I am taking old bike frame away and then going to collect new bike...
    It would have been MUCH quicker had I remembered that I had changed the bike lock code:rolleyes: and what the new one was:eek: ...However I had the sense to start at 2000... it opened at 2660 and then I realised the significance of those digits:o
    Have also had a coffee with my mum and put a jacket spud in the oven so that I will have something to eat when I get back...

    Oh - and I swept out the shed and tidied it a bit, too!
    See you later!
