Well i havent moved off the sofa today, every time i have got up i have been really dizzy, feeling better a bit now, but still a bit light headed..When i had my inner ear infection a few months ago, the dizzy spell would only last a few seconds, so if i still got it tomorrow, i will go to the doctors.....best way to discribe it, its like when you are drunk and the room is spinning round,

Roozee are you a solicitor? are you good at reading legal packs for auction properties?

Technically, I'm a "retired solicitor" which makes me sound older than I am, but is reference to the fact that I'm no longer in a practice. Even when I was, I specialised in mental health and child protection law, so if you're ever sectioned, I could advise on your release, but make a rubbish conveyancer )

Update: Mr Quarryman reckons he can temporarily site the static closer to the main path as getting the hardcore & static across the very wet field is a nightmare job. The temp job means we can reuse all the materials when we permanently resite it and we'll probably put it temporarily where we eventually plan to put a detached garage, so we may even be able to leave the hardcore base where it is as foundations for the garage.

Temp job cost around £500.

evening folks......
ive just been treated to a pub meal by my cousin ,im taking her to heathrow wednesday as she's back to canada

ive sold a few items and have just packaged them up to post tomorow... the rest are time up tomorow night so will see if im actually in the black rather than the red then !!! i might sell at a carboot sale next week but im afraid im a bit of a wuss for getting up THAT early and driving that far....:o [our local ones dont start till well into march/april] so will see how i feel by then...:D

rozee.....having got "cess pits" on the brain now...:D i think moving your static twice will be a nightmare/problematic.. you can link a pipe from your static to the cess pit easily. at festivals they use pipes that go 1ft down and have surface boards over the trench as its not deep. also it will be finer weather so wont freeze etc. it wont be for long will it. i think the builders might find the fact the drive is "blocked" a hinderance ie supplies/vehicles/ deliveries etc.
you mentioned how the lorries etc can move over potentially boggy ground. you could hire/buy tracking mats. they come in either high density plastic mesh [we have them on track to one of our fields. or hire the metal roll out ones they use at car shows/vehicle traffic shows. i will find out the cost of the lighter plastic mesh ones. they are very strong,used here for heavy landrover use. grass can grow through,it just stabalises the route.
i expect you are by now a tad sick of all our suggestions but if even ONE amongst ours so far helps, its maybe worth the pain !!:D

LIR.... the holliewollies are only about 1ft to 18" high at mo but im having a word with them that if they are gonna fit in between the big guys they have gotta grow....fast !!:D

Sounds like a good move, rozee.


Brrrrrr - Bitter tonight. It's been a bright, sunny day but we're paying for it now.
The forecast tells me that over the next few days the night temperatures will be the same as the average day temps for this time of the year ....... but it's likely to be cloudy &, on some days, rain.
I was hoping for something a bit inbetween ..... like dry & a bit warmer :cool:

We had a lunch out today and talked at length about the design of our garden and we have come up with quite a few ways to make our back garden look better. I am very excited about the plans we have made

Tell us more then!
You can't leave us hanging like that :rotfl:

It is hard to describe without pics (which I don't have atm) but we are going to build seating in an L shape against the house and back stairs so we have a giant seating area.

We are going to paint the back of the house and the coal bunker white to brighten it. I have bought vintage crates to put along the edge of the patio that I am going to fill with flowers

There is a long bed that I am going to plant up with flowers and various bushes. We have a lot of clutter around the garden that we are going to remove to make it look fresher.

The potting shed is going to be cleared of non garden things and repainted so that I can use it in the way it was intended. Not sure what colour to paint it, hmm food for thought.

Sounds great :beer:
When you say build seating do you mean in wood or in a brick, stone sort of "build"?

Just checking in, having been AWOL at the Panto/pub yesterday, then clearing up before attending a poultry show down in Dawlish today.

Rummer

Dave you look spectacular!

I think we are going to use wood to build the seating.
