    Hi KC yes we will have to get all the holes filled in yet again. TBH we did leave it to get really bad as we knew the council would come visiting. I hate to think how much cash we have poured into the holes in the past 8 yrs (definitely loads) probably around €3000 or the best part of at least!!!:eek: Anyway weve decided to open a credit union account and get saving then at xmas get back in touch with them to see where we are the list and maybe try again. This way at least I know I dont need to find any money in a hurry and we get time to save.

    Re Ned, he is coming to live with us as his current owner has Parkinsons so it is getting harder for him to look after him. He is a really friendly chap and loves the kids and all the attention he gets, so when were ready for him he'll be here.:)

    Oh! The road's been on your back for a long time then :(

    I'm glad Ned has a loving home to come to, especially important when the owner has to give him up through no fault of his own.

    Have been busy helping OH with his business the past few days, its good that its starting to pick up a bit now. Cant wait for the kids to finish on Friday were all getting weary now the early mornings start to tell when you know there is a break coming. Were hoping to go to Clare next week for a couple of days to visit friends. On another positive DD just won some tickets for Oxegen which is a music festival in July so thats DH's 40th b'day sorted!:T Hes going with her, should be fun. Dear old barclaycard is almost dead too :T:T another few quid should see the back of it.

    :eek:

    I read Lucielle's post before I read Turfy's!
    "Green pastures are before me,
    Which yet I have not seen;"
    I'd love to be a good example - instead, I am a horrible warning.
