    I think she means it's 2 years ago since Beech had a bit of a nibble of her hand:(
    and knackered it:(

    I should be booking my coach tickets today:j
    coming down no latter than Tuesday before the rave
    Sunday or Monday:cool: is more likely


    Horace, the only tip is use Topcashback - 5%cashback:D
    and the coach to Wols usually goes from gate 1 :cool:
    The Belgravia does a better and cheaper pint than Travellers:beer:
    and its not hard to find:cool:

    Thanks for the tip Numpty and the reminder to book my tickets. I get cheap coach tickets because I claim the disabled rate:rotfl: I am thinking of coming down on the 29th July and coming back on 2nd of August.

    I tend to go into The Travellers Rest for a Baileys Latte, I try not to wander too much.

    we would love to see you sometime. and i'm glad you both like your cards. Making them keeps me out of mischief :)
    i'm surprised you were sent out to find a suitable screw (norty girl) i would have expected the plumber to know where one could be located.
    i've got a weekend with OH working both days so i may yet make some more cards though what i really do need to do it make some more cushion covers

    One week after what was meant to happen.......

    and today I can proudly report.....

    I have a dining room floor.....:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    and wallpaper up the stairs/landing :beer::beer::beer:


    and hanging baskets loooking fab everwhere with an irrigation system to support them:j:j:j:j

    It's all so luverly....and I think I am a bit shellshocked.


    Please don;t expect anything sensible from me over the weekend :o:rotfl:...tears have been flowing profusely and methinks they may be an intermittant recurrence over the next few days


    I daren't believe ..in case it all goes ****up again (yes - we had another emergency today at 8am - seems the utility sink is so "bowed" it;s defective :cool:).. Ah well - it's been fitted anyway - August us another month in which to invoke the warranty ;)

    Suddenly at 9pm tonight I realised that my home/garden is finally coming back to me - and it;s DO-ABLE ----:j- very emotional couple of hours tonight....


    Still can;t quite believe it after three years........I'm finally getting my house back...I'm finally getting my house back ....I always hoped but never quite believed it was possible........


    It's just too wondrous


    Wow....

    Morning Wol - long time lurker here! Just had to say I am so pleased that things are finally coming together and I too had eye leakage whilst reading your post. You are an amazing and inspirational person. I know things have taken their toll on you over the last few years but you are finally getting there - brilliant :j
