    It's not about real work - it's television!

    You can do the work the following weekend or something. I need a bucket chain of MSEs to carry bricks and stuff from the back garden out to a skip...

    Can you make curtains? And hang then?

    Ooh, a chain gang, I'm sure we can manage that! :j:T:T:j

    Please, please let it be a day I can get there, I sooo want to see the cottage in real life. And would love to be able to say I was a (very) small part of helping it be finished.

    Can't sew for toffee, but I can hang curtains :)

    I'll make sure you're free. You must come!

    You've already been an equally big part with everyone here in making it happen...

    Happy....sorry about your car honey, no wonder you were angry! :mad: Hope you get mobile again very soon! ;)

    I've made curtains before, took about a year and material had to be checked fabric so I had a straight line to follow! :D Ready made curtains would probably be cheaper in the long run! Unless niccatw has learned to thread a needle by now!!!! :p

    Can we have t-shirts printed with Mike's Mob! Except yours Mike, that can say My Mob! :p
