    Hello to one and all :wave:

    I’ve been lurking on this thread for ages, but finally decided to post to say how amazing you have all been in supporting Mike, and what a truly inspirational thread this is. I had to admit I had a tear in my eye when Mike gave the fantastic news about the big build going ahead.

    I ended up reading pages 1 – 132 over 3 nights – I was totally hooked, and could not stop reading (think I was up until 3am on night!), and have been catching up every few days since.

    I am absolutely delighted for you Mike - I truly hope you end up with a fantastic home for you and the boys to enjoy once everything is finished. And I’m sure you’ll all celebrate in style on the day of the big reveal! _party_ :beer:

    Now pleeeeeaase can I be included in the email/newsletter (the real reason why I posted :p), as I hate not knowing what’s going on (saying that it must be even harder for Mike, but you do get a wonderful surprise at the end!). Who do I need to PM my email address to? :D

    Hmmm, not had any reason to celebrate anything since I decided I didn't like alcohol much any more. How on earth does one celebrate without it?

    And this secrecy - sorry, surprise - is really getting to me!

    Mornin', what are you doing up at this hour young Michael?

    One might ask you the same question. I'm way beyond sleep!

    I was tempted to ask for the newsletter to find out what was going on..........BUT.......... I have decided to enjoy the anticipation and wait until all is revealed to Mike !! Otherwise it's a bit like knowing what you're going to get for Christmas !

    I really hope someone is saving the newsletters so they can be published after 'the event' though cos it would be lovely to view all the planning.

    Meanwhile I hope Mike is feeding Robin? He probably likes mealworms but I don't know how to do pictures :(


    \&S&/ ( a bowl of worms !)

    I think the hole in the floor is probably going to be an indoor swimming pool :D


    ETA: " yes please" to chocolate
