    Why do I always spell beach incorrectly?

    One of those great unanswerables.

    Life's a beach, innit?

    Just popping through, your post on the visit sounds fantastic. I have been saving some lilac voiles but it sounds like you won't need them :D This is an amazing result and I really am so pleased for you.

    I showed my OH your OneShow video and told him about your thread and he asked when we were going to your house and with what.

    When your house is done and you are due to be on TV can you get the local papers interested in the fact you were featured and give your builder a bit more bad publicity?

    I haven't found the local papers to be supportive. Too busy covering council meetings and crowning of Carnival Queens round here.

    When is he coming to my house and with what? Do I need to set the alarm? So long as it's not a burning rag, he's welcome!

    And what, pray, is a lilac vole? And what are you saving them from?
    :cool:

    LOL - a voile. they are a more modern version of a net curtain - I have some door sized ones in lilac. Sounds like you won't need us all to give you random house stuff any more tho, as you will have your fancy american fridge :D

    OH assumed we needed to come round with some stuff for you. I guess they will sort you out with lots of stuff but is there anything you know you will still need?

    Papers might react to the magic word TV?

    Thank you! So am I. And 'excited' doesn't really do it justice.

    Now starts the paperwork, CRB checks... lots of it. Worth it though!
