    Sarsie, not sure if the B&Bs are fully booked..... think a couple have been mentioned above. I've just booked into the YHA which is about 10 minutes from Mikes place. £34 for two nights (think there is a bit extra if you aren't a member) and it looks ok. Just going to make sure I keep my stuff locked in the boot of my car!!

    Great minds think alike... Thats actually where I was looking at I was just being broad, but I could do with leaving it a couple of days for cash flow's sake, which I know is a risk. If I promise not to bring any guns drugs explosives or Chinese immigrants can I borrow some space in the boot too?

    Oh and BBC lady is at her desk NOW I had an email one minute ago so I came racing to say try now!

    Hi Sarsie

    :jA lot of us have also heard from Christine, at least we have some more info. If you want a T-Shirt you have to order it. Let me know your size. Cost will be about £5 each depending on numbers ordered. ORDER TODAY. Not sure about B&B spaces, google Littlehampton Accommodation and there is lots to choose from. Some are staying in East Beach Guest house, some in Arun Sands and others in Sea Breeze.

    Christine is ignoring me! :( Could be because she knows I like to see peoples mailboxes full! :D

    Could be because she's heard about my DIY skills! :rotfl::rotfl:

    MerryWidow............I'm coming to Littlehampton whether I'm wanted or not....who needs an invite? :D

    PLEASE CAN I HAVE A MEDIUM T-SHIRT. (can't remember if I ordered one or not, brain fried!) ;)

    Most single room accomodation has been filled BUT...

    Keith at SeaBreeze B&B had some double rooms left available that he will give a very good deal on! Tell him your one of the MSE mob who are visiting for DIY SOS.

    If rooms are gone, he also offered to help find further rooms elsewhere through his contacts!

    TEL:....01903 - 719885

    Look forward to seeing everyone there that can make it! :j

    Be back later!

    PS (((((Hugs))))) to Miggy, miss you honey!

    Hi Mike, found this thread last night and am now totally addicted. Am only on page 34 but wanted to pop in and say hi and that I have found you to be such an inspiration so far. I too was ripped off by a cowboy builder, maybe will tell later but want to carry on reading to find out how things progressed for you, can't just skim over posts! Might be a while, but will catch up!:rotfl:

    Glad you're here but sorry you were ripped off. If you want to compare experiences, let me know! Seems it's usually very similar...

    Sorry to drag up a thread from the dark ages (also known as March) but I have got the opportunity to look dead smug now coz I've got loads more experience of poverty see and just for once that's a good thing haha! :rotfl:

    Next time this is what you do...

    You drive HALF WAY there. You pass a petrol station, a mile later double back and approach the petrol station from the other way. You go in and you talk to the manager and you produce ID and you explain that you're only too happy to write a cheque dated payday or to come back on Tues when your money goes in, but you've been caught short and you can't get 29 miles home. Since your car will usually do about 35 to the gallon, £4 of petrol would do it, is there even the slightest possibility that pretty please could they consider letting you have £4 of petrol and your paying on Tuesday just so you can get home? You swear to God you would be there at whatever time of the morning they requested and will even leave your driving licence for security, after all they've got you, your car and your licence all captured on the CCTV and everything. Pleeeease? You wouldn't ask but- times are that hard.

    It has failed me once. The other dozen times worked. And yes I ALWAYS pay up!

    And it's not actually lying coz you DO need that to get home.

    An intriguing strategy... personally unless I have half a tank I start getting the heebyjeebies...

    Will be interesting to see who is doing the work!

    B

    You'll have to tell me after the 18th. I went back to the house this morning to let a builder in, then there were about six, and the building inspector, and they started digging the floors up. I made my excuses and left, after making coffees all round.

    There are things going on there I know nothing about...

    At least I can relax knowing that everyone's booked in somewhere and I won't have to try and follow any more posts about booking blasted B&Bs...
