    I love that Squizz picture! Well done proper squizz too on the race....I still think you're mad :T

    Beanie - Hope DS and his GF sort things out soon x

    Claire - don't do any painting - you could do more damage than good - wait until you know what's what with your back....

    Sun keeps going behind big fluffy clouds....the temperature drop is amazing, think I was being a bit previous by putting a t-shirt on this morning. Need to go rework next months budget as there will be slightly more coming in (although I'm sure it will get cut somewhere else along the line before long) and need to have a serious look at what I can put on ebay/make from other sources......Need to try and find £1500 for DH's electric wheels and new ramp and don't want to shove any of it on a card.:cool:

    got any DIY people close to you, ramps are pretty easy to make, and then can be made exactly the way you need them!

    Ahhhhh, I still remember my first kiss. It was really good actually! :rotfl:

    He's a friend of mine on FB now, and hasn't changed a bit, literally! Still obsessed with his skateboard and his designer trainers. Bless. :)

    My dad's going to make the ramp so it's only the cost of materials there (and the endless cups of tea of course) :D


    Beanie - he's still technically employed so I'll get him to look into that...thanks x
