    I'm a demon in a pinny.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I once stopped at a greasy spoon and asked the women behind the counter for a double burger, she got the burgers and put one under each armpit. When I asked what she was doing she replied defrosting them.

    I was glad I'd not asked for a hotdog!:rotfl::rotfl:

    Cheers, handy.

    By the way the Coffee is great this morning.:T

    Hi Everyone :hello:

    Long time no see! Feels like ages since I've been here but only a couple of days and sooo many posts to read, you sure have all been busy.

    Forgive me if I don't reply to all the comments etc raised but I would just like to say to 3Dogs & Mr 3Dogs and also to Handy that I hope everything picks up for you all soon, it just seems to be one thing after the other sometimes doesn't it. I'm hoping that maybe next week I will have some me time and will be able to just hang around on here all day catching trolls/spammers and eating geebee's treats, I'm so glad they are all calorie free:)

    My journey yesterday was a bit of a nightmare. To avoid most of the silverstone traffic and speed restrictions on the M1 I decided to go M40 instead. Got just outside Birmingham and got a flat tyre:(, phoned RAC and had to wait 1 1/2 hours for them to send a contractor who promptly advised me my spare was flat and he didn't have a pump:eek: I've never heard anything like it, sending someone out to change a wheel and not carry a pump. Luckily I had one so I set off on my merry way, the delay meant I didn't get back home 'til 1am and to crown it all we had yet another power cut and I had to walk up 8 floors:mad::mad: I was cream crackered to say the least and EDF got a mouthful off of me today, not that it gets you anywhere, but it's getting beyond a joke we've had at least 1 a month for about the last 8-12 months:mad:

    Ok rant over, sorry.

    The weather has been really hot here, we haven't had any rain yet. The grass is very brown and in need of some rain but I think we will get some this week.

    Hope you have all had a good day.

    Glad you got home safe BL...

    The electricity thing is beyond a joke isn't it?.. we tend to get power cuts a lot here but when the weather's bad, not just for no reason, i'd not be happy at all!!.

    Another little Handy story from Hooray Hall.

    Last year when I was converting the thatched barn to a guest lodge, Fred our resident builder said he could do with the actual toilet pan to lay out the
    on-suite bathroom. Lady Hooray had already been down to the local Bathroom centre and ordered a designer toilet £650.00 for the room.

    His Lordship who was present at the time said “can we get one sooner and cheaper”, yes sir I replied and of we went to Wicks to get a bathroom in a box priced at £80.00.

    Fred was 20ft up the ladder when her Ladyship came in to inspect the days work.

    “Look what I got you Darling “said his Lordship, “A toilet in a box and I saved £470.00“.

    You “F’!!!** fool she said it looks like something out of a council house“, (her Ladyship has a way with words).

    “Look it’s a plastic loo seat she said about to throw it across the room.

    Fred up the ladder could stand no more, at least your !!! wont have to look at it when you use it.
    I could always make another hole in the wall and we could use it as a designer window.


    The Wicks loo stayed but the seat got changed, Total Cost of Barn Conversion £95K, Value added to property 250K. Nights used since completion (8 months ago ) One.

    Ps Fred was laid off at Christmas, I gather he was glad to go, To work here it helps to have a sense of humour.

    Today Lady H said she might have to let the Barn out as her BP shares had hit the floor, she said she needs to watch the penny's. I wish I only had 100k a year to live on instead of 200k

    Cheers all, handy.

    I really like that Barn Handy!.
