    Looking forward to when you get chance to update Dedicated! :T :T

    Long day here, and quite tiring. Some cheery bits in it too though, and got lots of work done, and a good chat with colleague.

    Just printed off 2 for 1 voucher for London eye next week :T And booking confirmation for YHA, and that £30 body shop voucher I bought for £12 last week :D

    Off to a party tonight. Bit tired though :o

    Must get off the computer and do a little mini project before I go out :D Mr daffs brought me a bunch of light up fairy light tulips he'd found in the bin outside the charity shop today :rotfl: :rotfl: (they chuck everything the think they can't sell - and they're not allowed to sell electrical stuff). Ludicrously embarrassing, but I'm quite enjoying them :D

    They would make me smile, too. What an unusual present! :D

    I might take a picture later - they look proper daft when they're not switched on, but quite fetching when they are :rotfl:

    Ooh, I may be able to furnish you with an internal door (6 panel, no glass). Mr NL is planning to replace his internal porch door in the next few months with a composite one, shall I measure and let you know details??

    Er, and I bought a front composite door from the charity shop 50% off sale for £25 for him, but it does not fit his front door ... I shall measure this as well.

    I am on hols but back soon, so I will post results probably Mon 14th.

    Need to take photos of the light up tulips really don't i! :D

    Had a lovely evening yesterday, friends and their daughter came round for tea, a lovely evening of chattering and laughing and singing and pancakes :D Nice leisurely breakfast with them this morning of more pancakes (of course :rotfl:), with all kinds of fillings, and more music and lots of tea

    Off to the woods later to the bird sanctuary, an amble round the paths, and more music round a fire for a little event they're running :j :j A lovely sunday :j :j

    Hiya Everyone :D

    Been poorly all weekend but wanted to post and say thank you to NorthernLas for her kind offer with the door. Not sure if this offer was for Cheery or me? :think: But if it is not the right size for Cheery and if it would fit ours will be happy to pay for this if its the right style :D

    Your day sounds lovely cheery - am still saving for a pancake maker :T
