    Miggy the garden was even more beautiful in the evening with the lights illuminating the plants at the back. Truly delightful.

    And the decking was very clean too you know.

    Looking at the film, a metal fabrication company, a joinery firm and a local garden centre appear to have lent a hand. Mobsters did stuff with window boxes, I believe... and the electricians installed the led spots and plinth lights.
    Aaah... now I am not just impressed, I'm envious and impressed.

    Drat..I had forgotten that you were a graphic designer Mike - I have just employed one to do my re-branding otherwise I would have asked you (not free would have paid).

    As for peeps lining up outside your door asking for a viewing - charge them an entrance fee and earn yourself some cash:D I am glad that grumpy neighbour has changed her mind too - I would rather my licence fee went on your house than some bloated buffoon like Jonathan Ross:D.

    When the Mob return to Littlehampton in the Summer then I shall come along:D

    Hope you don't mind but I have blogged about you and about internet fora in general to show how good they can be for helping people. I wouldnt normally have blogged about such a topic but I wanted to talk about another thief and charlatan who has based her business on stealing copy from others and passing it off as her own idea.:mad: Thieves and charlatans are everywhere but I am pleased that the lovelier people far outweigh them.

    I can remember that design programme that used to be on TV with Lawrence Llwellyn Bowen and other designers who would pretty up a room in a house with the help of the owners' friends and 9 times out of 10 it would be vile. I am pleased that the BBC do a proper job - I must admit that I did try and get Ty Pennington to do an Extreme Home Makeover but he likes knocking things down which isn't really suitable for your cottage.

    Right. No more posts tonight! Just off to reply to some of the PMs though.

    But first I'll just put my head on the keyboard and wobklnjkldjkljiriodiuruihoeoiroiuhfioeoiy...

    Mike, let me assure you the singular shape of your head is not in the least evident on TV - but anyone who can hit 'wob' with their forehead - and miss the space bar - ought to have a show of their own.

    Don't ya' just love it when you skip of to bed with a smile on your face! You've had me in tears all night!

    Of the laughter variety tonight. Not the emotionally wrecked tears of Thursday night! :D

    I have bits sticking out that make me unique.

    Believe me, you don't want to know.
