    What Nottingham beats Littlehampton???

    I don't think so!!!!! Maybe it was the personal involvement, but it really was THE best episode EVER IMHO :j:j:j

    I wasn't saying that, I wasn't saying anything clearly, Clearly. It's just that Mike's had a nice ending and the one the following week was a more straightforward build but it felt like the family were in bits all the way through it.

    I do think Mike's was Brill (maybe i'll stop digging!) or should I ask 'Have you written your letter Maty eh? eh?' (nice bit of distraction technique there!)

    My letter to the Beeb went last weekend :D Lots of waffly lovelyness that any normal person could have put much more succinctly I suspect :eek:

    Hey y'all, how's things? :)

    I did manage to catch the other Big Build last week - seemed to be a lot more banter and so on, but I'm guessing that was most likely because the extension wasn't threatening to fall down around their ears! :rotfl: The Dolls House still has my vote for Best Ever, though :D

    I seem to have missed stuff again, more letters to the BBC? Been spending some serious quality time with my Wii in an effort to both shift an excess half a stone I've acquired from somewhere and improve my fitness, but it isn't half eating into my online time! :o

    Good girl.

    Butti could learn a lot from you.

    Good heavens.

    I wonder if this was a class action? I though it had to be a certain amount before the High Court was used?

    If you could have a word with your mate Nick.that would be fab-u-lous, I know he rides a motorbike (I am good at cleaning them) and sailing, I can manage that - we would make a good team:D

    Not around much again, apologies for that but Horace has been a dirty stop out and went out on Friday night (this is totally unheard of) with some mates to a bar in Birmingham for a drink and a chat - some were mates and some were strangers although I did make a fab connection with a former Central TV newsreader (which reminds me, I must ring her this week). I had to spend the whole weekend recovering from the shock of going out though:eek: Oh and I cleaned the kitchen and made a start on cleaning the lounge.

    Am glad I found out about cheating weasel when I did and I have since uncovered more - had to laugh as he is passing himself off as a 30 something medical professional - he is 44 and a civil servant who works for the MHRA and certainly not a medical professional:rotfl: I have even seen a photo of the new friend too, she is rather hard faced if you ask me but then I think they are well suited:rotfl:

    I love your pictures Mike including the one of the festive branch:D
