****Welcome one and all to the Weekend Chat 7&8 August*****

We have this little unit plus the awning tent to go on the front, without the added bedroom poking out from the side in the big picture in my previous post, and without the extra "sun canopy" roof extension shown on the front of the tent in the pictures above.

It is lovely - it even has little curtains on the windows

Wow it looks great Katsu, although what's the betting that it doesn't go up/down as easily as the picture makes out?! Although I can't talk, the first time me and sister put up our tent we put it up inside out. Which explained why everyone was watching us and laughing!

Well I've done the first five minute burst on the hallway, so I should be able to keep going for the rest of the afternoon on and off. It's always so hard to get started!

Katsu, can you pm me your address again, I need to send back your strawberry bag but I've deleted it! The cordial's delicious, thanks so much for it.

Ames~How are you?
You havent been around much.

katsu

Thanks Ames, I will be pleased to have it back as they are very handy bags. I'm glad you like the cordial.

The little unit goes up nearly as easily as it looks but putting the front tent on is another matter. It took us plus neighbours to get that up and attached when we got it home so I think for weekends away we will probably only use the little unit.

It is so cute, it literally does fold out onto the floor and then fix into place. I love it. It is the most expensive thing (next to the cars) that we have ever purchased but hopefully it will last a good long time. We bought a 5yr old one and it is supposed to last 20yrs so we should get a good few holidays in.

Ames

Sounds ideal Katsu. I love the bags too, I've got four of them. I'm a bit OCD with organising, so I like to have a separate bag for all my courses, different bits of writing, and now the charity stuff, so they're perfect. Sorry I haven't sent it back sooner, the last few weeks have been really hectic.

Beanie, I'm ok, just had a really busy few weeks. There was the Terrorvision tour across two weekends, and a funeral, and sister's got a job in London so we've been going down there to flat hunt. On top of which I've had some kind of bug, so I've not been around much during the day. Things are settling down now though so I've got enough time to keep up with DC!

Right, back to the hallway.

Do you get lots of Domino tips Kayleigh?

Sometimes. Some nights I barely get anything at all but others, I can make £4/£5 worth. Only problem is, everyone else hardly makes any so my boss seems to be convinced I'm on the fiddle. *rolls eyes* He always checks the stickers they give me to show where I'm going against the computer, it's quite funny to see how paranoid he is. They don't go very far though, I nearly always end up putting them straight into my car as petrol. I get an allowance but my car usually uses a little more than it.

Not tried the cordial yet Ames, is it scrummy? Did you have it hot or cold?
Feeling a bit better today, doesn't help Aunt Flo has paid a visit and I couldn't get comfy in bed last night. Kind of passed out about midnight due to sheer exhaustion of my body hating me....but I THINK I've stopped being sick....or not as sick....so I've actually managed to eat a salad today, so I'll try it again for dinner and worry about proper food when Kai comes back from seeing his nipper tomorrow (think I'll do meatballs or burgers, not sure which I fancy.....)
Also sold my ps3....wasn't using it and as the TV broke there was no point, so got a ps2 instead! TV will go back week after next and I'll be pushing for a refund, how dare the TV break on me....So I'll get a new CRT from the charity shop and take mine down to donate at the same time....and a bag of clothes too probably...
ETA: no choc for 2 weeks......no popcorn for 2 days...I'll break my addictions!

Ah right Kayleigh have always wondered about Domino & petrol.
Some people where my mum lives seem to use scooters.
Luckily there is no Domino where I live.
Last time DS & I were at my mums we tried to order using an out of date offer leaflet~oooops!!

Ames

Elfen, it's gorgeous, I used to buy it all the time but thought they'd stopped making it - they just put it in a different bottle with a different name! It's good hot or cold, Caffe Nero used to sell it as a 'winter warmer', but if you put cold water in it's a nice summer drink.

Well, that's the small bit of the hallway done, although most of the stuff is dumped in the big bit (it's almost big enough to be a room itself).

I've also discovered that using plastic spoons in coffee doesn't work, they just melt and go a funny shape. So from now on when I'm at my groups that meet in a coffee shop I'll have to get an extra wooden stirrer or two...

We get 75p per delivery at the end of each shift. Some nights it covers petrol, some nights it doesn't, depends on traffic and how far away the deliveries were. There's only one guy at ours with a scooter, the rest are all cars. Except for one guy with a push bike! :eek: He must be mad. And yeah, I can imagine they weren't too impressed with the leaflet thing.

Must be all this talk about work, my get up and go's got up and gone.
