Sounds like the Hertfordshire nice people are right in the 'firing line' - I would love to buy you a cup of coffee, I'm afraid we can't accommodate until the building work is finished tho.

Or, I can make a deviation, which would see me coming down to the M25 and going anti-clockwise, then down the M3.... missing off a lot of where I might have meandered to.

Double congratulations.:j

Am I the only one who immediately thought of this when 'painted model' was mentioned?

We completed on our new place on Friday! Yay! It's all ours!

OH was foolish enough to tell isaac about the hot air gun which removes paint from the upstairs wall. So far, I've just stopped a painted model and a mil bottle from being incinerated by the fan heater <sigh>

Oh, and I have my engagement / wedding rings and photos, which is rather nice!

Your geography is better than mine, I thought PN was going round the southside of the M25.

Seeing that reminded me of a somewhat less 'aesthetic' album cover from the 70s:



The band was called Juicy Lucy.

Though it shows less, there seems little doubt the model had huge melons.:whistle:

Congratulations NDG! It's all happening for you! :j

Phew! Was never worried...:whistle:

Seriously, why do we put ourselves through that?

I'd have liked Blackpool to stay up too, as long as it wasn't at the expense of us!:o Slim margins this year...

Exceptonally windy at the mo round here.

Had a srange experience this weekend. The banks advise how severely we need to protect our pins etc. Went to the cashpoint saturday morning. As I approach, an elderly lady gets out a car & moves towards the same cashpoint. If I'd sped up my pace, I'd have easily got to the cashpoint first. But I wasn't in a rush, & worried that if I did it might worry her, so I slowed, & followed her up the slope (very slowly...). As she got to the cashpoint she turns to me & says sh's glad I turned up, as she can't see the cashpoint at all & needs help. I had to help her enter her pin, decide which facility & how much to get out, & so on. As she leaves, she tells me that she always has to do this - sometimes waiting for someone to come along to help her!:eek:

I'm quite a paranoid person in a lot of respects (see for example the slowing down walking as I didn't want her to think I was about to mug her - even though it was a shopping area on a sat morning in broad daylight) so it was linda nice for someone to so instinctively trust. At the same time, worrying the risks this lady regularly takes.

Or do we just worry too much?

Congrats to NDG from jellyland too!

And to PN for her forthcoming holiday! 'm slightly off your route though...

Must have been as nerve wracking as this

where even a draw would have sent us down (on goal difference).
