    Dentist done and i didn't need any work...:j
    Lifted DD's bike and the bike man has been fantastic, he's put new stabilisers on with a another metal bar so they won't move on her. He also talked about the next bike up, which we thought she wouldn't be able to get because stabilisers won't fit but he can get them specially made in America and sent over. I'm so chuffed. :D

    Right back to flying. :rotfl:

    Dusty good luck with the exam.

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
  • Are you sitting the exam, dusty, or just invigilating it?

    Need to get my act together on the house front... I've just arranged to go and do some viewings to get an idea of what's available... however, one of them looks pretty good and is on the same road as my brother - at the opposite end. It may well have sold by Saturday BUT it's either fate or a very, very bad idea...:p

    Better go and call a couple of agents to come round and do the valuation here, and then go and see the agent in the village to explain what the deal is...

    My son has little balance and I was worried that this would be the last bike he could have as it is the largest stabilisers fit. I will now check if a local bike shop can order some when he outgrows it. Thanks:T
