    3D, you have been busy.

    I'm all for an early night. Spent the last two at my son's new place delivering the rest of his odds 'n' sods. I had to assemble a shelving unit for him last night. When I asked him for his allen key set, he produced 1 small allen key that was no good for the job in hand. Luckily, he has a T's 5 minutes walk away, so popped in there and low and behold, they had a small selection of tools including an allen key set. I also grabbed a ratchet driver with interchangeable bits just in case. Lucky I did, as I ended-up needing a pozi-driver to finish-off the job in hand.

    The only issue I now have is trying to locate a couple of curtain poles for him. They just don't seam to crop-up on freegle/cycle any more.

    Right, now off to have a soak in the tub with a nice bottle of beer, then off to bed.

    Night all.

    Tell him to be calm. He did the hardest part when he sat his exams. Sit tight and something will turn up.

    Well done Beanie, you are doing really well lately - keep it up petal :j :j

    Hiya Patman - your son is lucky to have you doing jobs for him :D What about the car boot for the curtain poles, we often see them at our local car boot? Enjoy your soak in the bath and bottle of beer :beer:

    Yes, people are interesting and it is good to 'chat' to those with different ideas than you, to get a balance

    I remember that you said earlier you were having an early night Kit, so I assume your light is green as you have left your computer on, and that you are now sound asleep in bed ;);)

    If Kit is anything like me, she will just shut the lid and let the computer go into hibernation.

    Think I will try the boot sale. There is a huge one on the outskirts of Colchester on a Sunday. Mind you, it could be fun trying to squeeze a 2m pole into a Ford Focus.

    Arh, we had the Focus Estate so no trouble for us ;)

    I have been fiddling around with budget figures for the last hour or so :eek: but I am off to bed now, so night night everyone :D

    Arms is ok.

    Can sometimes be very friendly and other times, you need to put riot gear on.

    There are friendly people in there, and they do not like trolls or AEs, so will pull them to bits if they venture in there. But then you also get other people.... just err on the side of caution. :)
