Thanks Shegar.. yes I was thinking my name is rather long to keep writing... perhaps I should sign with TGOD then everyone will get used to it and shorten it.. We've discovered we're about 5-8 miles (i'm no good guessing mileage but it must be about that..:D) away from each other and yes Caroline Grace does house her spitfire there.. love watching it fly over head, doing it's stuff.. not a sight or sound like it.

Well I've made another 6 jars of spicy tomato chutney to go in my store cupboard :T Beetroot chutney tomorrow me thinks.

Well I'd better go and list a couple more things on ebay.. I have a home to decorate..

HJ!!! You are alive!!! Read your flipping mails woman Oh and I am still awaiting pictures

I knew you would come up wth the goods. I already have a load of wood in the wood shed and stacked beside the garage covered with a tarp but I actually need another store too. I am trying to get as much wood as possible in before winter. I have the coal. That is certainly the cheapest I have seen HJ. Thanks very much. xx

I think you will find the cat is already marking out territory in anticipation of connection :rotfl:

Evening All - hope all is well in the North and the west - it is dark, blustery and very rainy here in the SE!

Our bedroom has undergone a rather big makeover in the last year or so. it was my MILs room (we lived with her up until she died in 2008). We finally got around to clearing it out last year (full of really old fusty stuff and awful wallpaper). Now, three walls are a lovely dusky deep lilac/mauve and the one behind the bed has a rather exotic paper that is duck egg blue with cream and varying shades of mauve, in very French Art Nouveau style. The bed is a cream French iron bedstead. The dressing table, bedside cabinets and chest of drawers are covered in embossed silver metal, and there is a big silver-framed mirror over the fireplace. I have a lovely shabby chic edwardian wardrobe that is painted in Lauara Ashley off-white and a glass-fronted cabinet on cabriole legs waiting to be given the same treatment (for my collection of perfume). There was a nasty brown tile 1940's fire surround which I have covered with white mosaic with highlight of various coloured tiles and mirrors (work in progress). Curtains are WIP too, just got something up to keep the light out atm.

The room looks so different to how it was when it was MILs room, it is lovely and tranquil. All the bad memories of her last illness have gone and it is the only room I will miss when we have move westward to run our business.

Upload pics off your camera card, to my pictures, then to another website like photobucket or some such and then post the link off of there onto here.

Good evening young Sages...I am after a log store. As you know everything on here I thought I would ask you lot first. Yes, I know I could make it but unfortunately there are not enough hours in a day.

Steve has been lit and now Fat Knacker is sprawled out in front of him. I am about to go and make some onion marmalade after actually doing chuff all today for a change.

I had a blokey round last week to quote for a landing and stairs carpet. The walls are lime and the wood is a white and I am after a navy runner but all I kept getting from him was "oh it will be expensive". I was very tempted to say "yeah, thanks for that but let me decide whether I can afford it or not please!" I dont think he wants to do it as I believe it is pretty fiddly.

Best way and cheapest way to make a log store is get 4 used palletts, nail or screw them together, the air can circulate through palletts very well, when I had a open fire that was what I made,hey presto one cheap and cheerful log store,:D or buy a tarpaulin or tilt and just cover it......:D

Safe harbour to all those affected by the wind, it's a bit wild here but not storm force. I hate it when you hear stuff banging around in the night. Scary.
