  • Hello Pigpen

    I am glad you are ok and I know how frustrating not having a good connection to the internet is..... it always just drops off when you need to use it.

    Can I just ask a question..... are we doing the kitchen again today as we did that room on Monday? I know that it is a little different in the detail.

    Sorry to be awkward!!

    My interweb keeps dropping out too, keep losing posts :mad:

    Anyhoo - I have demanked part of my room where the wardobe was,
    dismantled the remaining parts of the wardrobe (drawers etc), Chest of drawers next, I promise...
    filled a binbag,
    packed some more,
    Cleared underneath my bed
    Dusted shoeboxes, filled up underbed storage and packed it all,
    Shuffled the spare room round to make more room

    Am starting to worry my van wont be big enough.... :o

    Dusty good luck vibes for DS...
    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.
