    Hope all is well, lir.

    I'm still trying to figure out why you needed spare knickers? I'm the sort of persont hat if I had spare knickers in my handbag, I'd absentmindedly pull them out and put them on a shop counter while looking for the debit card I'd not put back in my purse, again.

    Thanks both of you. The very front bit will need to be garden because all the houses along there have front gardens. I was wondering it might be possible to put a couple of garages sizeways on in the next bit where it's still quite narrow, and then the actual houses a bit further back. But I'll PM you both the grid reference. I recommend looking at it on street view as well as on satellite, so that you can see how the slopes work. The house and garden are on reasonably flat land, but the drive slopes quite steeply down towards the house because the road has been raised when the bridge was built (after the house).

    I'd like to see. It will really depend on the current street scene as to what the planners would allow in place. The height and spacing of existing houses will have a big influence on future development.

    Our architect charged £1000 for the application and drawings to the LA. The LA charge £335 per dwelling for a new build application.

    Outline is no cheaper than full planning permission but the architects costs will be lower if there's less for them to figure out.

    I'd go for paid for pre-app advice from the planners after running through some ideas and rough sketches with the architect.

    Of course you were. They are of the "Entitled Class" and you're "Renter Scum Class"

    Simples :)

    And just when I thought I couldn't get any lower I downgraded to the 'lives with parents' subclass :D

    Oh no. Hope things get better soon.

    Thanks Lyd, I'm just always tired atm, and I've got aching legs/back; not like me at all.

    I'm struggling to eat properly, either, and one of Youssef's £4.50 specials (in our cafes), I can't even eat half of.

    Idk what's going on?!

    ETA: I've taken the next 6 weeks off work, and will be doing a runner, so hopefully things will get better!

    CK is currently liaising with HB for one of my homeless that I've got into accomodation, as they've not been paying out as they're dealing with May applications. This is obviously putting resident in distress, as South Anglia have to 'protect' the debt. :mad:

    Could well be your body has realised you are about to have a break - I always find the first few days I have off I go down with the cold or whatever that I have been ignoring when busy.

    DD had to go for a scan. She reassured then that she was definitely not wearing anything metal, they turned the scanner on, then off again when her hair stood on end. Then she removed her hair pins .... :)
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    We're driving to Kiev for a week, then Odessa for 2, then flying to Batumi for 2, before landing back in Odessa and L'viv for a week, before driving back. I'm still nervous about using the Roki tunnel (which is the quickest way down) :eek:

    I've found my Russian plates somewhere under the back 2 seats (which have only been up once since I've had the car), so needless to say, they'll be going on once we're about 5mi from the Ukrainian border.

    I seriously do think I need a break. I've worked (including driving time and working from home) 1,491 hours in the last 3 months (rolling 13 week), so it'll be nice to get some time off to spend with the kids where I'm not preoccupied!

    ETA: The Milan is a few days of work with travel included, so therefore not included.

    That was a CT scan then!

    My wedding ring did that! Not a nice experience, however hair pins, she should be fine, as they're not completely touching the skin!

    Well ypu never know when you might need spare knickers.


    I did have to take my bra and wesding ring off, had a choice of my clithes or gown in The end. and annoyingly my headwas not swollen to day, would have prefered tohave scan when it was, but hope fully still good enough.
    The eye went last night again but not as completely and did nothing because, ironically would have had same situation , a scan this morning.

    I do not rememeber my scans before, apart from the npises i remembered last night. And, well, i had a bit of a panic as they put me in the mri. I did a very food impression of the oh no no cat and burst into tears Annoyinly washing of mascara and blue war paint both. Then i completely bacfe.ed them by laughing while crying and asking if they knew the oh long johnson cat too. :o. They obviously felt i was one on those nutters who needs to be treated gently, and they really did.

    As soon as i startec oh no noing, they pulled me out and were really kind and though i said i was ready made me take time before putting me back in,

    Its funny that it can be so scarywhen it does not hurt. The man in the iron mask type head thing is particularly disempowering. The worst bit is the moving bit though, once in, though snug ( i really have put on weight) it was ok, cosy even, i just did not like the movementin to the small space while feeling so strapped in. They spent ages moving a mirror so i could see out but it must have got knocked duri g the ohno cat moment and when i went in in was in the worng place and i asked not to mpbe pulled out and that i would rather be without a view than moved again.

    Anyway, the imaging was good i think, and i did not need to be injected for a sedond round with dye so must have been ok.

    I did relax in there eventually. Its a bit like a light womb at eight and a half months gestation, but warm, snug. The sound was not even so loud as i remembered. I wonder if thats because this was a better machine, or because i am fully operatioonal now and before sound meant more or something.

    When i came out they said they were confused my my foot twitching and i explained i had nprelaxd by imagining i was conducting the sounds :o.

    Hospital was very delux, one of the nicest i have been to, and after wards i was euphoric but wired so my dad took me to the pub and gave me too large glasses of wine ( i did not take pain killers today or yesterday) and now i feel reaplaxed but a bit quesy:o:D.

    Just have to wait now. Worst bit over for finding out so nothing for me to do but get on with life.



    Came home and the floor in thie cheese room is out, (hurrah) and the walls of the old kitchen/ new study are about to come down i think.

    Its amazing!


    Doozergirrl, doozerbpy thinks we should flog the floor and said to tell you that. We have a few reclamation yards locally, but might be better opn redpclamation web or u or whatever it is.
