    I think it might be called Polypipe?

    It doesn't matter how many times my OH encounters a low ceiling or door, he still bangs his head on it the next time.... It's rather bizarre and exasperating.

    Think so, so now will make sure we will be. :)



    Not sure what plan is this weekend.

    I want to get on with the painting but don't think its going to be dry is it?


    Also, some strimming and burning we think. Sunday we might finally varnish the hall way floor upstairs, :o

    just keep any claw hammers and tools away from me then....:rotfl::rotfl: or you will end up minus something again..;)

    will bring cupboard/bookcases, bbq pit, carpet/rug thing, gate ? what else was it ?:cool:

    It's about 30mm if I remember rightly. There are two types and the rep was super helpful. If we'd wanted to fit ourself, he offered to come and demo how to DIY. The difference in height was enough to make the door heights a problem for my 6'3" OH, though. Funnily enough, he has the opposite problem with chainsaw trousers, Dave.

    Glad you had positive news about your DW, Dave. That sort of news can be heartstopping.

    THERE YOU GO....SORTED ;)

    DAVE chops off his trousers and sends them to rozee to add on to her DH's ....:D :rotfl:

    Well....

    We could be having a BATH in a month!!!!!

    Lucky Lucky LIR.

    It's been a decent afternoon - weird, I know. We managed to saw up the rest of the Ash limbs we'd been given & got it chopped & stacked. Always a satisfying job I find.

    Venison for tea - MMmmmmmm Followed by hot muffins with sticky toffee sauce & cream MMMmmmmmmmmmm

    It's supposed to be bad weather next week, snow.

    Well.....I'll believe I'm lucky when I'm in the bath and not before.

    Having been there thinking we had heating and hot water and then been disappointed I'm not counting any chickens till I know they are well incubated, hatched and under heat lamps.

    Supper sounds yum. I looked at my choices and gave up. :(. Had a glass of water and Poor DH grabbed a sandwich on the train.


    Eh up, its a new day tomorrow, and I'm hoping we feel we've got stuff done at the end of it.

    Aye, that's wise LIR, there are so many things that can get in the way.

    We have hail now, but a lovely bright sky. Hope it's nice tomorrow. I want to be outside again. All these weeks of, nay - months of rain made me fat & mad.
