    Morning all.


    Lovely bright and sunny here for now.


    Went to see Interstellar last night - free thanks to Times+. If a trip to outer space is anything like the film, I don't know why anyone would want to go!


    Good deal with the paint CW. Fancy coming down here and doing my overdue decorating?

    Evening all - thanks for the Rosemary advise J - its very woody but i'll give it a go.

    Been offline and in Scotland for a few days (twice at the football) - freezing and got soaked on several occasions. Now have a stinking cold. Going back under the blanket. OH is under the weather too. No boot camp tomorrow feeling like this.

    Good morning guys

    We are still plodding on with my DS's bedroom. Why does the preparation take so long......... We put some filler in holes in the wall and its still not dry 3 days later. We have changed skirting boards and it pulled off chunks of plaster and made a right mess. Oh well must plod on with it, can;t leave it half done.

    Thanks red

    Sounds a bargain price for paint CW :D Is yours a big Asda? Our local one is an ex-Netto store, it's miles to nearest big one.

    Morning everyone :)


    We live in an area over populated with supermarkets:rotfl:as we are surrounded by them. In one direction about 1 mile away is a small ex Netto asda store and just past it a Tesco.

    In another direction, 2 miles its Morrisons, another mile to a very big Tesco and slightly to the side a biggish Asda and another Tesco.

    Going in the opposite direction from home its 1 mile to another ex netto asda, and 2 miles to Sainsburys and another Asda. Then slightly other direction 2 miles to another Sainsburys. Of course if we fancy a "long" drive its 4 miles to a very big Tesco and Asda.

    Thats not counting the 2 Aldi and 2 Lidl's, both within 2 miles of us or the couple of tesco express stores.:rotfl: Told you we are over-populated by supermarkets.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Sorry red, I hate decorating so I project manage the work:rotfl:. We usually get a decorator in but my son wanted to do his bedroom himself as he wanted new architrave and skirting boards. He will finish the woodwork side today, with a bit of luck. He has done a good job of the architrave around the door actually, lovely and neat job.

    Good morning guys

    Didn;t realise your chest infection hadn;t gone Jeferey, hope the chest x ray is clear though or you might need more antibiotics.

    Hope everyone is ok and not too wet, its pouring down here and so cold.
