    Some people have wooden platforms for the flooring then covered in carpet , have you got anything like this?

    Do you know bubbs that would be just what we could do with, where we are on a slope the water runs through our pitch downhill. That would be a great thing. :T

    That made me :rotfl:

    What were they arguing about?
    And more importantly, who was right???:)

    We'll he's always right of course! :D I have no idea what the arguments are about, they rarely make sense.
    I think it makes a nice change from verbally abusing Teddy bears and other soft toys, which he does often :o

    I forgot to tell you all something last night.

    I needed to raid my wine stash in the bathroom for a bottle of champagne for a present yesterday. :cool:

    The box of champagne is always the one right at the bottom far right corner of my stash it had 3 leftover from an M&S glitch and the 3 that came from the Ts mystery fizz box in it.

    Well I picked up the one in the front and as I did thought this feels light. :eek:

    And when I lifted it away from the box there was no bottom to it and definitely no champagne. :(:(:(

    At some point the bottom of the bottle must have cracked and all the champagne leaked out. :mad:

    I had 5 mouldy bottles of champagne. :( I don't know when it happened and the white wine box in front of it smelt of champagne and you could see it had leaked up it so have thrown that box away too. The champagne that broke was a mystery one I have never tried before as well. :cry:

    There is no way I can easily get to the corner to clean it so have left it to dry not sure if it was still damp but I will at some point have to move the boxes at the bottom of my stash that were next to it don't know if they soaked any of it up. But it was all too much to try to do in the dark. I might have ended up buried. :o

    :eek::eek: NO! How upsetting!

    Shame there wasn't enough room for you to squeeze in and lick the carpet :p :rotfl::rotfl:
