    I saw the social housing programme with George Clarke - it’s a total disgrace. I’m hoping his celebrity status and campaign he is starting puts pressure on those in power to do something about it. The office building converted into 1 room living was horrendous- and we’re supposed to be a rich and caring country. I didn’t see the one about people living on the beach.

    18 months will be here before you know it Beanie.....shows how plodding is getting you there.

    Have a lovely weekend :T

    Thanks :)
    The one about the two men living on the beach was called Broke. BBC if i REmember.

    Thanks DIA :) YOu too :)

    Weather forecast is not good for tomorrow & I love getting things dried outside.

    Bet you feel better for a haircut though. I’m having mine cut on Tuesday - it’s not that bad but I’m going to a wedding next Monday and won’t have time to get it done Monday morning so if she cuts it I’ll blow it best I can before the wedding.....no idea what I’m wearing yet though:eek:
    Hope he’s finished his grass by now :T

    Beanie I may not have commented on your diary for a long time but I have kept up. I have new people moved in downstairs of Eastern European heritage and oh boy they are loud when they talk. They are currently drilling, I am sure they are re modelling the whole flat:rotfl:. Very friendly they are though , even though I am sure my northern accent is confusing them.

    Here's hoping that you get to see some scooters this week and find one that is suitable. I have had a wine sat outside with one of my neighbours and I think it has gone straight to my head. :beer:.
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.
