You just need to change your settings tweets :) No more stretchy pages :cool:

I did that once and must have done it wrong because I didn't like how pages looked squashed up . Thanks will look again and see if I can make page normal :cool:

we we were going through planning we were told we had to have parking spaces outside for 4 cars as there were 4 bedrooms - good in theory but at the time our offspring were 20 years away from needing cars and the boys bedrooms were actually one room split which is now one big room so actually 3 bedrooms
in theory we can squeeze 3 in but fortunately no one at the end enforced the 4 car space which would have meant digging the front garden up

mhoc, I think you have a good local authority... sadly ours is :eek::eek::eek:

All the talk of building houses, my dad built our house in Scotland took him 3 1/2 years and we lived on site in a very basic caravan. Things i'll never forget:

The first winter in the caravan was particularly bad, the water pump cracked in two because the temp dropped below -20.

When it was blizzard conditions we would get snow blown in through the vents.

Waking up to ice on the inside of the windows.

Mother successfully cooking Xmas dinner for 4 on the smallest of cookers :eek:

Using the gas fire to make toast, best toast ever

The constant drum of a generator, no electric on site :eek:

An argument over windows and which side would open

A hammer thrown in frustration at the car windscreen :rotfl::rotfl: I was the cause of that happening.

Eating ice cream whilst sunbathing on the roof, was actually meant to be helping

Moving in at the earliest opportunity kitchen/ bathroom hot water completed. Space!!!

My parents being mortgage free :j

That is fabulous especially the toast, we used to visit nana's house and toast bread on the coal fire! x

Loved your story. Did you by any chance see Eden last night. About 23 people left to fend for themselves for a year in Scotland somewhere. They dont have a clue!!

I saw this and thought about the poor people in winter, they will freeze but what a fabulous experience x
