    More like a short wave set mounted in the back of one of two Land Rovers really. The other is in case of breakdowns. :p
    Or attacks by the wild rabbits who seem to like pooping on the drive. :eek:
    We have to plan getting the post carefully. :eek:

    I'd delete that bit about two Land Rovers if I were you, before you-know-who sees it, otherwise she'll go into posh alert overdrive! :rotfl:

    They were figurative Land Rovers, and I'd just upgraded them to (even more imaginary) Stollys, because the 6 wheel drive gets through the rabbit poop better, and the run flat tyres are better if the rabbits attack. :eek:

    I want sweets... but I'm leaving my door open as long as I can to make double-sure the paint's entirely dry and doesn't stick to the frame. It's been done/open 8 hours so far.... so "should be safe" ... but still loathe to close the door to run off to buy sweeties.

    It's little things like this where couples win ... "... you stay here with the door open and I'll go get sweets"

    Either Lidl's 65p fruit pastilles .... or a 59p bag of choc covered peanuts.

    "Top of the range" for me is £1 chocolate mis-shapes from £land or Home Bargains :)

    You ain't seen how much there is! :eek:
    The run flat tyres are in case the rabbits run up and bite them! :eek:

    They dig holes as well. I think they might be observation positions! :rotfl:

    Belgian chocolates! How parochial. Sniff.

    Posh sweets are made in the Himalayas using milk from the Dalai Lama's own yaks, hand crafted by Tibetan monks, and decorated with crystallised petals from the very rare Himalayan rose, which only flowers for one month a year.

    They sound pretty posh, but it's still warm here, they'd melt before I got 'em down the drive! :p
