I look forward to next weekend when we can stand back and admire the craftsmanship, fresh decoration and increased storage space...   happy088

I do not wish to p*ss on your chips as the saying goes but you seem to have forgotten that just as nature abhors a vacuum tat will fill your new storage space before the paint is dry and within weeks you will be wondering where to create more space.
We have, over twenty years, progressed from a one room bedsit (Kitchen, bed, dining table and two arm chairs and shower all within the one room to a four double bedroom, three reception room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, internal log store and separate boiler room, detached house with 30 foot garage and large wooden shed. We still have no space to put anything. I have no idea where it has all come from but it is stacked on the stairs, hidden under beds, behind sofas, piled in corners.  noooo:

Sod's Law says I'll have a VAT inspection next and they'll want to know why I claimed for a Fish 'n' Chip Supper in the Autumn of 2002  ::)

I diverted her to a most spectacular junk emporium (mainly old pub and hotel fittings) where she lost track of time.We then went to the edge of the Mersey and watched huge ships entering the Manchester SHip Canal. She then fell asleep  cloud9:
