Next VV meet at yours I think.... the garden is more than big enough to accommodate a few tents Could you hire a porta loo or two?

Behind the nearest tree????

Ossie, are you pleased with the outcome of the decorations?

Yes we are. Some of the rooms were receiving their first repaint in 15 years ....
Nothing exotic - all woodwork, doors, ceilings and rads brilliant white, kitchen and utility brilliant white, everything else magnolia!
I think I recall the hourly rate you (it was you, wasn't it, Meriad?) were going to be charged, and our guy charged double that.
But it's been done to a very good standard.

We might disturb the sheep!

I'm pleased Admittedly I'm not much further with mine. One of the reasons he is as 'reasonable' as he is, is because I'm happy to fit in between his normal bigger jobs; so I'm filling a gap for him really. But turns out that he doesn't have all that many gaps and is actually quite busy. So so far we've done the bedroom only and hopefully next weekend he'll do the bathroom.

I then am going to struggle a bit with money so in the hope that we get our bonus - once I have that I'm going to offer him his usual rate and ask that he finishes it all off in one go

Fingers crossed


And Ton - glad you're asking where to put the Port 'a Loo - does that mean it's a yes?

Of course

And sheep? Not until the winter, so no worries about them.

Seriously - if any of you fancy a breakette, let me know, you're more than welcome.

The upside is meeting Grumpy

Well, he is less Grumpy at the moment - how long that will last...................

Wouldn't that be fab?

Tree, porta loo, I'm easy.

Grumps and I have already bagged the loungers, with Ton as head waitress, bringing us Pimm's No 6 as and when ...

I'll just be floating in the pool, cocktail in hand

Bottle of Sagres, that's what you'll get.

That or some rot gut or other, madrona, figo or aguadent - all evil
