Okay will try another few garages, but just don’t know what else is likely to wrong and don’t want to keep flogging a dead car. Thanks for info.

I work with his father, but have no further comment

Both myself and SO now live within 6 miles of our respective family homes. In a rather small hamlet near Royal Tunbridge Wells, eldest goes to local primary and now talks like he has swallowed several plums, daughter goes to nursery at the castle and is developing much the same way. SO definatley posh, but not as much as her granny, and my acsent seems to change depending who I am with, posh or very much not.

£168 for family of four, peak membership. Pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, big gym, 4 studios for classes, childrens outdoor play area, creche, 18 hole golf course. I like it and more importantly SO uses it alot so value for money.

My neighbour edited Dinosaus on a spaceship, and i think he said next weeks angels episode.
He did say the dino one was for the kids but they do get better.

I posted 59.56 for a 100m freestyle and 4.47 for 400m freestyle, and I was an average club swimmer. Now I coach at my old club 3 times a week and take the dry training sessions. Will post up more later, got kids to bath now..

Well if you want to loose it, point it in my direction as I need to put a stone on, for my channel swimm in September. I am failing to put weight on, as on a SEE FOOD AND EAT IT diet, but still training and buring it all off.

My first car was a vw beetle bought for 1500 quid spent about 3000 on it over five years, lowered big engine roof chop, respray. Spun that plenty of times in the rain rear wheel drive 1.6 and 1.8 litre engine, even managed it up hill. now have a very middle aged ford c-max which costs me over 1200 to insure but then I keep crashing cars so what should I expect. Latest is flood damage puddle was a lot deeper than i thought. Buy the car you can regret it either way, not buying it , or buying it and it breaks you and the bank.

19 days and I am the junior one

You really need to take me paddling, where are you based, still holding my own in Div 2.

The yield is 7-10% of investment

My Broinlaw invests, my pension, other family members, old business collegues. He is super anal, and has only ever passed his exmas first time. So i would be happy giving him my money. I also used to work for him for about 6 months, the bro inlaw is not really the issue.
Its more living with the MONSTER in law, i guess staying as seperate as possible and trying to save like mad. Just better get sky multi room installed first.

We would still pay for share of Gas, lecky, water, food, but would save on council tax and morgage payments, house insurance contents.
But would have to think about renting after the year if nothing was on the market we liked.

I will be swimming in the sea this weekend with only me speedo’s,cap and goggles for company. Start of the new Channel swimming season training is upon us. 2 relay attempts this year.

Kids love going to grannies, and she easy to get on with did 3 months when we had the extension. But that was temporary, what if we dont find a house or they fall through could be there for years. That is my main worry.

Thank you everyone Kermit is ordered, just wonder how long they take to deliver…

Hi Spikey thanks very much

Try Chislehurst caves interesting and a little different not to far out of town.

free lander 53 plate diesel hse 100k on the clock
Ford CMax 54 plate diesel TDCI 2.0 60k on the clock
VW Corrado Storm in green 98k on the clock,
CMAx and Corrado on 6 month rotation

Could do with swapping the freelander, for a Defender 90

If we are getting one ups, I know someone who did it straight through in singles, just to prove it could be done.
My club has won the team entry in the K2’s before so I think I could speak with some authority on this subject.

Thanks everyone just used sharepod worked perfectly thanks

I have been paddling for the last 20 years at a very high level and I would not take this race lightly. My boat only weighs 7.5kg and by the time you get to portage 67 it wont feel that light anymore trust me. Can also help with club if southeast based.

If you go abroad alot you can get an app from utility warehouse, which uses wifi i think and charges only home rates, costs £2 a month but best to look at website

The brick
The aerial looks interesting, and the cables conecting to the aerial are coroded at the point of contact. So think it all really needs replacing and directing correctly, just don’t want to become another Rod Hull…..
I quite like the idea of getting the extra cables and running freesat through my olde sky+ box, and getting a HD box for down stairs, I do watch Sky 1, 2 quite a bit and the kids have their package.
The SO just wants to watch tele in bed occasionally, which she cant do at the moment.
Think I will ring independant sky installer and see if oliverd1981 option will work.
Thanks STW

I’ve just had all four wisdom teeth out yesterday, so not eating much really. The pain is quite unpleasant.

I can offer you some part time work, go to
http://www.telecomplus.org.uk/minimalizebills and click on earn with us at the bottom of the page. Any questions please ask, its not an instant earner but has massive potential, from which you get a residual income.

Pay £126 joint membership a month, including kids at a health and country club, does’nt include the golf though. Massive gym, 20m pool, sauna, steam room, jaccuzi, more classes to shake a stick at, 2 bars childrens play area outside, wii, xbox area, creche ( which the wife loves £3.50ph)has been a godsend. Been members for about 10 years now, probably use it 2-3 times a week the misses goes every day, so think we get value for money. Open 6am til 10.30 most days.

Sorry to jump on the wagon, I’ve just been offered a 54 plate C-Max 2.0 tdci with 58k from my bro-inlaw for £1800 with fsh, tax and MOT til May 12. Its a bit scratched and got a few small dents, I need a winter car, so I can garage the Corrado Storm over the winter. Does this seem like a good deal?

Just sitting here eating mash potato from, french and runner beans from the veg patch for supper.
Had plum crumble, rhubarb crumble, black berries and apples to come.
Raspberies, strawberries and blueberries.
spinach (bolted a bit)
pak choi (sort of)
courgettes crap
Cucumber excellent
spring onion still going strong (in old tin bath)
Broad, french, runner, dwarf beans
Potatoes going really well few rows left
leaks
sweetcorn
Pumpkin
peas (second batch)
chard
Artichoke
Think thats it, oh still waiting for tomato plants to red up.

If you ever get stuck in an avalanche, the best way to get out is to dribble what ever way the dribble goes, dig the other way to get out. FACT

House was built in 1856, so not sure really don’t think they did foundations back then just built a big pad and kept going up.

Hi bullheart Chiddingstone, got plenty of equity to do the work.

Hi near tunbridge Wells, will be looking at getting some quotes in soon.

Hmmmm thanks erine but I’m mid terrace think the neighbours might notice if I dig under their house. Oh and dont have an existing cellar either.

Loft done, had to fight to get 2m sq extension single storey as it was, with letters of consent from neighbours one even offered to submit planning appliction for his house if it would help me.
Rural conservation area in Kent.

No realy cant move, lots of equity thinking 75k to do all in#

+1 I love my VR6 Corrado

I too have great neighbours, terrace of 6 houses, couple on the end great retired just so still very active,share an allotment with them. Other side guy works away in Cardiff on some TV program thats just started a new series Dr ‘something’ can’t remmeber, his misses great always bringing food round, as just her most of the time and loves cooking. Next Evil satan lady with her hounds from hell, sprays Jays fluid everywhere to cover up smell of Dog piss, permiates the house if you leave any window open at the front ( could devote whole post to her), next guy only comes down at weekends, gave kids easter eggs, cant be all that bad. Spinster at the end, walk her dog, and do a bit of gardening for her when I can.
So 1 out 5 not bad I guess.

Wait till you’ve exchanged, I can sort you out your gas, electricity, phone, broadband and home phone so it comes on one bill. With a price promise and 10% of your bill in the first year, oh and I can do really good deals on mobiles too.
Drop me a line if you want to know more.

Can’t remember why but after a heavy session at uni decided it would be a good idea to jump of Kingston bridge into the thames at about 3am, as dare, on the way back to halls. Suprisingly shallow I remember thinking as my feet touched the silty mud on the river bed, who knows what could have been under the water, luckily I popped back up to the surface. Beckoning my friend to follow me which he duly did. both surviving another day. Scary thinking back on it now though.
