What are you all up to

Bits and Pieces day today. We needed some stuff from Lakeland and Rymans, both found locally in Chester. After dropping MIL off in local town for her coffee morning with a friend we drove to Chester, where I was surprised, but delighted, to find multiple free 1 hour car parkjng spaces. We did what we had to do but noticed Mountain Warehouse had a huge sale going on and Mrs WN needs a new coat so whilst she reviewed the goods I moved the car to another free 1 hour spot. It is the week before Christmas isn't it? Anyway we saved a further £10 on the coat using our CMC card.

Then off to HobbyCraft and Halfords just out of town followed by B&Q before finally wending our way home in the rain. Didn't get everything but did get things unplanned for!

Back home and the plumber was able to turn up a day early to look at our leaking shower. Made emergency repairs and relieved us of some hard earned cash, but Wow, a plumber who turns up early. As Mrs WN said "He's a keeper". I hope she was just admiring his work ethos.

 Latest news is that the Iveco Main Dealer cant take the vehicl in till Jan' 2nd !! SO,,,that's the I.o.W out  !! Don't like to stay in B&B or hotels ,,that's why i have a M/home.All my familiar bits & bobs with me .In my own space ,in my own time  !! .That's the beauty of a M/home .SO,,,despondent,disappointed,disillusioned,depressed,bored ,etc etc !!!  .

Bad news Triky. 

Best buy a Radio Times then. Good luck.

Well that's a bit of a what's it Pete, know what you mean about having your own things around you in the van...

I would love to have a few days off B2, but I have TWO women to keep happy these days!

OH has a list, but is allowing DD to get her stuff done first as they need to get organised for Christmas.  Only  essential stuff is being  done here meantime, and probably until March.

I cannot see DD’s house being totally finished for many months yet.

She returns to work in February, so we are trying to get as much as possible done for her before then as she really needs to be there to make the design decisions.

Today she started the wallpapering in their bedroom, but it is not going too well, so I think I will need to help her tomorrow.  Meantime  I have started the tiling in their en suite bathroom so we can get their towel radiator connected.

Everything has to be done in the correct order for it all to work.

Unfortunately SIL is not into DIY, so DD has to do all that sort of stuff.

Not so good Tricky, but hopefully they will have all the parts ready and waiting when you take the M/H in. Just think of all the joy you can now have posting responses on here for the next two weeks. Have a Happy Christmas and all the best for the New Year.

Took out a bit of an insurance policy today, purchased two bags of Rock Salt just in case the weather turns nasty anytime soon! £4.50 a bag in Homebase if anyone wants to do the same.

No Homebase here, ours closed last week.

But we do have help yourself grit bins in the village. 

Not  Really,  Huskypup,  I  did  say  "PERHAPS"  

It  might  be  just  a  lemon  in  your  sock  or  something  much  much  better  than  I  said  earlier  ( BUT  the  'tummy  Rub  is  non - negotiable   )

Brue

Ours has changed from the original Homebase to a Bennings and now back to a Homebase. I think a lot of them are closing don't know about ours. Our Council were discussing whether to remove grit bins to save some small amount of money in the scheme of things but after last winter I think they may have changed their minds.
