This sounds good. Dont suppose you know if you can get a cheaper contract and pay a bit more for the serenata? i.e £30 a month contract and £? for phone?

Brilliant, as usual. Followed by watching the first ever Live Later With Jools Holland, followed by booking two tickets to see The Verve at The Eden Project in June. What a great evening.

Another great draw, even though i didnt win anything. Ive just gone and renewed my gold membership, so im in for another 12 draws. Congratulations to all the winners.

the excitement just caused my BT Broadband to go down for 2 minutes. I had a real panic on then. But back now...........

Sorry im late gang. Been DIYing and forgot all about the draw. Good evening PDB.

Ryan: I am learning lots of great new terms in here: chippy, sparky, etc. And it's interesting to see how differently houses are built in the UK as compared to canada. Mark, what is the age of your house? built around 1935-1936

Jandyt: Looking good mark. What's going in the fireplace? Andy T. Ah, the fireplace....... i was hoping nobody would ask me that. Idealy we would like a contemporary multi-fuel burning stove sat on slate tiled hearth, but due to being skint and the cost of £1000 its something that will have to wait so i will probably make the hearth with some

Wogga, Andy is a very good plasterer (i know loads) and Darren my sparky is also very good (even though i done all the hard work). I am a plumber so know loads of every trade there is. You can see by this photo how good the plastering is.

So as you can see, the system is once again wired up and working, the TV will have to come out of the room again, for me to do the flooring at the end of next week. but the 9000 is staying exactly where it is forever, as if you have ever tried connecting up the hidden cables on a horizontally mounted system you will now how hard it is. To be continued

I didnt get any photos of me painting, but the Sunday 'just gone', i got up early and started to paint. Firstly on a freshly plastered surface your fist coat wants to be a watered down coat of emulsion, this will dry fairly quickly, so once i had done that off i went to B&Q to buy the paint that SWMBO had spent weeks contemplating over.
