    What I did this week was help my daughter rip out and rearrange her IKEA kitchen. We HATED it. The Males in the family thought we were crazy and didn’t want any part of it. So we did it ourselves. When I saw her face as she realized we could achieve our idea and that we had measured correctly was priceless to me. Now that being said… we had wrong tools and every screw was the wrong one and in crooked .. she got them all out. We saw our life flash before our eyes once when we under estimated a cabinet weight and size but we DID it. We didn’t break anything or damage anything. So we are very proud of ourselves. It’s not perfect but it’s livable and the bit that’s not perfect is an easy fix. We stood and just smiled at each other and marveled at the light it brought into the kitchen and the room we gained. We were validated with the results. The males refuse to go look or ask questions. But we Smashed it. ❤

    The most interesting thing I did this week was sorting out permission for 8 veterans to sleep out in Bivvies on the 23rd March for charity on Council land, the amount of paperwork for us to sleep rough for one night was amazing

      Congratulations on your early retirement I did the same when I was 47 years old although mine was through ill health and I still don’t know how I had time to go to work as I have a full tire from the day I finished work. The one one thing I will say is you’ve truly earned yourself some rest and recuperation

    Top tip Dave…for a smoother curve to follow on the revised edging stones, you may found a garden hose under pressure better at providing a smoother curve as opposed to the string on spikes….obviously still need the string foor the levels.

    The most interesting I did was look for a sapphire bracelet to match my engagement ring for our 45th Wedding annversary on st Patricks day 17th March. The budget was £200 but could go to £400 at a push. I wanted an old fashioned setting, with more sapphires and only tiny diamonds. Well the price of gold has gone up, most geninue gold sapphire bracelets were over 1000 quid! There is a secondhand jewelry shop, I found my bracelet for £299. Hubby was happy.

    A question guys regarding the drop crossing you had the inspector out.How comes under streetworks you dont use pathway closed signs and form a safe pathway along the road side for pedestrians with plastic road barriers.With midbeds council we have to barrier off all the works around pathway and create safe walking and not allowed to use just bollards to demarc working area if that makes sense.Do you display a permit board with permit number and company contact details on.Thanks.
