Nah, us Scots can drive in the snow, as there is so much of it, so much of the time, lol.

I have seen a satellite dish on a couple of flats around the bigger cities from time to time. ;-)

That's women for you gaz lol, have you got one of those tiling machines they save alot of time but you can't use them in doors because of the spray they kick up .ive got too fit my shower screen ohhhhh the joys of DIY,worst job was when the mains water pipe broke under the house,had to dig up the whole front garden,but instead of crawling under the floor boards I just cut the pipe outside the house and inserted a smaller one in the old one,and pushed it right up under the kitchen sink then ran it to the street and phoned the water board because the pavement and meter are their problem.

Ahhhhh get youreself one of those machines gaz lol,I've done my kitchen floor and bathroom and toilet with it saved alot of hassle.i need to do my bathroom and kitchen floor again as the tiles are cracked . I started off doing the kitchen floor using the old method but it was costing me in cement that's why I bought the machine ,most of the tiles won't need cutting if youre kitchen isint like my brothers he wanted a brick built breakfast bar in a semi circle,then after I laid the bricks for that he wanted a great big brick fireplace built with arches and lights lol.then last year he wanted a garage madness considering it isint his house but that's what he wanted him and Chelsea will never get that money back off his landlord lol no telling some people lol

Buy yourself a gardening kneeler pad Gaz, Gatos laughs at mine but I don't care

Tested my brakes properly today, some nutter coming round a sharp corner in the middle of the road. Always a relief when you get to check whether anything's going to fall off and it still works afterwards.
