  1. Yourewelcome to live in my bus for free if/while you fix it! It's an idyllic setting. Slider opens on to veg patch so you can lean out and pick rhubarb blueberries leeks tomatos and beans for your tea! And an endless supply of daily papers.

    sounds idyllic :)
     
  3. I am really struggling with time on this, when I do get out to try and do a bit I spend most of the time trying to work out what im going to do and so get very little actual work done. So ive been down to "cashforgold" and "Wonga for your conger" to raise some funds (oh yeah and doing a shed load more shifts at work) so that I can call in ......The A Team......one of thems coming over tomorrow to get me going. Not sure which ones coming but by the end of the day I might have a sporty red stripe on my van
