We got 3 Discos, two kit cars, one Pluriel on our drive and an old Mini until recently, plus a Carisma Century int garage awaiting finishing as it is such a **** kit it needs massive work to make it look right and go right. We have no front garden and one neighbour hates the sight of all this so much theyhave erected a fence the other side of their drive next to our land! Oh, plus a fu ck off huge box trailer.
Wish I had a huge shed like @kevstar !

They all used to climb into a big basket and close the lid. Andy always had a smile on his face. Not sure what they got up to

Andy Pandy being a goody two shoes, Teddy was introduced as a naughty element. Lord knows what Loopy Lou was introduced for! i just know the song ended with "...all on a Saturday night". Which reminded me in later life of the song that starts with "Balls to your father, your rse against the wall, if you ain't been sh@gged on a Saturday night, you won't get sh@gged at all"

Just got back from the house.
We managed to fit all the tricky kitchen units and fix them solidly to the walls.
The quote for the bathroom tiling is in (£1k). (that will teach him to get all arty-farty with a huge shower-enclosure, double ended bath and a bum-gun beside the toilet and to go for 2' x 1' porcelain tiles).
The quote for the Worktop fitting is in (£280).
He has run out of money I think.
I am so tired.
Can't see an end to this still.

Tonight
Showery rain in the west, some heavy and thundery at times, will tend to push further east through the night. However, the south and east of England looks to remain dry with clear spells. Very windy.

Friday
Another very windy day for many. The north and west of the UK will continue to see showery rain through the day, some of which could be heavy. Meanwhile, southeastern areas will be drier and brighter.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday
On Saturday, the north and west will see showers or longer spells of rain, but the south-east should be drier and brighter. Winds easing but still windy for many. A few showers are expected for most on Sunday, these mainly in the north and west. There will be sunny spells too. Becoming cooler with northerly winds. Monday will see rain moving east across the country.
