So, two "steres" hum? How many months will that last you? and what do they charge? We last paid €50 per stere/cubic metre.
and do you get the same amount of wood if you have it in metre lengths as opposed to shorter lengths?
You don't in Frogland. :(
We twigged that and always get it in metre lengths and then I saw it up so it goes in our stove.
LOL 7x that price for 2 cubic metres. Kiln dried and all cut to c.10..12" :)
 
Yeah ...

  • Eid al-Adha
  • United Kingdom

  • Friday 6 June 2025

    On Eid al-Adha, Muslims commemorate Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail to Allah (God). Eid celebrations in the UK differ somewhat from those in predominantly Muslim countries.
Yes, I remember Abraham was going to sacrifice Isaac for his God. Same old parables/examples of daftness across the faiths.

We are looking after the G-kids because my son is away in LA on business.
Their Mother refused to have them because "its not my turn to have them" so we stepped up to facilitate.
Now guess what? She contacts my son to say she has missed her eldest (he's been away all week on a school trip) and would be happy to have the kids after all.
My view is that she had the opportunity to be nice and take this on at the outset "because they are my children" but she always wants to be the offended party and act like a prima-donna.
Well guess what, we don't like our lives being messed about by a narcissistic cow who expects everyone to dance to her tune.
My wife no longer cares, because she has enough on her plate right now but dislikes the manipulation and sheer awkwardness it causes, we have made up bedrooms, bought kid-food in etc. etc. I really boils my "P". :mad:

Tell her, she'll have to wait her turn now ...

There will come a time when the M-I-L is unwell enough to cause concern that you cannot have the G-kids over and then she will have to hold her end up ...
 
They live down in Southampton and have never had the children. They don't drive and they only have a 2 bed flat and that's not ideal anyway.

I have one Grandchild, she lives 25 miles away from me, i pick her up from school three days a week ...

Her other grandparents live in Yately, nr Farnham, Surrey they don't drive, but they do have her for a week of so during half term and the summer break ...
 
Morning All. :D
Wifey says she was awake ALL night and only dropped off at 07:30. Obs fretting over her Ma's further decline.
A bit of a dull day here. C'mon weather, it is midsummer's day in 15 days time, not ruddy October.
Ordered some wood for the Winter. 2 cubic metres of Oak from Kostapakit wood supplies.
Have a lovely day. :D
20 June is the summer solstice start of summer for 2025 ends 22 September
