I think when it comes to sweets, it is a case of self first, self last and anything left is self again.Yer but no but eye was thinking of offering them ter the loader, not the driver.
I am eventually trying to chuck out a variety of accumulated junk!
Amongst this is an OLD Acer Travelmate 272XC laptop with Windows XP pro software. Compare to the new ones, this is quite robust and certainly not as lightweight - it is twice the depth of them! The AC connector and lead is there, as is a mouse although it is the usual touch controls on the laptop. Also, the wi-fi connection is via a separate Netgear dongle. Embarrassingly, it has had very, very little use - probably as a result of me having been provided with one through my work!!!!
I just thought I would ask before ditching it as someone might be sufficiently creative to find a use for it.

Av bin unda cowtin. Av dun 80% of six flower buds un all of won. They dries ernuff ter dowit ergen. It be windy un sum felld ova. Eye be appi wiv ow it went. Eye will unda cowt the left ova bit morra. Then gloss em. Eye be finkin ov doing the rear and sides, then glossin the front when it be all screwd tergeffa, afta eye av filled the oles ter hide me screws.
Update 5th June 2020:
Today was another "full-On" day. We were beset by changeable weather that was at times blowing a gale and lashing with rain and other times short periods of warming sunshine.
We made it a priority to get the roof board on in one non-raining spell and then we threw the EPDM rubber roof covering over the top and batten fixed the overhang at the sides so that the gusts could not lift it off and send it sailing away. In the rainy spells we put the flooring down inside the shed and I was delighted that it went exactly as planned with minimal need for any cutting or fiddly fitting of the 4' x 8' sheets of OSB board.
Late in the afternoon (c.5PM) a bright spell that looked like it would last for more than 5 minutes occurred and we raced to fully affix (latex cement and edging trims) all of the rubber roofing.
It was done before the rain returned and that was close of business for today at 19:15.
Tomorrow we will fit the last 4 feather-edge boards under the eaves of the roofing and close all the gaps, and line the walls inside with the plywood sheeting.
Another exhausting day but I am pleased with the progress.

Keeping up with my young workmate is very exhausting, he is just an animal where work and "get it done" is concerned.
