Hi Andy,

Tut tut stealing your daughters paint...what next? Holding her favourite toy to ransom for a paintbrush?

Am liking the boat, It's very different to how it started....when's the naming ceremony?

I think he should replace her paints.

 

[frame69]

I bought them in the first place and she has enough c**p in her room to keep a car boot sale going for an hour or two.My boy is quite organised compared to her but I was told that girls can be untidy and scatty (Im gonna burn in hell for that one)
But in her defence she is very artistic and idealistic so I would'nt want her to waste her time worrying about her room.

I'm loving the boat and crane. I remember seeing the boat a while ago just after you bought it. Awesome transformation

We don't often have guests here. But when we do they usually kip on the sofa or on a campbed in the living room. We do have a spare room available but most people won't sleep in here because of all the snakes and tarantulas etc

[frame69]

They look a bit 'war time' to be honest Nick but thanks. I've built them and are ready for spraying I think..

...just as I packed my tools away and on route to the pub I heard the sound of an old transit an hurried back to find some pikey's about to strip the scrap metal from them...

...didnt see any 'dags' though.

[upnick]

Have you not seen 'Snatch'? Brad Pitt plays a great part. I spent a lot of time with pikeys when I was a lad,good fun it was to.
