Every time you use one of her tools or look at her paintings you will remember her, that's a damn site more than any house clearer will do, and it's not like you didn't have permission. I put dibs on next door's wheelbarrow when he died (also felt a bit awful doing it) but the wheelbarrow is called John and we think of him every time we use it. A fine wheelbarrow it is too.Dibs on Veggies matteress!
No guilt required.
I nned an influx of funds as the snow and ice on the roof has just brought down all the guttering with a hell of a crash!

You're welcome to my mattress, Vinnie..............as long as you buy me a new one to replace it!
Sorry about your guttering - hope it didn't damage anything when it came down.

The original alumiium guttering took the cast iron 'stench' pipe with it after another heavy snow fall and thaw. The scrap men got to it before I did as I was living 30 mile away at the time!

I replaced the stenchpipe with plastic and stoppd it short of the guttering. I checked out the cost of replacement and it was a lot cheaper for me to buy some extension ladders and do it myself! The plastic brackets were all sheared off with the weight of ice on the guttering so I will need to find stronger replacements for them and do my Fred Dibner impression when the weatheris better! The plastic guttering is fine, just instead of lying under edge of slates, its now lying on the path below!

Its been a good IN day and its only lunchtime.
OUT went the Breville blender thing I picked up the other day and the collector left me a bag of Quality Street chocolates as a Thank you.
From OLIO I've collected 4 x 100g packs of smoked salmon (for me) and 3 x packs of lamb's kidneys for the dogs.
