Where is a man when you need one!

I'm pretty self sufficient when it comes to DIY but assembling a bike has absolutely stumped me. As usual the instructions it came with were useless! It shows you all the maintenance side of things but ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT PUTTING THE BLOODY THING UP! Even though it's taken all night I've about done it apart from the front brake which really isn't doing as it's told! So only got my sons bike to fix the puncture on then we can try to do without using buses and taxis and asda home delivery for my shopping!

We spent the day at our friends house today the boys spent half of it taking apart a kids 12 volt car with big plans to customise it with lowered suspension and the lot....too much top gear! She mentioned she had a sofa to take to the tip....until i noticed it was in really good condition and comfy so it's been saved from a life in the landfill need to sort out some better blankets as throws but it's the perfect size!

Change of direction

Nearly a year since my last post! A lot has changed in that time and so has the focus. Hubby is back in the army so i'm home alone most of the time now. My son is no longer at school but being home educated due to his aspergers syndrome diagnosis. I have recently had to give up my full time job and go self employed so difficult times ahead! Lots of cutting costs lots of work and a total change of lifestyle! In the process of decluttering the home and working out finances. The big task of starting the garden to make it provide for us is next and my is that going to be a huge task!
