for the price of a skip...

how is it possible that such a little cottage, and such small renovation dreams can create so much rubbish! There are occasions when only a skip will do - but they cost an absolute fortune, get filled really quickly, and worse of all the contents get tipped into the local landfill - and that's not a legacy we want when the house is finished. So, we have become rather clever, cheeky even. 

We have sacrificed the cleanliness and suspension (and probably future road-worthiness) of the husbands darling golf and turned it into a mobile rubbish remover... The local tip is fantastic, they have a great recycling thing going on - and we are actually quite friendly with them now - did you know you can recycle mdf?!

just what the doctor ordered...

the good doctor ordered some fun... and it came in the form of snow! again! that's twice in one year we have been snowed in, and all work has ceased and we've put on as many clothes as is reasonable and headed to the hills... well, the golf course actually. There is nothing quite as much fun as dogs eating snow...
