Decided I'd finish the firewood storage down behind the shed this morning, before tackling any mowing or other jobs. Figured it'd be all done by lunch...
Two old extra-wide pallets, trimmed and tidied up.
Filled in gaps using old scrap boards that have been stacked away for ages. Had to rip them down to width first.
Scavenged some solid lengths of 6*2 to use as end frames from building site next door
Ransacked the stash of old bolts/washers/nuts to find suitable. Had to cut a few bolts down.
Much drilling and bolting up, including random wedge spacers to compensate for the warped bits
Bolted a couple of batten pieces to concrete block wall to stop the whole thing sliding away once loaded up
Cleaned up, downed tools just on 5pm.
It's massively over-engineered, but at least we now have plenty of space to start stacking all the random dead tree bits that keep falling over around the place.

Afternoon folks,
I'm happy to report i'm too young for discount Tuesday at Stevo's garden centre.
Another busy day in the orifice dealing with too much of the brown and sticky stuff, and I don't mean sticks. Just went to Greg's and fortified myself ready for tonight's ride with a steak bake and a couple of sausage rolls. Later will be the pub for some recovery drinks after the exertion, exertion being a relative term of course.
Shame you can't join us Seano, maybe next time. You need to get your new bike out more, but you have to be gentle with us. It's not a race, the standard excuse given by people that know they are going to lose.
Just had a delivery from CRC, that's going to live under my desk until tomorrow when I'm in the car.
Anywho, onwards and upwards...0 -

As an aside, I got bored, did a weights sesh and went and Veeted everything in the shower. Now back to toned eel.

Never got the call from the garage this pm with truck in for service, I phoned them 1/2h ahead of their closing time, enough for a quick pedal over to collect, went to answerphone. Annoying. Did ask them to look at couple of minor issues, maybe awaiting a part. But shirley a quick update call to their customer would be in order...?
I will find out in t'morning. But it disrupts what would have been one of my few remaining work work days. Sorry my client, can't make it.
A day of sorting through boxes of Stuff. Xxxx me, there's a lot to be got rid of, in progress. Freecycle posts a-plenty.0 -

V and I bailed due to "otter's pocket syndrome".
A leisure ride through standing water with squelching shoes and a squeaky de-lubed chain is no fun.
Seems like next Monday or Wednesday is the replay if we can tempt any other SW Londoners (if I understood V's message correctly).0 -
Oh, this is your rental perhaps? Just have the ex tenants flogged and keep the deposit?beansnikpoh said:

Exactly this, I singlehandedly stopped the rain by deployment of a boil in the bag waterproof. Lots of standing water to punish me for removing my mudguards at the weekend.beansnikpoh said:V and I bailed due to "otter's pocket syndrome".

Yes, Monday or Wednesday next week, Seano the raspberry can join our glacial paceline 😬
Is that PPP P? Set your former tenant alight and trebuchet them into the middle of next week.0 -
Good night in the boozer talking utter ballcocks with a few mates.1

I avoided the joint account thing. Sounds like a few on here would have been well advised to do the same..."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

when we first got together i was earning literally double than TDV. She now earns shedloads more than me.
it how it all works out - tbh, i'm pretty nonplussed about it - some blokes would get all male defensive about it - I'm a meh: so long as I have a hundred or do squids to fritter on bike bits a month and can grab a lunch/,pint here or there, I'm happy.
at the end of the day, its just money - theres far more important things to get stressy about..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

A joint account is usually a good way of making sure you don't have enough. If you've ever read the book 'Liars Poker' by Michael Lewis the principle was that your expenses will always rise to meet your income.

no - i'm saying that there are far more important things in a relationship to worry about rather than who earns whst/how.Stevo_666 said:

don't get lost in machobullshit about having to earn more.
of course having enough money to live is vital - that's bloodyobvious and goes without saying and shouldn't really need to be pointed out.

We have a joint account for joint household expenses; mortgage/school fees/food/power/water/insurances/car/petrol/broadband/kid's clothes etc. That's split proportionally according to our net pay. We get salary paid into our own accounts, pay the joint account, then whatever is left over in our own accounts is ours to fritter/squirrel away. Works pretty well for us. 10 years ago I was paying way more into the joint account, now she pays more.0

I'm not lost at all. In any event there's no competition in my house as Mrs. 666 hasn't done paid employment since 2001, despite me encouraging her to get a job from time to time. (More time working = less time moaning and stressing about stuff that's not very important).MattFalle said:

We do much the same, just run a joint account for the shared expenses, top it up when needed, and what we do otherwise with our money is not up for discussion much. Mind you, both retired, no mortgage and no debt makes that much easier. 😎Open One+ BMC TE29 Seven 622SL On One Scandal Cervelo RS1
