Sorry Julian I meant £500 to take it away :-) :-)
I’m in Morocco on holiday and Rotterdam when I return but I’ll fly back for the party.
I never got to go in the pool.
On a separate note the edge paving still looks good. I bored my wife last night explaining how I hand shaped them. She was really not interested.
Is Derek still with you?
I'll give you £500 to take it away! smile

I trust you are flying Yorkshire Airlines!!!

Yes, Derek will always be with me. You must cone round for a break, you certainly deserve it!

There is always a room here for you mate, whenever you like. You are also right, you never went in the pool.

We need to change this!!! beer

I need to get my trunks patched up in that case wink
Budgie smugglers for everyone surely?
Think I'll leave the smugglers at home, but will turn up with cake and beer - hopefully that sounds much more acceptable!

Party?
Oh yeah....
I must’ve contributed to the thread somewhere in the gazillion pages as it’s just appeared on My Stuff ( think I had a different name back then...)

And I do believe I’m only a few miles down the road biggrin

It's raining sideways here in Notts this morning. Doubt the guys will make any progress today. The pool might fill up though.


Just contributing so I get an invite!

Top work, love these build threads.
Clearly I saw into the future! Do I have to wear the rain mac? hehe

I recall in the early days of this thread that the water was to be heated to bath type temperature. That solves the problem of all of you worrying what to wear. Shirley.

We still have it at 36 degrees in winter, but in summer it goes down to 30 degrees to be a bit more refreshing.

When we had the really hot weather last week we turned the heating off and then had to keep the cover open as still hit 32 degrees!

Ha! Enjoy! biggrin

I'm doing the same, floating about on a huge turtle in my pool. Yeah, boggles the mind that image.
