Same here now. She's up and dressed, just a matter of time.

My wife is up (at 10.30am) and wandering around in her dressing gown ... we have nowhere to go, so I guess she won't bother getting dressed today.

I will feed the birds and vermin, get me out in the fresh air for......5 mins.

Clear blue sky here..... Temp ....about 4c.

I took a walk to Tesco, glad i walked or I would still be in the queue to get into the car park, and out again.  

Bah Humbug!.

None of the parts were labeled on mine either so that made things interesting.  To be fair Lifetime have a load of 'how to' videos on Youtube which I would have struggled without.  Oh and the screws and bolts were on a blister pack so that helped a lot to.  

Mine took 2 days to assemble, mostly by trial and error.

Finished my shed.   Just got to anchor it down this afternoon then order some shelves.    Pretty pleased with it to be honest.  Fiddly bastard to put up but got there in the end.    The base is perfectly level, I would imagine there would be no chance of putting it together if the base was uneven.  Laughed when it was delivered as the guy that brought it said “Make sure you keep the boxes mate they won’t take it back if you don’t”.   Got the feeling that many have been sent back in frustration

Took me 8 hours to put it up.  Much quicker and cheaper than building my own.   Would have preferred to do that really but just don’t have the time or energy if I am honest.   

My Yardmaster shed was a bastid to assemble, each panel and strengthening supports were individually numbered........ with stupid long numbers.....the panels were all numbered with a A , but the numbers did not follow, Panel A216 connects to Panel A 412 (for example. Panel 1 to 2 to 3 would have made it simpler.

They had good jobs, they were the backbone of industry in this country.  Her legacy is a country full of chavs , influencers and you tube wankers 

It was not just the mine workers who lost out, many firms that serviced the mining industry  (Davis of Derby...Dosco....Dowty.... Hollybank, to name but a few) just disappeared when the mines were closed.

I’m going to run with the crowd as well and nominate @XTreme I miss the old fucker as well.  .   And Clive get yourself a project when the scoot sells, you were talking about doing that the other day.   Even if you don’t get a project don’t go, I’ve gotten used to you being around now. 

Project!... .....the last one almost cost me my sanity!.

After I posted about your scrap bike, I thought I must be mad to consider one.

Now is the time to submit your nomination for MOTY!

This is not the vote, just the nominations. ......this thread will close late on Friday 20th December 8PM and the Poll will then be open. That will run until Xmas Eve 9PM UK time.

This generally isn’t open to admins but I think you should be able to nominate the gimp so the only person who isn’t eligible is me.

All you need to do is submit your nomination for whoever you think has contributed the most value to the forum in terms of their presence here over the last year. And also state why you think they deserve the award.

You have one nomination only, but you can change it prior to this thread closing.

Previous winners were Bruce in 2020, Slowlycatchymonkey in 2021, boboneleg in 2022 and Clive in 2023

Will Clive retain it this year? That's up to you!

I’m going to nominate @Saul for all the work he has put in to getting Shadow onto two wheels and the contributions he has made to ride reports as well as the way he has saved the dolphins by not buying hair products. (Or is there another reason he doesn’t buy shampoo?)

Me not a chance!....

I have not had much input on the forum this year, can't see it altering next year, and if the scoot sells, I will leave, but not a flounce this time just Byeeee

@Buckster..... @boboneleg & @Pedro.....

Just the usual here.
