Mr Monkey. Your talking of the hours you worked reminded me of our scenario in the 80's. Other half worked nights I did days, we were like pies that passed in the night for a good few years not ideal by any means and housing then was just a bigger issue.

Moving to sunny Accrington we got a semi derelict house to do up together fitting our own windows doors etc etc only thing I got someone in for was plumbing, oh and a little help from our friends God bless them. This home is our final one but its not that that's priceless its the being together doing it, the stupid things that happened and my legendary floor board party's complete with bags of sand and cement to sit on ready for the next job. Good times really and it would have never crossed our minds we were struggling back then. Sorry about my nostalgia trip..

We have a few friends who have sold up the bricks and moved into new or second owner statics being smaller to maintain. They have a good social life and being older that can only be a good thing as so many see so few people these days. Not sure a static would appeal to a younger generation tho.

E suns out again!
