      And as quick as it began, it has been 30 days and my time is up….

      I want to thank @Megatron1505 for "forgetting" that these were in circulation so they could land in my lap for one of the last legs of the tour.

      Also, I will not be sending chocolate back with these as I worry about them getting hung up at International customs.

      However Gavin, when you receive them check the watch pocket there's something in there for you.

      lastly @Giles, no one in MN carries your brand. What is the best method to change that? the best bet would be BlackBlue https://www.blkblu.com/ followed by Martin Patrick3 https://www.martinpatrick3.com/

          Thank you.  We'll reach out to BlackBlue.  We find that IH does not (well historically, has not) work well in a retailer that stocks stuff other than clothing, of clothing related product.

          EDIT.  Alex has reached out to them twice over the last few months they have not responded.  Shame looks like a good fit, but you can take a horse to water, but…......

            And they’re back, three days until the house move and then begins the final leg of the tour as I bore you all with photos of decorating and DIY. Get ready lots of pictures of step ladders and paint, it’s going to be WILD!!!

                True, it’s like bungee jumping from the Petronius Towers after consuming two bottles of vodka, strapped to a baby elephant. We live hard here man  😎

                  Apologies for slacking with the posts since the jeans were returned to me, moving house has been both hectic and time consuming. Anyway, I’ll start at the beginning…..

                  Last week we moved from a modest, 1939 built, two bedroomed semi-detached house, on a nice street in a rough part of town to a large three bedroomed semi-detached house in the nicest part of town. The house we left had been our family home for 17 years, it was the first house that Pam and I bought together, where we lived when we got married, and the first home that our boy Tommy had ever known, however the area it is in has never been great and recently it has become much worse.

                  So we decided to move, and fortunately for us we managed to find a house in my favourite part of town which was being sold by the family of a very elderly couple on their behalf after they moved to a much smaller property near their family. The upside to this for us is that we managed to buy a relatively large property in the best part of town for a great price, the downside being that the property needs a hell of a lot of cosmetic, and some structural work carrying out before we’ll be fully happy with our new home. However, money definitely is an object so we’ll be doing what we can, when we can.

                  So we moved in here last Tuesday………

                  Here are a few “before” pictures, so you can see what we’re working with here……

                    The day after we moved in, we set to work on the largest room of the house, which will eventually be Tommy’s bedroom/ games room/ cinema/ crib….

                    Here’s the mid point of the “master” suite renovations…..

                            Some lovely features in that house. Both the fireplaces are gorgeous as are the built in closets. Loving the facade too. Good stuff.

                                        So next is the living room, here’s some before pictures to show you what we’re working with…...

                                        Apologies that I don’t have any “in process” pictures for this room, we had to get it decorated in literally 2 days due to an early furniture delivery. The dark green was a bitch to cover, the walls we’re not great and with no time re-plaster we had to go with lining paper for now, this is the result so far…...

                                        We still have an original 1930’s fireplace to be fitted in this room, and we’re considering some “art” for the walls.
