Thanks.

I happen to think my mam is very talented!

Made us these amazing bits for our garden... mind the grey hair and beard on my little character is BRUTAL ha ha.

I'm sure she could be tempted to make more if you wanted one :)

She doesn't do "time frames" though so you'd have to accept that. (She's in her 70s and has good days and bad days with mobility in her hands)

I've just read some of the biggest pile of sh*te I've ever read in my entire life on one of those "parent network" things.

I always think.. if one person is saying it, dozens more are thinking it,.. so I will address it here.

Its in relation to the arson attacks that ended my business a month ago.

The 3 people on this parent network were saying.. "its obviously him, he's done it himself, insurance etc".

Now then.. I actually don't know where to start refuting that.

Firstly, i was in the lake district with my wife when it happened.

Secondly, CCTV shows the arsonist as 5"8 maximum, im about 6"7.

So hopefully those 2 facts alone put to bed that I physically didn't do it.

2nd option is plausible, I guess, it paid somebody else to do it.

So ill mention that.

Firstly.. the van in whiteleas that was also attacked that night ISN'T mine.. I sold it about 9 months ago but the kid didn't remove my phone number.

Therefore obviously i get no insurance money from that van.

Financial aspect, I guess the only reason anyone does an insurance "job".

I eventually got £2700 from Admiral insurance.

After the arson, I spent nearly £1000 on a hire van to cover work already booked the following 2 weeks.

"If" i had done this, im a f***ing idiot.

I could EASILY have sold that van for way more than £2700.

If anyone knows vans and valuation, feel free to check.. 10 plate luton, full MOT, clean, dry box, 225,000 miles. £1500 replacement engine of 95,000 fitted 4 months ago.

But no, ill set f*re to it, and the one i dont own, remove the only method i have of earning money.. in the hope of getting £1000 less than the van was worth..

The gofundme page set up.

Absolutely, utterly amazing... however hopefully obviously, i couldn't have predicted that being set up and people's generosity.

As i say.. hopefully everyone can see how absolutely ludicrous the notion I've done this myself is.

Thanks, Dave

Anyone remember covid, the clandestine, street corner deals for paint and wallpaper etc, ha ha.

Well... apparently the north east has run out of these little fellas, if anyone has any in the garage, ill happily buy them.

They are the roof pins for wickes mini-corrugated sheets.

Many thanks.

Love this!

None of them made it professional, to my knowledge.

The discovery of steak bakes and alcohol may have been a factor haha.

Can you spot your young'un?
