h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

In my ears for a change - had my ears both pierced today

Also bought a large, purple, floppy hat as one does and then phoned council to find out why they'd not collected the doors I'd arranged, and paid of them to collect... - they'd got the dat ewrong/given me the wrong date

Collecting The Doors? What are you, the second coming of Jim Morrison?

My friend had his ears pierced years ago. As a positive side effect he gave up smoking

haa! - I quit smoking oo... last Febuary I think

The doors, are the two internal doors from the front room, I took down in the middle of the night when I wasn't sleeping, one day back last week -

There is a masterplan for the new front room, and design of the floor of the house

living without boundrys, no containment = no doors positive clean lines, sleek smooth pure real wood (beech or oak) floor, flowing, through the utility room, through the kitchen, through the doorless gap, into the front room, and on, and out, through the doorless gap and onto the middle landing getting rid of the doors now made sense to just get things underway; still need to find kitchen/tuility room fitter, and painter decorator for front room, then floor fitter must be found - then, eventually the wood will continue, down; replacing the flooring (ancient falling to bits tiles) on teh dowsnstairs stairs, and in the downstairs hallway and then, ultimatly a new front door too (downstairs halway and stairwell need repaitning walls ceilings too), -0 = already have wooden stained/vaarnished stairs heading upwards from middle landing, and to all wooden floor upstairs already (may need resanding and restaining/varnishing)

I guess.
were one so minded, to do so;

You might, even, be minded to say, something, perhaps along the lines of;

I rather like wood

Wood is magnificent

But it has become quite expensive over the years

I'm in a years long process of refurbishing my combined dining and sitting room. Next I'll have to invest in three rather long and deep bookshelves for my hifi, tv, bluray etc. Plus a number of large books. I dare not think about the expenses

For the flooring in the front room/dining area, and middle landing, I think looks like about £1500 just for matterials - but, it'll last hell of a lot longer than carpet would and anyhow, its what we ... I want there (not looked around vastly to find cheaper pricing mind) - at some point we'll get a carpenter in, to fix some massive long shelves at the front of the room, for all our combined CDs, some shelving underneath for HiFi and probably TV, and then I'll probably put up the bookshelves for W, in the spare room (to be his study room), and in the long upstairs cooridor (can fit shelves along the long wall to cover it with William's books) can save some on some of the wooden furnature - one of the charity shops near me has some really great wooden furnature in, and all really cheap/afordible; for things like coffee tables, and occasional tables etc - and probably some more bedside drawers for bedroom eventually with all the painting decorating, new bathroom, kitchen, utility room, including bits of replastering ceilings, plus re-doing flooring, replacing front door etc, all in we're hoping to get the lot done for less than £20K hoping anyhow

Sounds inspiring

I hope this inspires my lottery as well

Had a visitor late morning then W and I went for short walk to nearby charity shop... found large, long, solid wood table, with a sor tof shelf under, very heavy, about 5 foot long only £20! - not overly far away... so we carried it home I was wearing my full length arabic blue robe/dress thing, with a large wide black leahter elt, and I wore my purple big new floppy hat new purple suade handbag still not arrived nor, the purple corset been doing towel laundry today too... its still in the dryer feeling a bit exausted now so maybe nap time
