Friday night - so a short blog. If anyone feels a huge (or in fact any sized) desire to write something of a Friday evening and thinks that they can commit to more than a couple of weeks before getting writer’s block then please get in touch.

This morning was spent doing pricing/plans for Dutch Donald who wants his new build up asap. He was put in touch with Dig-It via an estate agent who has one of our houses on her books and who phoned to see if Matt would be interested in doing the foundations for a wooden house. He went to see the site and had a look at the plans, for a wooden framed/cladded house, to be built and completely finished by a team of Poles in 6-8 weeks….for 67 000€! Fantastic on paper….until you realise that those are plans for a three bedroomed house and it has to one of the worst designed houses ever committed to paper.

Talking of builders ( did anyone see the programme last night with the Samantha Janus lookalike dissing Jarek?) I for one think the Poles are great and am not out to do them down …but 3 bedrooms in 65m² of wooden house…and this in the Limousin where space isn’t exactly at a premium!

Anyway I’m sure I could go on but Have I got news for you is on in 10 mins and it’s chestnut picking again tomorrow from 9am – 12am before an afternoon of football to be followed by the piece de la resistance which is Harry Hill’s TV Burp comeback tomorrow night and Matt’s duck supper…..autumn has arrived ….in proper style.
