I'm being bad right now. 10 before 4 AM and I'm not yet in bed!! Tomorrow will be a lay in bed till noon.
Well I was correct. I almost got 8 mindless hours of "mostly" uninterrupted sleep. The only issue is that now, at 9:03 pm my time I'm ready for bed and let me tell you what, that's still much too early for this here Cowboy! I say "mostly" uninterrupted sleep because Ava has learned a very fun for her dog trick. She is tall enough to put her wet dog nose/tongue on my face while I sleep. The new trick she has morphed this into is to just show up with one of my dirty socks in her mouth in my face! She doesn't chew them up, she's just very proud to present me with a dirty sock in my face which forces me to roll out of bed. She's a very sweet girl…ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1486703974.054699.jpg this is a picture of her as a puppy and the cat who raised her…the best part of this whole unnaturalness, the cat is a male cat !

Okey dokey, Roommates. :)
It is time for Day Four of the challenge.
Today's task is Gluttony.
Eating too much, too expensively, too soon or too eagerly.
This should be fun. :D
Right. Can you just give me -100 points immediately and I'll accept I have well and truly bagged last place in today's task.

This afternoon JoesDad and I are off to a rather nice hotel in the Ashdown Forest for the night where I'm getting an even nicer, and rather expensive, dinner by way of celebrating my birthday.

My birthday is next week, but as it's on an inconveniently pink and expensive day we never celebrate it on the day!

The Ashdown Forest is one of the ancient royal hunting grounds. It's acres of heathland rather than trees... the word forest is misleading... it's also where Winnie the Pooh was created by AA Milne

I've seen the commercials, but never seen the product in person. I don't think I would like it. I have a shower stall like that - a one piece unit. I wish it was tile. But it is easy to keep clean. I'm just a snob, I guess.
The whole thing has a funky kind of gold/yellow 1970s thing going on. I need to rip it all down to the studs and re do the whole thing.

The grout season doesn't start in the UK until the 12th August.;)
(Apologies maybe only the UKers will get that as not sure if you have similar hunting time for grouse in the US)
We have panels you can buy that fit over tiles to line the walls here but not sure if they are fibreglass.
I just haven't seen it done in person. Don't know if it looks good or not.

Just had it done this past summer. I had the tub/shower done and 3/4 high of the bathroom walls done. Very happy with it so far. The only thing I didn't like was the sales lady. She said certain things would be done, that wasn't. It was just some patching work that wasn't going to get covered.
The cost was cheaper then cost of my old bathroom that I had totally redone with tile, drywall, new tub, etc but this was a lot faster. Bath Fitters was the company I had.
That's the same company I was going to call. I can do the detail work by myself. Every time I go into that bathroom, I just don't like the look of it.
