That?s what Mrs B says we need to make a start on whilst I?m up at the Fort for the summer.

I?ve been cooking oven chips and eating breaded cod with tinned mushy peas.

I?m still up at the Fort - remember it?s a fire on Fridays - just bring some craft beer from that beer shop on LL. Has anyone been to Saucy yet?

Yes, Mrs B says we now need to extend the rear of the house. We?ve already done the loft (extra bedrooms), side (wider kitchen), and cellar (storage).

Great - I can start queueing at WR again when I come back from my summer trip to the Fort.

It was much less when the cat and exhaust on my wife's C3 were replaced. The cat itself was just ?80 for example. I go to a very good local independent garage.

I've forgotten to bring the blue Elsan liquid for the caravan toilet - if anyone is coming up for the fire tonight has any - could you bring some with you please?

It?s great renting four of our five bedrooms out on Airbnb during the summer, because the ?Rent a Room? Scheme lets you earn up to a threshold of ?7,500 per year tax-free from letting out furnished accommodation in your home. Someone has to be resident, hence why Mrs Bob stays there.

I'll be up at the Fort once I've got the caravan packed.

The kids have finished school and the house has been rented out on Airbnb, so I'm off to the Fort for the summer in my caravan. I'll be offline apart from watching Stranger Things and OITNB. I'll be having a big fire every Friday if anyone wants to join me (I like the craft beer from the beer shop on LL).

I also need to decorate the house in Osborne & Little wallpaper - does anyone know someone experienced in working with F&B paints and O&B wallpapers?

I need to get my front door repainted with a Farrow & Ball colour - does anyone know a painter and decorator experienced in working with Farrow & Ball paints? If so please send me a PM. Thanks

I've got a postal vote for the Euro elections. I'll vote LD because they're the unequivocal remain party.

I haven't got an EV yet. I have 3 cars - X2 C3s and a Volvo V70.

I've stopped going and send Mrs Bob to Waitrose instead.

Thanks for the advice everyone, but Mrs Bob says it's probably best she goes on her own to Sweden and I stay at home. I'll just do a steam inhalation from an IKEA bowl instead. Is menthol or eucalyptus oil best to inhale?

I've just read in today's Guardian that you can also get craft bacon with none of those carcinogenic nitrites added. Does anyone know if WR, F&H or the new place in DV sell craft bacon?

Thank you for your erstwhile advice - I will take heed - is it the 'budgie smuggler' type Speedos I should wear?
