My reprehensible brother in law is staying down south for the festive season..
Splendid news and I can save a fortune on air fresheners.
Nowhere near the CH Postcodes I hope?

I've slept longer than 7hrs for the first time in a while. 


I’d like to say I’m in the same boat. Bairn slept till 9.30 this morning and we went to our bed at 12. 9 and a half hours sleep, forgot what that felt like. Still had a cheek to say I was knackered when I woke up.

Got an airfix meteor (1/48) on fleabay for fifteen quid. No decals, so bought a sheet including Belgian, Aussie and Syrian markings for seven quid from Hannants. Total saving on usual shop price - twelve quid.

Proper chuffed.

 

^^^ this. The sweating over the various nephews and nieces Christmas presents now absolutely solved,thank you WRK.

 

They get one each and the wee bams can sit and watch Uncle a-p swear while transforming their random sheets of non-biodegradable plastic into works of 1:72 scale art. Then they get cut loose with the paintbrushes and make a complete c**t of all my hard work. Wee bams.

The grandkids ain't getting anywhere near this beauty, don't you worry! They will, however, be getting a few starter sets from Aldi and Lidl*. Nice simple wee kits which might keep them quiet for a bit, and gently introduce the concept of delayed gratification.

*Both of which have had airfix sets at a fiver recently. Half price, so worth picking up if you fancy a go. All (well, some) paints, brush and cement included.
