I thought it was the route you all tested last Wednesday? Sunbury
If not I can prob sort one but will need to know as ASAP.

Hope you all had a good Christmas. No Landy toys for me but I did get some nice Landy cuff links and some floor screed.

To me from me :doh:

Yeah ok I'll replan taking out the no go's

Mikey and I thought it would be good to do the coggeshall ones up to the one I got stuck on last year, then move up to the weathersfield ones, there are a few round there, and carry onto Sudbury.

make sure you mix it up correctly, powder to liquid or it WILL NOT be good enough for a ceramic tile finish.

Ah, let me explain. Delivered mixed and laid by builder. Bugger to wrap though. Thinking about Travatine is this something you can get hold of?

Sounds good to me. Let me know if you need any help with extra lanes after Wethersfield (never been so no idea how many there are).

Yeah, honed and filled natural stone. Cheapest so far is £29 per sq m. So looking at a polished polished porcelain @ £16 psm

Anyone coming to the mince pie driving day at Newbourne tomorrow?.

Doubt I will be going on the Laning trip, still not got the bushes in , and will be seeing the kids.

Natural stone is not our thing but will ask tilers on site when we go back.
Got me full MM on netbook now just looking for lanes around thetford, and think i might have the ones Stu had sorted. maybe he sent them along with the wales overlays. Will have it with me on 29th, are we meeting at braintree.

Cheers geoff.

Re 29th I'm happy with any area.
I think the current plan is Braintree, Sudbury. But not sure how long the route is.

I still have the paper route for west Essex and will have a passenger who can navigate and we have the thetford route on your mm.

??????????

Looking doubtful. If I get a few hours spare I'll tomorrow to see if anyone is still about.

What we talking, 9.30 brekkie at McD quick look at maps and off by 10.

9.30 at Macdonalds Braintree sounds good to me.

Nick, what area have you got to cover? Are you looking for stone atm or you already got it? Just done my grandads floors in the pantry and the kitchen and 2 natural stone worktops that weighed a fookin ton! Reason I ask as he over ordered for cheapness... pallet price as opposed to m2 price. It is a travertine effect in cappuccino. Not sure what area you're doing... extension looked quite big!

On the note of driving day today. I will be there with a guy that works for me. Just passed his driving test so is now up for some tuition God help me

I've just finished making up some sausage rolls. Been up since 5

Well i dont mind retiring from navigating if youd rather go Thetford? Let me know though as i was planning to sit down tomorrow afternoon and plan the route....

Dan if you have a route in mind and pretty much sorted then great.
Personally i would rather stay this way as thetford is a bit of a treck for me graham and ian, if they are coming. so i'm happy with the essex ones.

Like the sad git that I'am, I've marked all the lanes from the M25 up to Blakeney point.
I'm now starting to work my way across the country.
I need to get out more often.
