Default Any one done anything "useful" over the break?

Feeling smug - I finally finished putting cabling round the house so you can put on a Bluray on in the lounge and watch it in the kitchen or dining room or bedroom as well. Floorboards upstairs were heavier than they looked!

Finished my bathroom off inc painting.

I'm finally getting round Tomoz to tidy my garage out, watch this space as there may be things for sale

Got my copper 'bin' ready for weighing in

A couple of the runs are too long for HDMI cables. Bought some HDMI to Cat5 adapters and ran Cat6 cables to the further away TVs. Bought some RJ45 ends and a crimping tool and made up the cables myself (double smug!!)

Saturday- bike into a multitude of bits
Monday- Shed tidied properly (I love sweet tins!!), leak on the carbs fixed (new bolts in the bowls), front subframe once over'ed (never checked after me off)

Today- Work for a couple of hours, mothball inspection and a deep clean
Tomorrow- Fire alarm test in the morning (oh joys), bodywork to the painters
