Here's one.  Shag your missus after finishing the job.  You'll find your lower back can do allsorts you never knew possible and you'll want to lay more paving slabs :y

My advise would be to pay someone else to do that sort of work too.

My advice would be, make sure you keep your fingers well out of the way when dropping them in position ::)

 ;D ;D ;D ;D :D 'bout what I expected so looks like its a project that will be done as and when (I get my ass well and truly bitten by the other half) 'cos its for the BBQ hard standing.
Hmmmm, someone else mentioned something about hard standing too but I think that was for a different thingy.
As for watching the fingees, already had the big lesson so won't be doing that again........ :'(
Happy bdays are here again.....NOT :-[
Best  :-X now and get on with it.
Where is the rain when you need it? ;)
