I like Bentley...[:P] ay ay shipmates..[:D]

It has gone from a easy format to a rubbish one....[:P] Just wondered where the 2,ooo users have gone?

Why is that forum so rubbish now...?

I have put my windows and doors where I want them ,so perfect and the floors as well ,I look round at our village and most people houses they have to bend down to look throught the upstairs windows...Same as the chimney , I built right in the middle of the house...Think stone walls ideal for winter and summer .. Starting from scratch has huge advantages... 725 is a lot ,the knock that down and take away would be very expensive..

[quote user="Jonzjob"]I was told by a very good builder who had done his apprenticeship on Gloucester Cathedrial that a stone barn will always be a barn and not a good house. It wasn't designed to be a house. His words not mine. But I tend to agree. [/quote] well mine is a barn conversion ,all we started with is three stone walls ,no electrics/roof/water nothing ,but I never once considered knocking it down and building a new build... Building it ourselves had great self satisfaction...The cost of renovation was well under 20,000 euro and we have new everything roof/windows/electric/plumbing etc... new houses does not have the wow appeal imo...

[quote user="puzzled"] I am sorry to bring this up again and I'm not prying but if you haven't paid enough contributions in your own right, IF you are a lone parent and IF the children's father is in the UK, maybe you can at least get cover for them via his contributions. It could save you some money. [/quote]   Even if we are divorced?

Hi   thanks for your replys ,unfortunatly Newcastle computer said no...[no enough ni contributions]     Have I any other options?

Hi   I am in a bit of a pickle me and my children mover to France in September ,I thought I could see how it went ,I thought our travel card would be enough ,but it is not ,how helpfull would Newcastle be if I phoned and asked for a E106 now..?   Or is there another option...?I stopped paying uk contributions in September [I suppose that is a bad move]..   Thanks
