    Question, I was just looking on the Moonpig website, but it said due to high demand all orders have to be placed through the App. What's the difference then regarding orders, in how the technicalities of that work?

    Tried, got bored and gave up. A little too sterile for me and when you’ve not really got any interest in the teams playing, it’s even harder to get enthused.

    Seems like a data capture exercise to me mate. Once you’ve got the app you’re more likely to go straight to that rather than looking at other competitors.

    Clinton’s are operating on line now, and the service is good as I’ve used it. Obviously they send it to you and you can write it and post on. Old skool and more personal imho.

    So basically Moonpig are exploiting the market to their gain, during the virus. Hmmm.

    Sounds good what you said about Clinton's, I'll remember to look them up next time.

    Good work Bruv.

    Tomorrow's job is build a shed. Cba today.

    Have been chasing out some cable runs and plug sockets in our bedroom though, had enough of that chore now, it's doing my head in. It's at plasterer stage so that's not me, thank ****

    Got to strip the wallpaper off the ceiling though. Joy.

    Nice work bru.

    Either treat it with some wood preserver or paint it. Don't let that succumb to the elements as it will rot.

    Looks real good mate, really nice work <ok>

    Yeh the old man said the same and he got a sander for me to use on it, still I may leave it a few weeks cos to get it kinda the same colour, its all off the same bed frame but some slats (the seat ones) were wrapped in plastic so they look fresh compared to the back and foot boards, he said to stain it but i like the sun bleached/rained on look on the back and front bits tbh.

    I know **** all about paints and that so I'll just go with what he says I reckon.

    If you sand it back bru, it will have the same tone all over and then you can treat it.

    You can either use a stain or preserver if you want to keep the natural wood colour <ok>

    I really like it mate, lovely to see some creativity with an old piece of furniture

    Sucky makes a bench, looks alright.

    People have seemingly forgotten the shelves.

    ****ed if I’d be the first to sit on that ****er.

    Cheers bru. so do I love a bit of refurbishment or "upscaling" or any creative DIY tbh , I see someone selling a miniature cactus garden in a old glass kettle on Shpock that I might buy just cos it's cool and hand made by the bloke selling.

    My next ones a brick bbq in the back corner, just need the bricks and cement and probably some other **** but I've kept all the grills and racks off my old cooker i got rid of last month with it in mind.

    Oh and one of these
