I did mine myself as I wanted in done in a particular way and I am very fussy on workmanship. I like to do these things myself so I know how its done....just a personal choice. If you are compa...

you could not get a better boxing day than going out with those 2 blokes. Personally i got away a bit late today (had to take the dog to the vet) and you had much more fun that when I did today in PPB.
