We don't have a basement/cellar. Most modern homes in the UK don't have cellars. I don't know why, as they'd be a useful space and I doubt they'd add that much to construction costs. There's always the loft/attic, I suppose.

Hi Carla, thanks for the interest. I will check tonight with the health club (livingwell in Llanishen) to see how we are paying as they are doing collection buckets etc I think it will go to the dec.org ? Can't remember the web address but I will check, it's possible we will pay by cheque with all the cash. Sent an email round work this morning and had over £200 in pledges in 1 hour so far !!! Delighted with that! Warnie

Now some 400k in front of MIT. Way to go Taffs!!!! Speedy

We'd better not get complacent....400K is only 10K each from their 40 rowers....we're less than one day ahead. Carla

No problem my friend. I woke on New Years Day after 4 hours sleep fueled by numerous quantities of the wrong 'carbs' and thought big row required for the start of 2005.

Dykie, Sounds like a quality row!! All Taffs, I want to break into the sub 3 Hr marathon, and I know Martins keen - maybe a few more of us should take part Warnies big one. Even if you dont raise money you'll get 3 hours of thinking time to consider everyone elses suffering around the globe.

I think I am going to try to do a full marathon on the 14th, too. It will be very slow and have some stops in it, but it will help to know you guys are doing it, too. Since the furtherst I've ever rowed was 28K (just couldn't do the full 31K for the Halloween Challenge) and things were hurting in odd ways, it will be a major milestone just to do that many meters in one day, even if I have to do it in 10K chunks with big breaks between.

Carla you will do it no problem ... I have only done one but I did it on my own in the conservatory but I set my stall out ... had fruit and water lined up and also three t-shirts to change into it was surprizing how much better I felt after a dry shirt was put on . I also had good music on . Wish I was fit to do it to .. but hey ho ... no need to feel sorry for myself there are millions in Asia a lot worse off than me . Waves at the rest of the Taffians....\o/ .......

Hey Carole, How's it going? How long is the lovely pink cast going to be on there? They never had pink when I had mine done, they only had green and blue BTW, what IS a conservatory in "British"? We yanks call a music school a conservatory. YOu must mean the kind of conservatory that is in the game of Clue, which I never quite understood. Do all houses over there have conservatories, and what do you normally do in one? Just curious! Keep happy! Carla

[old] Daren C · Post by **[old] Daren C** » January 7th, 2005, 11:22 am

A conservatory is like a greenhouse on the back (normally) of a house. e.g. <img src='http://www.gardenprideconservatories.co.uk/woodgr~2.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> <img src='http://www.gardenprideconservatories.co.uk/c3coni~1.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> Most houses don't have them when built, but many people add them to the house later on if there isn't one already. Actually, I ordered a conservatory to be built this week. I'm just awaiting planning permission. They're used for various things... as an interface between the house and the garden, as a dining room, as a kids area, as a second lounge, as... anything really, although I've never seen a conservatory used as a bedroom or a *** DELETE - SPAM ***. Or a bathroom, come to that.

In fact, this is Carole's garden & conservatory: <img src='http://www.kop.nildram.co.uk/images/carolecty.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

And WHO looks after the grass, and HOW much does he charge??? I would post a picture of my grass here but Im not risking another run in with the wild bore that roam my garden. Cheers, C
