Thanks for finding that thread Jamie

I think we have done the right thing even though it was extra work  :happy:

Thanks, and I agree :)
If you want to be happy for a short time - get drunk.

If you want to be happy for a long time - fall in love.

If you want to be happy forever - take up gardening!

Sorry can I also ask does anyone have any ideas re:paths? Is there anything I could put down that a/ wouldn't wash away and b/would help keep the mud non slidy, I don't fancy the bruising as mentioned above.

Thanks all, this is really  good advice. I'm going to try and start building some as instructed, although I know it will be harder work for a girly I guess  :tongue2:

Girlies can do it too  :lol: :lol:
