D-Day Sunday lunchtime! Managed to borrow a trailer off a mate as I was struggling to find someone that would hire me one.

Just need to find a mate to help load it now.

Strange I seemed to spend most of last night dreaming / nightmares of the Van. Lots of what ifs this and what if that.

Just want to see it now!

T minus 24 hours to collection!!!!

Spoke to my painter this morning. I asked him how it was looking, his reply was "it's so bright I've had to put a sheet over it! As the lights in the unit are making my eye hurt looking at it"

Brilliant cannot wait!

Useless fact for the day.

Found out my car was first registered on 1st November 1981 making it actually a year older than I thought it was all this years.

More interesting posts to come later, hopefully the rain holds off!
