I love that song Maud Smile

Just to update, I have just completed day 10 of my vid and will be moving up to level 2 tomorrow.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 15/06/2011 18:45

Every time I look at it (it's hard to avoid, sigh) I wonder how it ever got planning permission. Then I remember that our borough seems to have thrown in the towel over planning enforcement and so it's every man, woman and crazed self-builder for themselves.

PasstheTwiglets · 15/06/2011 18:52

Wow, I am really impressed, Small! Both at getting to Day 10 and at reaching Level 2 - I can't imagine ever doing either! Yay you!

Maud, could you ask them to turn their radios down a bit or is that (or are they?!) too scary? I couldn't do it - I am way too intimidated by builders, but if you were feeling brave...?

TheSmallPrint · 15/06/2011 18:58

Maud I suspect they may have done it under permitted development. No planning permission needed.

Twigs, what the dvd has revealed to me is how shot my pelvic floor muscles are Grin

Hello Twigster. I was thinking of screeching "turn that @*&%$^ thing down" in appropriate fishwife style, but as the wireless was playing songs I actually quite like, I decided to let it go. However, if it's going full blast when I'm avoiding the housework tending the garden, I may give them the benefit of my considered opinion. Trouble is, the thing that bugs me most is the monstrous carbuncle they are attaching to the top of the house, and there's nothing I can do about that.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 15/06/2011 19:01

I was wondering about that, Small. I thought permitted development allowed you to put a room in the loft and Velux windows etc, but they have altered the roofline (think two large boxes dropped from a great height and sticking out of the roof). Would that fall under permitted development? I'd been assuming it would have required consent.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 15/06/2011 19:02

Am sitting here now doing my pf exercises

TheSmallPrint · 15/06/2011 20:04

If the dormers are on the rear they don't need permission generally. Permitted development rules changed fairly recently so there may be some changes that I'm not aware of - I don't do too much PD work.

TheSmallPrint · 15/06/2011 20:06

And squeeze 2,3,4 ....

PanelMember · 15/06/2011 20:15

Don't mock the afflicted, Small. Those with medical problems deserve sympathy and respect, as the doctor always says.

TheSmallPrint · 15/06/2011 20:52

I am the afflicted Maud!!

Actually I would be mortified to go and see a dr about that and be faced with Dr Track Blush

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 15/06/2011 21:13

A friend of a dear friend of mine only discovered how afflicted she was on the trampoline at the gym. Blush to the power of 10.

TheSmallPrint · 15/06/2011 21:27

Where has everyone gone?

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 15/06/2011 21:28

Scared off by our talk of pelvic floors, probably!

TheSmallPrint · 15/06/2011 21:37

Trampolines are not good. Nor are jumping jacks..

DumSpiroSpero · 15/06/2011 21:46

My pelvic floor's ok - it's the walls, roof and everything else that's buggered.

Am finally watching Shakespeare Retold - not much of RA so far but I think as he's 'MacDuff' there will be more later. Will let you know!

Not only is Keeley Hawes in it, but also the new guy in Spooks - Alex?

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 15/06/2011 21:46

Let's turn our attention to things that are wholesome and appealing, before we repulse the other Academicians.

TheSmallPrint · 15/06/2011 21:56

Yes good idea Maud and that is a very nice pic to take the attention

SupermassiveLBD · 15/06/2011 21:56

And what a topic to come in on!

I dread to think what state my pelvic floor must be in, and I haven't been near a gym or a trampoline in years so I can't check. But I don't want Dr Track to help me out there either Blush

Tell you what, I can try some jumping jacks out tomorrow when the menfolk are out.

Massive just join in with our silent squeezing and in the meantime enjoy Mauds offering and a Wine

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 15/06/2011 22:07

Quite frankly, Massive, if it was shot to pieces, you would know.

Did you see what I did there?

SupermassiveLBD · 15/06/2011 22:09

You mean the squeezing formerly known as Kegels?

Thanks for the pic and the Wine

TheSmallPrint · 15/06/2011 22:09

That one was very small Maud, but I see what you did with my magnifying glass

SupermassiveLBD · 15/06/2011 22:11

Well, I do seem to be able to run without an accident...

I certainly hope Lucas wouldn't be so cruel as to shoot me there, even if he was being John Bateman at the time.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 15/06/2011 22:11

Yeah, well, I have only a minimal archive of Lucasian photos. For obvious resons.
