Where's that Jock been hiding then anyway ?

My own over inflated sense of self importance will have me thinking some of you may have noticed my absence over the last month or so , well we have moved into the village of windermere itself , now only 1 mile from work so my juice consumption has dropped considerably from my previous 80 mile a day commute :woohoo:

anyway the house was a wreck when we got it , the previous tenant was a single mum and her brood of 5 and she had been very thorough in destroying it

heres some before and after pics , hopefully when you understand I was working full time and remodelling the new house at the same time you will forgive my absence :beer:

bedroom 1 a delightful mix of beige and scarlet







and after



dining room





the kitchen in vivid pink

and as it stands now


the living room in cadburys purple


apres decor


about 60 litres of emulsion all in , a bit of papering and then carpeted from top to bottom , I need an holiday ! , made a start in the garden as well , stupid cunt had dissassmbled a trampoline and scattered all the metal fittings from one end of the garden to the next , allowed ivy to cover everything , had a bonfire of old furniture in the middle of the lawn an planted paving slaps at random intervals in the back lawn so 3 full car loads to the tip later I finally have a blank slate to start from

aw cheers jeff :pinch: ,
what the hells with the swear filter anyway ? the actual word used was the vernacular for a person of scottish descent , ie begins with a J and ends in OCK and the swear filter changed it to the word you saw not me , a swear filter that turns non sweary words into sweary words , macD would be proud of you !

Anyways I didnt see any scores at the weekend jeff , presumably you stuffed st mirren did you ? is the party still going on in embra ? :whistle:

Seriously? .... maybe one for admin to amend ... certainly as a porridge swiller myself, I can't see any rationale for that ...

I guess that's what happens when you only play for the first and last half hours ... :pinch: ... TBF that result was on the cards and most Jambos are simply relieved to stay in the SPL after this season.


Back on topic, you've fairly blasted through your news house. Mrs Coupe must be chuffed with the time taken. :broon:

... and don't forget extracting Mrs Coupe from wall. :yesnod:

So Jock is a swear word is it?

edit nope. You didn't type C instead of J did you?

Can see where all the spare time went.

Great improvement, bit like, "homes under the hammer", love the before and after.

And what a location, we all travel miles just for a quick walk round.

Best of luck with finishing off the garden, just ready for spring.

The reply button defaults the Subject to what is was :whistle: which isn't as bad as what it is now :woohoo:

Great job with the house, I luuurve before and afters pics

I was wondering who would name a house 'cockwomble'. :lol: Good job on the décor. :broon:

Haha! A K instead of a J, Andy you are a Jockwomble... :bust:

I have applied a tartan poultice soaked in a good single Malt to the affected area and we now have Jocks back with us.
I have also created a new word in the process, so welcome to Andy - our first Jockwomble!

:broon: thats me !
