Bricks!!!

I might have finally found my bricks!!! YES!!!! I spent the afternoon ringing round different builder's merchants and one had 'reject' bricks for a GREAT price!! I'm popping round there after I've dropped Little Prince off at school and ordering them :-) After being totally let down by the reclamation place, I've searched high and low to get the right bricks at a reasonable price (who knew bricks cost so MUCH!!!) and now I think I've finally found them :-) Hopefully the builder's merchants will be able to deliver them this week, and in a weekend or so our builder should have our wall finished YEAH!!!!!!!!! Of course the job still won't be finished, I'll have to get my handy man in to clear the ground in front of the wall (again - he cleared the raised beds that used to be there a few months ago). Then I can put weed supressing membrane down, a put down this special non degradable, eco friendly mulch I've found and then move Little Prince's climbing frames and slides over there - and we've got our garden back :-) Its going to be much safer for him and much more private too, which I like :-) And he'll have a lot more room to run around and kick a football around in - I'll probably have to get him one of those mini goal posts sets!!

Mini goal post sets? What's wrong with some white paint on the wall?

What's the nice mulch you're going to get?

Hi Baby Bro,
Because the wall is covered in ivy!!! And the other (new) wall will be behind all his climbing frames and slides and trampoline - so he'd never get to score a goal poor lad.
Check out http://www.ecoscapemulch.co.uk/ for the mulch :-)
