Thank you Mr Enfield. I will ask about it. But it is Cuthound. A can of Special Brew should do the trick I used the chain that i was going to use on Mr Peterboat to attach to my chimney Hope (black cat) has been in twice, but not on the same day Decided to be a big girl and use the bed tonight (did check and spray for spiders) Only the cats have used it so far Hard to get comfy on the settee with the adopted one I don't think the cats are going to like the new sleeping arrangements If anyone wants to take my dog and bring her back when she is normal (just like me) give me a shout (I hear Jamboats arm shooting up at the back )

I'm filling up on fuel and wot nots on Wednesday then leaving early Thursday morning. Not enough funds to leave this week. Apparently I am such a special Moonbeam I have been moved onto PIP. Hope to get a weekend job when I get to the marina area, even if I can't park there I can lurk up and down during winter and think of ways and different marinades to get Mr Cuthound

A chap that looks like a young 'Clint Walker' came with his silver haired wolfhound and ended the rane of fear of the 'Disco Lights of Panic' then walked off into the mid-day sun (refusing to take my dog with him ) Going to need a new switch thingy for the light. Also need the Pennine boats to stick anti freeze in the engine (or there about) Off to lay the carpet (hope no body's are in this roll of carpet again)

Get some right weirdos on this forum

SCALPEL! where the blue blazes do you get scalpel from? You do know that i am a boat owner/slave Can't afford a scalpel I do have half tin opener and a semi clean can of baked beans (got to store the kidneys someplace) I have a problem (noooo not that one....or that one) My engine temp light now stays on (it may be worried that i am lonely on the deck) The header tank that says coolant has water in it. What do i do now? My dog is an idiot (swear she's adopted) twice in less than five hours she has fallen into the canal. It is impossible to dry a Springer Spaniel on a boat Painted the stove (boat now smells like a fry up !?) and i painted the walls the same colour as the vain at the side of Mr Peterboats head. The one that stands out every time he went into the engine room and poked the cauliflower PS I opend the rusty cap on the engine (it's a red engine) and it sighed then the black rubber pipe startled pulsating so i ran away is my boat about to blow up? Do i need to put water in anything on the engine? PS I have half a tub of Vics Vapour Rub, would that help? When is the 'Joys of a leisurely Narrow boating' going to kick in PPPPPPPSS How am i supposed to go about my plans for world domination if you all keep mocking my posts Some times i think you lot are only pretending to be trembling in fear (my feelings are hurt ) I hope you wake up next to a crate of Marmite grrrrrr! I'm putting on my Elmer Fud costume and going hunting

Don't need a whole year to start laughing hysterically while curled up under the blanket listening for the tiny 'pitter patter' of Harry the S***** relatives coming to suck my internal organs out (don't do it every night, I'm not a blooming weirdo) Bearwood Booster are you in league with QCat (sure you are) sure someone drugs my night time coco sneaks onto the boat and creates another problem that causes me to climb onto the boat roof and shake my fist at the universe each morning. Mr Peterboat mocked my curtains (most likely jealous) I bet he wishes that he thought of using bin bags for curtains but with his grown up mind he wasn't able to. I truly believe that all these people who write about the 'joyous life of narrow boating' are all getting back handers from NB magazines. Blooming windy tonight! Hope my chimney hat stays on (£12.00 for a hat) PS Don't tell Mr Enfield I'm using the stove (it's so cold) I can hear his disappointment over the Internet and its deafening

Thank you Adam, but by eclipse that's expensive!

I tried to google 'H' cowl and I can't see what you mean. I have put a hat on mine, I was told it would help with the wind and rain Are there better ones?

Wish I listened to all the members who I asked, begged and pleaded for advice ( they may have said 'No' and 'Haggle' but....I'm a idiot) Wish I took boating lessons, wish I knew how to fix things (I do have a pretty tool set). Apparently hitting things repeatedly with a hammer isn't a good thing! Stupid Rose Tinted Glasses

Can you still go under a bridge without taking it down ?

Mr Peterboat did mention I have to sort my locks out on the boat so I can exit either through the front or back. I've just been slapping padlocks on the back door and ignoring the risks (I can hear you tutting at the back) Moving out of Skipton next week Thursday. Time to put my big girl pants on and bite the centre line of adventure (Just like QCat does) Would be sooner but I want Pennine boats to give me a quick check up and fit the solar panels on, plus fuel and gas and bits. I'm going to finish the flooring and painting (inside the boat) this week and get in my supply's so I can go slowly up the canal (I have sooo much cat and dog food I could open a shop). Haven't had to do a handwAsh yet as laundrette is close by (I want a washing machine) I have a feeling I will need to replace all my batteries as they never get to 100% and I only use one light at a time. Haven't slept in the bedroom as the pup still needs to powder her nose through the night so the cats are still enjoying that room. I can honestly say without this forum that I wouldn't have lasted three days with the boat when I moved into it last month. The magazines don't mention the horror of moving into a infested boat and having to deal with not only your own items but the previous persons junk, spiders, no heating and a whole host of problems Less stressed out about going out into the unknown and I am less frightened of the boat thanks to Nightwatch and Mr Peterboat. Still going to put on my life jacket when no one is around though. Still think my voice has got deeper since I learned about the secrets of locks

Are the spiders getting delivered in a separate pallet ?

Thank you Mr Peterboat. No rush just get you and young Marly well again. Offer for me to paint your boat just like mine is still available

Sorry to hear you were in a accident. Tell me who they are and I will punch them in the ankles. I loved that car even though we just met. Stove doesn't make a bubbling knocking noise now (which was terrifying) still got no hot water, I reckon it's going to be a case of stealing some kidneys from forum members to make enough cash to pay for a person to redo the pipes (Cuthound has to many kidneys). I think the last owners just plugged the boat in at the marina and did day trips on it. Oh well least I have the prettiest paint job on the whole canal Make sure your insurance company gives the golf driver a jolly good spanking from me. Stay home and get better. Thank you chaps

First off BEST DAY EVERRRRR! Would have been even better if Mr Peterboat didn't insist that I drive the boat myself (it was terrifying.....at first) He insisted on going at warp factor 10 (I met my past and future selfs who all tutted at my life choices). 3 miles to the nearest lock and what a lock it was. Think it was made by Giants or formed when the earth cooled (they was mooseive) Locks are not as traumatic as I thought they would be and Mr Peterboat (not a forum computer generated member) is a fantastic teacher and explainer. It was a blooming marvellous day. Pups still a weirdo though. There will always be a bit of this boat with him which makes me happy ( he made me drive my own boat!) the Bitumen will never come off his hands....clothes or anything else that may have glanced at the boat Had good advice about keeping along book to prove I have moved, and he also ventured up and down Nightwatchs steps like a jack rabbit (no hot water on my boat) Starting from tomorrow, I am going to be a responsible boater and start venturing away from Skipton. Just need to pop back next week for my solar bits and fuel,gas and shopping. No point owning a boat if I don't actually do any boating. Will get Pennine boats to look at the stove when I get the solar wot-nots slapped on I think my voice has got deeper. Does this mean I'm turning into a grown up! Cuthound will no longer be using the forum due to me chasing him round the kitchen table with a rolling pin and a pot-noodle Grrrrr MTB Twice as long

I put new cement on the stove as the last cement fell off. Hope Mr Peterboat isn't some artificially generated intelligence, created by the forum just to get my hopes up then dash them on the canal banks of sadness and empty cake boxes Promise to return him in the same state of mind and condition he arrived in..... Just a bit more paint and grease

Flying Goggles and the road! Do you own Chitty Chitty bang Bang? Don't rush. Takes me forever to do my hair in the morning

Thank you Mr Chris. I'll find a Willos Just pointing out that it is 6:39 am and Mr Peterboat ain't here . He's probably putting on his long johns (butlers overslept) and then going down stairs to have a breakfast of Kippers and Eels (aka Narrowboaters breakfast) It's now 6:43 Not that I'm excited and I've been up since four making my boat pretty (prettier) Thank you forum for donating Mr Peterboat. Promise to feed and walk him everyday

Yes.......kind of......more of a fire jigsaw than a brick. Going to cement it back together

Spiders wait till you sleep then empty your bank account and spend the money on gin and kebabs. I had money once

I have two mini tanks by the cauliflower boiler thingy. One for the heating/water and one for the engine. The heating/water one keeps on bubbling over with cold water and the engine one is empty. The tiles by the stove are getting bowed and blooming hot (shush Mr Enfield) and I can't rip the fridge out Mr Nightwatch showed me how to get water out of the diesel (just remembered that now) but I have forgot how to do it. What goes in the engine violent tank header thingy? It's nearly midnight (ok 8:30 but it's close enough) and Mr Peterboat ain't here yet

I don't know the size and I've already put cement on it (and pretty much everywhere else)

Two tubs of cement and now paint

Oh yes. But only when it's not raining as I need my chimney and hat fitting:( Since I cleaned the chimney I don't have to wait outside till the cloud of smoke clears

The pound shop sells things that absorb water from the air and traps it in containers. Just replace when full I have four on the boat, seem to work ok
