Another brilliant banter....on the train home. Will definitely post pictures this time. See how I feel when I have got everyone to where they need to be this evening...but it will probably be tomorrow. Jan

Don't know where they all are then 'cos I don't think there is anyone but me left in the Beauchief. Jan

Shower in a basin? Sounds like hard work to me. Bazza.... leave the washing up...there's a banter to be had! Jan

Are you there yet?

I'm there as well.

Someone else counting as well, I'm actually having a really lovely Christmas ...... but looking forward to not being Mum for a few hours. Hope you've all had a good one so far Me neither.....I've had lovely presents. Best one is .....train and b&b so I can come to the Xmas banter!

Aaaargh! Trying to book my train ticket, but my laptop and National Rail are conspiring...... Escape plan almost sorted...... How many more sleeps Star? (I love Christmas really, but coming to the conclusion that teenagers and Christmas don't mix!) Lemon

Without looking at a map, I think they built the M1 too far over to the right to be of any use to me. A lovely offer anyway. I hope you get takers. Jan

that looks very nice......I like the way the shelf is set back to allow the sides to hang over. Jan

That looks like a very nice piece of equipment. At the moment I only havea few cds so storage isn't a problem! I do intend getting an ipod eventually, but thought it would make sense to get something that would play my cd's meanwhile, and also play the ipod music, when I eventually move on. I actually have a space which is ideal for a car cd, but haven't completely made my mind up yet. Jan

Mark .....that Sony MEX-BT3800 looks just the thing. A little more than I had been planning on spending, but definitely worth thinking about. Jan

Is there only one Beauchief? May seem like a stupid question , but I have got these kind of things wrong before. At the beginning of this thread, I thought.....nah, not going to be many takers that close to Christmas.....but I have watched it grow and grow and am determined not to be the boring one sat at home. I have asked permission and have been told to go (with far too much enthusiasm!)......so ...is there only one Beauchief? Jan

Be careful of overuse. Mine came with the boat, and although it worked fine to start with, I think that it is broken. I can still hear it , but nobody else seems to...... One if the most useful things on my boat is the kitchen/butcher type hooks I have hanging at the end of every curtain rail. I use them for all sorts of things that used to float about the floor waiting to be fallen over or trod on.

Some good replies. Whatever I do I want to keep it simple. At the moment I haven't got 12v in the saloon ....except for the lights. I want anything I put in from now on to be 12v. I'm working towards self contained, so that I can eventually cut the umbical cord. Jan

Having managed without any means of playing music, besides an old radio, for the past two years, I think it is about time I remedied the situation. Looking at doing something on a budget, I noticed that car radios/cd players can be picked up quite cheaply, and some will let you plug an ipod in (don't have one but it goes on my xmas wishlist every year!). I did have a mini type music system, but it hasn't worked since it jumped off the shelf. What do other people use to play their music? Jan

It depends who the cabins are for.....I managed to divide a 10ft space into two for my two teenage boys. I have a 50ft boat. I didn't manage a dedicated bedroom for myself though....sofa bed in the saloon. I can dig out photos if they would be any help. I used a 3d plan/model made out of cereal boxes, which unfortunately I don't have anymore as they got sat on. Jan

I can almost smell all that wood. What an exciting project to be involved in.
