This is a list of things still to be done - and a few things that have been done.  Breaking tasks up into separate pieces makes it easier manage, and to cross off, but also makes it a bit daunting!

=Interesting websites for supplies=
*[http://www.toolstation.com/search.html?searchstr=82060 Here]'s a nice cheap mixer tap.  And, as discussed, one of [http://www.toolstation.com/search.html?searchstr=84173 these] will tidy the job up as well.
*How about using recycled plastic for the decking - it might last forever.  [http://www.master-plastics.co.uk/index.html?target=p_2201.html&lang=en-gb This product] sounds expensive, but each plank is 6 sq feet - you'd probably only need one plank per side.

=FOOD LIST FOR EASTER=
Temporary place to put food stuff for the Easter holiday

Some menu suggestions - with likely stopping places

*Sat: Spag bol, salad and bread - bottom end of Audlem
*Sun: Pork roast, mash, carrots, beans and gravy - Middlewich
*Mon : BBQ Burgers and salad - Moore
*Tue: Chinese Chicken Stir Fry with noodles and spring rolls - Manchester
*Wed : Steak on BB, roast veg - Approaching Wigan
*Thur: Curry a la Nick - Scaresbrick way
*Fri : Eat out  - ditto
*Sat : Pork chops on BBQ, roast veg and mash - around Lathom

Looks like we're all agreed on a Sunday hand-over.  It looks like earlyish on Thursday for passing the children over (so let's say that even if we end up in Wigan - we can always do some shopping).  I'll tell M&D

We need to decide when we lose the children - among other things, I can make lots of curries and will make a different one depending on who is around to eat it!   Do you want me to make a very mild chicken kashmiri for all, or a slightly warmer dopiaza for 4?  Once I know I'll make sure to pack the appropriate spices.

General stuff:
*Cereal for children - cocoa pops and honey puffs go down well (own brands fine)
*Bread - I have a particular liking for the "finest" multi-seeded as a treat to start the trip off.  Good sliced fine after that.
