The Gas Lass

So I've just been to look at the loft conversion that Andy completed last month now that all the furnishings are in. What an incredible space! From the Juliet balcony that looks over Lake View Park, to the beautiful rosemary tiles on the roof that they painstakingly fitted themselves. I'm not being biased but the attention to detail is second to none and the client is over the moon with the finished job. I couldn't be prouder. If you are looking to have building work done and want him to give you a quote then drop me a message and I'll send his number 🩵💙

So our beautiful Reno house needs lots of time and money to get it to where we want it. Neither of which we have just yet. So in the meantime Andy (and myself occasionally) having doing what we can with what was basically a jungle at the end of the garden complete with Japanese knotweed. Having knotweed meant we were limited on what we could do with the space. Over a year long period we have cut everything down excavated and removed the knotweed (through a proper company btw) laid down a membrane that can't be penetrated by even water or sunlight (which proved to be a nightmare in rainy season) Then in his spare time, Andy has has built a beautiful outside space for us to chill out in. I know I'm biased but he really is an exceptional human. 💙

Last day of work today and no more training left to do now.. We are 11 months sober (I think we deserve sponsoring for that alone!) and Sunday is the big London to Brighton bike ride day!! I've never done anything like this in my life. But I'm proud to say that Andy and myself have raised almost £5K for the Brain Tumour charity in memory of his brother Adam. If you haven't sponsored us already and plan to then here's the link to my page! We'd obviously like to raise as much as possible. And don't worry I'll be keeping you all updated on Sunday with our progress no doubt!! 💙🩵

So months and months of training every morning at the gym. Over 10 months abstaining from alcohol and boring everyone with my progress. It's now just over two weeks until we do the London to Brighton cycle ride. I'm actually really looking forward to it now. We have raised over £3.3k between us so far for the Brain Tumour Charity. I'm so proud of both myself and Andy. Please if you can support us then click on the link. I won't stop pestering people till we've done it! 🤣🤣

No problem John! 💪🏼

This is why carbon monoxide alarms are so important!

A teenage girl found dead alongside her boyfriend sent her mother a final message saying 'goodnight, I love you' before the pair died from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning, an inquest opening heard.

Cherish Adele Bean, 15, and Ethan Harry Slater, 17, were described as 'fit and well' before being discovered unresponsive at a holiday park last month.

They had been staying at a lodge known as the Man Cave at Little Eden Holiday Park near Bridlington, East Yorkshire.

An inquest hearing into their deaths on February 18 was told that four suspects had been arrested in an ongoing criminal investigation into 'gross negligence manslaughter involving carbon monoxide poisoning'.

A boiler recovered from the couple's lodge is also being forensically examined.

Opening the inquests at East Riding Coroner’s Court, area coroner Paul Marks told how the teenagers had been on a family holiday to the lodge park, near the village of Carnaby.

He said: 'The family spent the night together and Cherish and Ethan were both fit and well.

'Cherish left the family for the smaller cabin next door, with Ethan at 9pm to watch TV.

'She returned to the main cabin at 9:50pm complaining of a headache, spoke with her mother and had Calpol as the family had no paracetamol.'

'Cherish went back to bed in the small lodge and texted her mother at 10.20pm to say goodnight and that she loved her.

'The circumstances were similar for Ethan, who went back to the cabin at a similar time.'

Cherish and Ethan, from Sheffield, South Yorkshire, were discovered dead the following morning in Cabin 31 - known as the 'man cave'.

The coroner's court was told that police arrested and interviewed four suspects connected with the management and maintenance of the site.
