OOOPS

Looks like I have been using the wrong wordpress type of blog…

I was wondering how all the web designers get awesome custom
layouts with wordpress and I could only choose from set layouts.

Turns out I was using the wrong blog, wordpress.com instead of
wordpress.org!
Simple error

So this will no doubt be my last entry on this blog, so if if you
want to check out what I have been up to more recently check
out: www.bengillott.com <— that is my new and proper blog…

Hope to hear from you soon,

This is a bit of a random blog post, hehe… but it was a lot of fun so thought it was worth sharing with you all…

I recently had an idea to move bedrooms in my house from a double into a single room as I wanted to rent the double room out as it would fetch a better rent than the single.
Problem is I have way too much stuff for a single bedroom!

Luckily I am not the sort of person who will let these sort of things get in the way of a good idea.
While I was poking around up in the attic  (looking at boarding it out so I could chuck some stuff up here) I came accross a bunch of old wooden planks and it gave me an idea. I thought I could make some sort of custom built bed so the double bed would not take up any of the valuable floor space in the smaller bedroom.

So as I had the following day off work I got started, and eight hours and a few screws later the master piece was completed!

This has to be the best bed I have ever had, and I made it out of scrap wood! genius…

Last weekend I went for a jog and came to the sad conclusion that I think I will have to definately do some training for this event. To be honest I will find it hard to cover the distance in 3days, but as long as I don’t collapse and die on route who cares if I’m a day late, or three hehe…

Great news looks like we got a cool sponsor in the pipeline! A coasteering company up in Pembrokeshire, I’m just hoping to negotiate a free days coasteering in Pembroke as part of the deal All adds to the training ofcourse!
more on that laters…
