This sounds good Lindy but it needs someone to do it I need the Rich Brothers and Charlie Dimmock .

My patio will have to do as the cost of replacing all the paving I have would be astronomical and I'm not sure swanky new paving is in keeping with the house.

My next outside jobs are to make some stepping stones and perhaps a few pots from hypertufu as B&Q have finally opened and I've manage to buy some cement!!

Why don't you ask for some quotes now? So many people are desperate to get work they'll be very keen to give you a good quote.

I've just found a book with some good ideas for paths etc - I'll take some photos and post them later on.
