Hope your ducks are in a row Geoff, and all dusting is done. I remember when I was about 8 and my little brother about 5 and my parents were selling our house. One lot of prospective buyers came round on a very hot summer evening and when my parents opened my little brother's bedroom door he was fast asleep stark naked on his bed!
I don't think they bought the house!
I wonder how many people aren't prospective buyers but come round just to be nosy!
Chris We chose it because when ever we took a weekend break we always seemed to end up here or nearby and as you say loved it.
Go to Malvern Spring and Autumn show though always seem to be somewhere else for 3Counties Show. Secret go to shows last afternoon - brilliant bargains as stock is cleared. Got some great plants and greenhouse. Last time greenhouse staging And seed trays for £12.
Wonder how Geoff getting on.
I wasn't in car, previuos person I knew was. Not scathed
Estate agents, they told us, are now supposed to sort out genuine interest from time wasters.
Jean.....Normally up at 3am for 4am start. but being spared this week! We have a newbie! n have been given the task of doing his induction, so 5.30am starts this week! Yep! I get a lay in!
Pam.....(Pottie one) No dog called Nigel! But the postman is called Steve, n the window cleaner is called Paul! Hope that helps!
Lottie.....Hope OH is fairing well! I fell off a bike once! I've never been the same since!
Daughter & me went down to Dunham Massey for tea, coffee & cakes foloowed by a lovely walk around the winter garden there & the deer park afterwards. Glorious tree colours there, but leaves dropping fast.
Called into a Parkers GC on way back & various bulbs have come home with us, including a large 'free' bag of N.Minnow, coz we nearly spent a certain amount of £! Guess what I'm doing tomorrow/next week?! All for pots though. Didnt actually get what I went for, but it's not the right time of yr really.
Daughter is just doing her good Samaritan for me. We totally forgot to buy milk when out & as, tomorrow is a garden day so noway was I going shopping, she's gone to buy some. I'll walk up on thursday for supplies to last until Saturday, when OH & me are off out. Daughter will be sleeping after nights so I need to keep him out of house as much as possible.
Lottie- hope OH makes quick recovery, noit pleasant, but shows the value of helmets.
Wish my BP stayed 'normal' with diet control. Nope, hereditary, but could be worse & have the major heart failure from t'other side of family.
I can remember both a Standard 8 & an Austin A30 from childhood. My first car was a Datsun Cherry. A right little rust bucket, only 1yr old when bought from friend who was getting a works' car. Sold it age 4, rust already becoming a problem, & spotted a couple of yrs later doing a bomb along a local motorway!! J.
Well that was fun-OH had to take the dog out-agent did the veiwing- just the wife, she will report back to husband-right noises made-my cynical negative head says this will come to nothing
Evening Geoff, dont envy you, but at least you'll know how realistic all your plans are.
Daughter back, but wants a delayed meal re some medication she's taking which doesnt allow food too soon afterwards. Fine by me. Monday's stand-by of cauli macaroni cheese over cauli tonight. Last of my tomatoes will go on the top. J.
