Sue- it's so easy to do things like that. Take care.
Am finally thawing out. 'B' hell daughter's house is cold with no heating. I did sort of clean the front bay window, but some sort of deposit ? on it that will probably budge with warm water, which didnt have unless I boiled the kettle, plus elbow grease & vinegar which also didnt have.
I'd taken a fan heater up with me, so moved it from room to room wherever I was! Think they'll need the oil filled radiator up there as well for this w/ends' painting session.
The stored furniture arrived, the big wardrobe had to be dismantled to be got up the stairs- narrow, steep & a bend at the top. They finally got it reassembled, but have broken off a knob & removed the other. No problem, daughter can buy new ones & also some for the tallboy that has the same ones matching the wardrobe. Funny thing is I can remember Dad fitting those when I was little, so they werent the originals.
Does look good seeing furniture around. A bit sad though as lots of memories.
Visited the local Morrisons on the way back, bigger than ours. Then called in at the warehouse place here from where she's ordered her carpets. I'd been telling her they would be cheaper & would get a new mattress for the little bed. Wouldnt believe me, but of course they can......& much cheaper that what she was saying, plus 1 less delivery to arrange.
Now what's the betting that OH will phone me just as am putting my car away in garage. I've got the urgently needed info he wanted, but cant get hold of him. J.
This was thread was not running in Feb last year - was it? I think it is just that it is Feb and we are all fed up with not being able to garden properly.
Geoff I have been wondering what is happening with house. Is it time to start chivvying them up. Remind them, in the nicest possible way, that you and your house are still there. We found we had more response when we did that. Sometimes Even went for a general chat into the office. Mind you being a female i could flirt a bit as well - gets results Send Mrs Geoff
Jo all my windows need a relly good clean and shine - if you are ever down this way.......
Pause
Ring on door bell and plant (camellia) I only ordered on Sunday was delivered. Very special one as it is my Grand daughters name. That is thanks to you Geoff directing me (us forum folk) to the right part of the RHS website
Now I have to put log edging round bed, fill bed with ericaceous,- first paint log edging. Busy busy busy at last. Mind you going up to Staffs again on Thursday - visit to Hollybush then I think
I have written in that thread - must admit to being puzzled by the initials but didn't like to say as it took me ages to work out what btw meant and every one else seemed to know

Nothing on the house-had a questionnaire today on how they were doing-they didn't rank very highly in my scoring

This time last year there was / were no Fork Handles so maybe it will always be a February thing

Have reduced the price on the house-it was overvalued
Perhaps I should put me mules on??
I noticed the thread titled MOB, but didn't understand what MOB means. Maybe it's obvious to everyone else.
Anyway, I asked Mr Google, and he gave me lots of suggestions...
Man Over Board
Mind Own Business
Morbidly Obese
Mail Order Bride

Something to do with bitching?

What really p*ss*s me off is people who use acromyns that no-one else understands.
