The Garden Fence - proper Old Style support and chat!

Hester, how long has CHS got to endure this job before he retires? The PTB there seem to be completely oblivious of their workers' health and well-being.

nm, At least the house seems to be in the right place. Your DS will find it so much better with the short journey to work.

burtha, I bet there is someone who would snap your house up. After all, Homes Under The Hammer is one of the most popular programmes. However, you obviously wouldn't get so much for it. I hope 3MW isn't thinking that he is going to walk away with half the proceeds. The court's first priority will be the housing of your children, or at least, that's how it used to be. He may not get anything at all until the children are adults and not your or his responsibility.
I had that scenario and was awarded 7/8ths of the house, a friend lent me the money and I bought him out. He never got over it, 35 years on he was still fuming and swearing revenge apparently.

Karcher, I must have missed your news about your dreadful injury when you first told us. It gives a whole new meaning to the term, "tongue in cheek," doesn't it?
Silly girl! You'll think twice before indulging in sweeties again, especially toffee sweeties. I hope Mar has taken note.
When I have anything wrong in my mouth I find dabbling it with neat TCP helps. Unpleasant but effective.
Thanks for your offer of help in finding my bungalow. as long as it has a minimum of 2 bedrooms and a garage to house all the stuff I can't get into the house, I will consider it. My DIL sent me details of one she thought good, but it was in the middle of bungalow city, where people go to die and forget what they came for. It was also a long, long trek to the nearest bus route and there was no shop for miles. The bungalow itself was OK-ish, but nothing to write home about.
I have been blessed with always having lived in beautiful, unique, houses in wonderful locations, but now is not the time to be picky and I am having to have stern words with myself.

Today will be a quiet day after all the rushing around yesterday. It was a mini-rush really, but I am getting lazy. Enjoy the Day of Rest, folk.

Karcher sorry, I pinched some of it to deep clean our bathroom...:o It does look loads better though, all the soap-scrum staining on the grout has gone, as has the black moukdy gunk at the join of floor & base tiles Oh and we watched the rugby, and DH has brewed beer and I have batch cooked a pork & tomato soup casserole and lamb mince with aubergine, cumin & fennel...both smelled gorgeous when cooking and the pork was delish with pasta for tea

Blimey, I need a lie down after just reading about your achievements this weekend.

You're forgiven though Floss:p

Nothing much done here but I did tidy up the top drawer in my bedside cabinet which I've been meaning to do for [STRIKE]months[/STRIKE] weeks...it took all of 5 minutes:D

A very quick visit this morning as the surveyor is due at 9.00 and I have a couple of murky corners to attend to. Goodness knows what will happen if he wants to look into the garage. I always asked viewers if their vaccinations were up to date before I opened to door to that hell hole.

I hope to be back later, but to be going on with....

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Some minds are like concrete - all mixed up and permanently set.
