NM got everything crossed for you, sounds perfect x

Monna Sounds like you will need a bouncer not a char lady :rotfl::rotfl: OS Festival next summer, no cool music, but lots of money saving tips, tea and cake

So I come home after a long day out and Monna has hopefully sold her house . NM and son have a real viewing booked for Friday and Karcher's bags are packed . How did all that happen ????

Sending the positive vibes to Monna and NM for both outcomes . Some patience to Karcher , you'll get to the island soon .

I think I need to make a brew and calm down . It's a good job I wasn't drinking one when I caught up on todays posts or I may have finally finished off this poor laptop with a mug of tea on the keyboard .

Glad you feel a lot better NM and Islandmaid , I have cat envy now . They look so cosy and relaxed . I miss my mogs .

PS I did notice your post Mar , guilty as charged re the elephant . Hope you're a bit warmer today .

Ooh, good luck with the houses NM and Monna!
I have my fingers crossed for you both xx

Well today I took my car in for a service then had a walk into town for coffee with DH and later met a friend. We all went to see Paddington2. It was entertaining and we enjoyed the lighthearted humour. I made discreet enquiries and my friend has not seen Paddington1 so that's a Christmas pressie I can put in her stocking.

I got a text this morning from an unknown number, just saying, 'your lemon marmalade is delicious, thanks'. Now I have [STRIKE]forced[/STRIKE] given some to several people so I was at a loss but when we got to the cinema I saw one of my clients who promptly asked me if I'd had her txt about the marmalade! Good job it's OK, I'm putting jars in a couple of hampers of HM goodies:)

MMF Home made marmalade and Paddington are the perfect combination .
I was waiting outside our M&S last Friday and they were showing the Paddington Christmas ad on a big screen in the window . I'm not normally a fan of ads but watched it over and over with a big smile on my face . The duffel coat was like a real one . I'm sure people thought I'd lost the plot !

Well I've watched it a few times online polly.

monna I did not mean a porch I meant a verandah to sit and watch sea if I send it to you.

Nursemaggie my fingers and toes are crossed for you re the house. Hope it is everything you want / need.

pollyanna_26 · 14 November 2017 at 10:38PM

NM That house sounds perfect both for how near work your son will be and having the farm shop for you to pick up milk . I'm so happy you are finally able to both go to a viewing and will be thinking of you on Friday .
Have you had a word with your present and former landlords about a reference ? From your posts the present one must be used to tenants moving on . I'm glad you had a good sleep last night and wish the same for tonight .

Thank you all so much for your good wishes. It's so comforting to be able to share my excitement with good friends.

Islandmaid, I love the idea of the OS Festival. I can just see Red Funnel and Wightlink ferrying thousands of OSers across the Solent, backpacks and tents, (and nanywindow's caravan) attached, safetypins flashing in the sunlight, rollingpins sticking out of 'bags for life', knitting needles and crochet hooks and tongues clicking away merrily, jars of jam, cakes and recipes being exchanged, islanders preparing for the siege and barricading themselves in their houses......

Who needs the Bestival.

Thanks for the offer of the bungalow nursemaggie, I've always hankered after a verandah. I'm sure if you posted it recorded delivery it would arrive in one piece. I have everything crossed for your viewing on Friday.

I am slowly coming back down to earth. If everything goes smoothly I should be moving on February 1st.

However, there is Christmas to organise first.

The THOUGHT FOR TODAY is getting earlier and earlier, but as it IS today, let's get on with it.

Be the reason someone smiles today.

Just caught up with all your fab news.

I really hope the sale goes through and on time monna, it couldn't happen to a better person. Now the search for a bungalow for you. If there are any you have seen, whether for sale or not, we could come 'en masse' and persuade the occupants to leave!

Well done nursemaggie, sometimes you just have to go for it, good luck with the viewing.

monnagran · 15 November 2017 at 9:09AM

Camelot, are you talking hefferlumps, dustbin lids, rollingpins and sharpened knitting needles?

Ooooo-Ooooo-er!
