  • I think the Glasgow Fair is just a local holiday, so national institutions like bank and PO should still be open.

    We got our business mail as usual, so this should be right enough. Hope so, cos I want to use the Recorded Delivery book today at work and not have to traipse to the PO to send my ebay package!

    When I lived in Scarborough as a kid, they called this 'Scots Fortnight'. Some people left town for this! :rotfl::rotfl:

    Just popping in for 10 minutes, listing some bits and bobs on Gumtree in between tidying up. Back garden grass has been cut and a little weeding done before the rain came on. Just the front garden which resembles a meadow now!

    Back to the grind - back soon xx

    A few bits and bobs still to put on Gumtree etc, but a few bits have found their way to be listed:p. Feeling a bit lazy now.

    Back garden is done in patches, front garden remains knee high. Hubby keeps taking breaks to sit on his @rse and read the bloody paper. Raging.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Running round to the Post Office with a few bits and to get something for the dinner tonight as I forgot to defrost something and needed baby potatoes etc.

    Finished the tidying up, poured a large glass of Sauvignon Blanc ;).

    Nice lady coming tonight to collect the Davina McCall step for £10. Had a few more emails about the bits and bobs I listed on Gumtree this afternoon. Would like to do a bit more listing tonight - let's see how well the wine is received first :D.

    To be fair to Alan, he did eventually get off his butt and do a bit more - love him really.:kisses:

    Got an email from Oz this morning, no days off for me when I arrive. We land on the Saturday, I start work on the Monday:eek:.

    Better sleep on the flight. If you're a fan of M&S undies hope you're stocking up before you go. My friend's sister living in Oz keeps giving people undie shopping lists when they go over!

    I'm trying to sell an engineering vice on gumtree and have NO takers. Any tips?

    Have you looked at others on Gumtree, to see whether its priced competitively?;)

    Hi, just unlurking to say that I emigrated to Aus 4 years ago (live in Adelaide). If there is anything you would like to know then please feel free to ask, although you sound very organised!

    The Good Guys is a good place to replace all your white goods, they have a website if you want to get an idea of prices.

    Good luck with the move.
    Mortgage = $277,000/$440,000 Started 29/06/10

    Sealed Pot 2013 = $790.80
    Sealed Pot 2014 = 543.50
