It's 7pm. Any other lovely nice people celebrating the fact it's still daylight? great, eh?

The chickens are, certainly. They've been helping us prune the rest of the roses. (Almost finished that job for the year). We've just been celebrating we didn't get the very dheavy rain promised early today but rather a drizzle starting this evening. we got loads done.

we've finally decided holiday dates and it will be great. we've of the radical move of a 10 day rather than the max five days we've managed before. This is great excitement for us! I'm getting excited and its six months away :rotfl:

Areally sweet person from the fashion board, where there ar LOTS of nice people less argumentative than us, sent me a gift which I'm circling like a bidy of prey but not opening till my birthday.

I'll see you your cold, raise you a family outbreak of norovirus and why not...go all in with a we are moving on Wednesday and have barely started packing due to the adverse health circumstances. Of I forgot - how about a side bet on the builders still only being half way though the knock though and bathroom refurb with only 2 days to go...

Anyone believe in Karma? - I found a tenner on the floor at work on Wednesday and handed it in rather than pocketing it which seemed to be the trigger for the kids to get norovirus and the builders to run in to problems...

I read something, somewhere about Karma and it sort of stuck.

It went a bit like this....... Karma is the universe telling you not to be such a !!!!. To begin with, you do a little wrong thing and you get a little wrong back. Ignore it, keep behaving badly and the consequences get more and more extreme until you are forced to change your ways. Or you're dead.

It also works in reverse though. Do something decent and it will eventually come back to you ten fold, usually just when you need it most.

Checks and balances. It made sense to me.

Good luck with the move:D

Buddisim is the religion I would' do' if I was religious.

'Do as you would be done by' is my mantra. And man has it kicked us in the a $$ sometimes...cos other's don't always play by the same rules.

However, everyone who has ever wronged us in some way has had it bit them on the buttt eventually.

Thanks Pobby for the offer, I had been thinking of seeing what I could pick up second hand and cheap but guidance would be very much appreciated...what I know about keyboards would still leave a lot of space on a postage stamp, so I haven't a scoobie on what would be important and what wouldn't.

I feel incredibly blessed that he is very musically inclined...not only can he play drums and keyboard but he is also a dab hand on the guitar and a decent singer. The guitar is easy to sort out as he uses my old acoustic which is now the grand age of 33 years old (my parents bought it for me when I was a child) plus youngest has an electric guitar (3 way present between me, my parents and my brother for his birthday last week....the whole kit and caboodle for £69!)

Michaels - Sounds horrendous! Hope everyone is feeling better soon and everything gets sorted on time. I usually believe in karma working the other way round, I do a good deed and get rewarded (not in a financial sense, even just a cuddle from youngest son, they are like gold dust)...I'm too scared not to do the good deed because I also believe that if I don't, I will get punished in some way!

Lir - I have had the questions starting about what I want for my birthday next month, especially as it is the big 40 and I haven't a scoobie what I want. I don't covet handbags or shoes, I love books but don't like the idea of people wasting money on full price ones and they don't tend not to have the time to put the research in to get them cheaply...I'm just not materially minded.

So any suggestions (but they have to be budget minded as my parents are not big spenders), would be very much appreciated.

Sue, I think I have a keyboard the brat got years ago in a cupboard. I am fairly sure I haven't binned it.

I will have a look tomorrow and if I think it could be of any use I will get back to you

EDIT It was about a hundred quid a few years back. I don't know if that is any use as a keyboard.

Yes, we were glad to miss that rain too. We've had a man with a digger all weekend, DW has had fun on the 4 tonne dumper, while I've...... err.... grovelled around in mud, I suppose!

We had a huge mound in our market garden area that we nicknamed 'Silbury Hill.' It was about 40' long, wider than a bus and as high as a room. That was the result of ten years mucking out, plus general depositing of 'stuff.' Anyway, we dug into this mound, took the best material into the field and levelled the rest across a 50' x 35' area, which is now flat enough to take our new polytunnel (when the Planning Permission comes through.:D)

We were so lucky the former resident was 'organic' or maybe we'd have found something truly awful. As it is, we only have a couple of tonnes of mixed material, including bricks, tiles, a boiler suit, carpet tiles and plastic sacks, a good few hundred plant pots, netting, sheets of rotten Onduline, polystyrene chunks and many children's toys. Add that lot to hundreds of pieces of wood and about fifty bale bags and you can understand why I have been grovelling about in an effort to clean it up. :mad:

Thank God we insisted on them removing their ten tonne lorry, horse trailer and scrap iron collection before we'd exchange contracts!

Why is it that, wherever we go, DW and I always seem to be re-enacting the Battle of the Somme?

Got it in one Sue. Deffo second hand is the way to go. If you post or PM me with a few details, what you want it to do, the price you want to pay I will have a look for you.

Good luck for the move. Glad you found a builder, didn't your last one go AWOL?
