    Ok, just spoke to the woman, she's accepted our offer, we're picking it up tomorrow!! :j :j :j :j

    Gosh, I'm so giddy like silly child at a birthday party :rotfl:

    Partly because it's got guinea pigs on it, partly cos it's not going anywhere near the limit of my budget :j and mostly because it means I won't have to go through all this fiasco again for another five years at least!! :rotfl:

    Now - which party was I going to again??? :rotfl:
