    Should you find yourself in that situation again, I've got a freezer big enough! £50 and it's yours :rotfl::rotfl:

    Will you throw in those vacuum bags off your nan, as well?

    Hilarity aside :rotfl:, I think the OP's daft for allowing it - I'm afraid I would have politely told the buyers that it wasn't acceptable and that they would have to put the dog in a freezer until the house was theirs, or get it cremated.
    I just can't believe that the buyers would even ask - there's nowt as queer as folk! :eek:

    As long as you take all the duvets, dodgy old curtains and goodness knows what else that's in them as well!

    The buyers OH is a builder so i think he will have thought of it (TOPSOIL). Now I am thinking about this, it is a bit rude to assume I would turn over my pond to them on a whim this morning but anyway the Koi live another day.

    Now I imagine them turning up with a mini digger later on :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I've got a great solution to both problems. There are loads of good websites that you can use to search recipes by ingredient! I like the sound of Roasted Carp with Pancetta. I know the carp variety isn't quite the same but I'm sure it would go great with the dogroast!

    There are some days you can never imagine that within 24 hours someone's dog will be nestled in your garden. Roll on 7pm and hopefully they will be done quickly.

    Do you think i should drain the pond now? I assume get a piece of hose and suck the end and let it run out?

    No, let them sort it. You've already been inconvenienced enough.

    You haven't seen the curtains :eek:

    OP: Let them drain the pond! There will be loads of sludgy crap at the bottom that a)you don't want a mouthful of and b) will need shovelling out and that definitely isn't your responsibiliy _pale_
