    Aaahhh, how sweet.
    All our pets are buried in our garden except our old Weimmy. It was a sudden-ish death and in our hast and because she was a great big bit of lard we decided the vet should dispose of her.

    Actually i've always regretted that and wish she was here with us(well at least near us)
    Both our sons talk about our animals at the bottom of the garden, and the youngest went on a mission one year to dig them up, fortunatly we couldnt find any remains.

    They seem a loving couple and doesn't seem as if they have any plans to pull out of the sale. In fact I think you are in a better position now if the survey doesn't come back quite as good you as hoped for.

    Have you spoken to your Solicitors about this? It would be advisable before committing to all this as it could have repurcussions later on in the sale.

    You need a black zippered body bag for the Dog just for added frisson when the Neighbours start curtain twitching!

    Or a carpet and copy the crappy coronation street story line.

    The ponds got lighting around it??? That's gonna be one fancy grave!

    You don't have to worry about foxes digging up Fido, I'd worry more about the Ebayers digging him up after the link When Is The Reset posted :)
    Some days you're the dog..... most days you're the tree! :D

    I would offer them bacon but we only have danepak.

    Oh I am so worried about tonight though. Hopefully they will just get on with it.

    Checked the pond again, this draining job seems to be taking a while.

    Bacon ? For goodness sake, get the barbecue fired up and do a full Korean for them :D

    Quick update (I am afraid I am in the dog house)

    I didnt tell my OH fully about what is going on tonight. She has just come home and for the first time in her life wanted a bath there and then. Took one look at the Koi in the bath (one has died) and went mental. She says that I am a F*****G idiot for agreeing to this shenanigans. Then as women do, they uncover the next issue which was the garden is semi flooded as I have almost drained the pond out.

    She is now not talking to me and has told me she is going out tonight and by the time she gets home she wants everything back as it was. She said she was not going to sit there tonight eating tea with strangers walking though the living room carrying a (in her words) "a poorly packed supermarket dog".

    In my haste to assist i completely forgot this dog is supposed to be dragged through my sitting room tonight.

    I am getting emotional now. Yes there is a funny side, but she isnt talking to me, I am gettign the blame for "bending over backwards", the garden looks horrendous and is sogging wet and the fish arent coping in the bath. Why doesnt our nearest and dearest realise I am not doing this for me, but just helping.

    Sniff.
