OK, it seems like you're moving all the time (though thinking back I'm sure once it was one of your children).
...Because I struggle to keep up so much, what are you doing with the house you're leaving? Has it sold or is it another to add to the GG property empire?
We will do as a holiday let this summer then hopefully let long term.
We are in - still some stuff to move but all important stuff in situ (though not necessarily the right situ :rotfl:). No internet, we haven't even ordered it yet :eek:, so in pub. Trouble is it was dark when we left the house so we couldn't see the sea
. Poor us :rotfl:.

Ay up Gally - hope you are well
I realise that you will be forcibly holed up in t'pub as I type, either by the demands of wi-fi access, or in serious support of the local soccer teamSo I hope that the drop o' red or GnT is going down smoothly for you
I just wanted to let you know that I was thinking of you this weekend, and most especially wanted to give a big 'Leeza Ta-buck' stylee *BIG UP* to the orange growers of your adopted homeland :T. Al-diddly-dee have bags of oranges in their S6 this fortnight, a bag of 5,6 or 7 fruits for 59p. They are absolutely LUSH. All the bags I have bought thus far have 6 good sized fruit in them, the oranges have been sweet, juicy and tasted of orange (I know that sounds daft, but I also know that folk will know what i mean). And no, I dunna work for this particular supermercado - but like to give credit where credit is due
