I think that's a 'black water tank' Debs, general opinion is that ours isn't that but no idea as of yetDebsnewbudget wrote: »We had a septic tank that never needed emptying as everything broke down by bacterial action and eventually went into rainwater drains. So make sure what type of tank it is
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Ssssshhhh, keeping a low profile, don't let anyone know I'm in Spain :rotfl:.Hooe all OK gallygirl, long gap in posts.
Don't really seem to have much to update - we have been FAR too active socially which has hit the liver/waistline and bank balance :eek:. Mr GG back to UK for summer tomorrow so will be regrouping and refocusing when he gets back .
BTL sale seems to be going through. That will free up funds to make us mortgage free :T and also free up funds to renovate-alter-kitchen-which-now-is-being-put-on-hold-due-to-uncertainty-over-referendum-and-future.
Speaking of which - what a mess. Has anyone seen Boris? Anyone else suspect he's sitting rocking in a corner going 'oh f***, what have I done, that wasn't supposed to happen'?
I feel relatively relaxed about our own position - in a 'I'm less panicked than I am about the future of Europe as a whole' kind of way - we can take out residency and more or less carry on as before. However I'm not sure what this will do to the rest of Europe and the right-wing tendencies. Also DD says UK already seems a nastier place with people saying very stupid and racist things including 'p*ki's out' - now would that be the French p*ki's or Dutch ones :mad:. I've no problems with people voting out after thinking it through logically, but goodness................ let's leave it at that. Like I said, what a mess.
Still, onwards and upwards A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort Mortgage Balance = £0

Cameron has absolutely checkmated Boris in his resignation speech, where he changed his stance from invoking Article 50 the morning after the referendum, if that's the way it went, to saying it was for the next PM to decide, turning the leadership election basically into a single question of 'If you are elected, will you invoke Article 50?' If Boris doesn't stand for PM, his career is over. If Boris wins and doesn't invoke Article 50, his career is over. If Boris wins and does invoke Article 50, he's going to be Prime Minister during several years of absolute political mayhem.
I suspect he's uncorked a large bottle of gin and is considering his options, personally! His best hope is to stand for leader and lose, but I think that was probably his game plan when he joined the Leave campaign and that didn't work out so well for him...0 -

It was Alex Salmond who drove me mad - every time he was on the TV in the run up to the Scottish Referendum I felt like putting a brick through the screen!
To be fair to Sturgeon, she seems to be the only person with a plan. Not like in Westminster, where they are in hiding, or running round like headless chickens following the lemmings off the cliff!cazmanian_minx wrote: »Cameron has absolutely checkmated Boris in his resignation speech, where he changed his stance from invoking Article 50 the morning after the referendum, if that's the way it went, to saying it was for the next PM to decide, turning the leadership election basically into a single question of 'If you are elected, will you invoke Article 50?'

Yes, that has been an absolute masterstroke from Cameron. I thought it was quite brilliant!Early retired - 18th December 2014

This is exactly how I feel. I feel most angry about the fact that a large proportion of Leave voters made their decisions based on lies or in some cases, ignorance. One chap my DH works with said he was voting leave because there are too many Muslims where he grew up. How he thinks leaving the EU will influence this I don't know :mad: And I have heard loads of vaguely racist comments in good old multi-cultural Cornwall "It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes.
