It just shows that perseverance pays off...

Thanks!!!!
Really thankful to my husband. He kept telling people and this was a relative of someone he told. We had put an ad in the paper twice and had no luck...well someone with three pre and teenage boys and a big dog. :eek: I told him the yard is very small as are two of the bedrooms. He passed.

Well done from me too, brizzled. I could do with some of your luck/ perseverance. I really need to sell a week in my cottage very soon. We have never known such a quiet July. Maybe some local ads might work like an ad in a local paper.

Hi all :wave:

Lovely to meet the new folks - very honoured to have you subscribe lubava..thats some marathon diary reading session..I sometimes go back to the first few posts and wince..but here we are

Hard to know what to do pooh - how about Twitter or a FB shout out?

I do think perseverance is the key with this renting lark. The current person is lovely, really friendly and helps with loading dishwasher etc (always a plus in my book)and i have good hopes for the second one who joins us in August.

Must go and cook tea but before I do..

- today DD1 and I have spent 4.5 hours :eek: decluttering in the study..paperwork from 6 jobs ago, old mortgage application forms from 1999..wedding paperwork from even earlier...you get the drift. Very cleansing and there are 2 whole washing crates full of paper to be recycled. PLUS that which I am keeping now all fits on one book shelf now too, so we are getting rid of one. Maybe freecycle again? We shall see. The next phase will be starting my company accounts..but having a breather now and heading off for a drink with a good friend later..the 5:2 day is on hold Took DD1 to a late lunch to say thanks, she was excellent company for what is a pretty tedious job.

Have just done a PC survey so thats another £3 bagged. TCB has slowed, but good sign in some ways as means I am purchasing less!

Chicken Thai Curry for tea..drowning in homegrown courgettes and greens, so a good way to use them up. Chooks laying well too. Very pleased.

Another day off tomorrow...if the weather keeps up I will be thrilled. Glorious today even though I hardly saw any of it!

Love to all

Things sound nice in Bizzleland.

I love curry but DH doesn't. I think I'm going to cut down on the spices except the heat from peppers, which he does like, to see if I can get him to eat curry.

We do really mild Indian curries like a Kashmiri lamb one and some lentil and veggie Dhals which are really mild as DD2 doesn't like the heat. They love them - real go to meals in our house. Anjum Anand recipes. She's a fab cook.

I agree with Brizzle Pooh, can you put something on FB for the cottage? I'd gladly share for you Xx
