Sounds idyllic although I am not sure about some of the company you keep...

We opened the new five fold patio door properly for the first time - very nice, DD2 commented that now the outside was part of the house too.

The doors sound lovely , v jealous - we have hidous sliding patio doors.

It is pretty idyllic but as is often the case appearances can be deceptive. Tonight is the 2nd anniversary of the death of my mum so I have been a bit reflective and I have really needed the company of this thread tonight. We have really comfortable garden chairs so being outside drinking mint tea rather than wine and only the backlight of the laptop and then the glimpses of everyone elses lives has kept my mood as peaceful and not sad.

I got my (white) car 7.11.2010.

So I've now owned it for 18 months and done 7000 miles.

So your the trend setter


I thought you got the Juke last Sep :huh:


Got to say that I have enjoyed cars costing under £300 as much as any. I loved the Rover P7 2600 and the Montego Estate, "back in the day".

Silvercar and myself both got white cars on the first of Sep too. I think they were in fashion by then.

Does that include work miles? I have a van for my work and the car is just for domestic dutys

I occasionally (and I mean last week, this week and a week in November occasionally) jump into a 7.5t/coach, but that does include work miles.

That car’s been to the South of Italy twice, Armenia last November and Odessa (Ukraine) for Easter hols.

Probably about 15k of those are personal miles, rest are business.

.

House near me put those on the back on a new downstairs extension that housed a mamoth kitchen/ living area. Just sold for 300k more than I thought it was worth! So you've certainly added value. It also had twigs and bright orange leather settees, so one of those things adds the zeros!

Awww
*hugs*

And there aren't many of those in my posts.

It's sh1te isn't it.... until you've been there you've no idea how the thoughts are always just beneath the surface... all the dates that have more significance than they ever, ever did before.

All the best.

Just flicking round the channels, landed on Robert Peston in a programme about the Eurozone: "As Europe teeters on the edge of an economic precipice, Robert Peston takes a long view of the euro and the cost of saving the monetary union"

Oh SO funny ... and yet so wrong, all at the same time.

Really LOL though

Sorry about the day Spirit. Hope you are feeling ok. It's the first anniversary of my mum's death on 30th May so I know how hard it can be.

Posh alert!!!

I've never even seen one in real life.... never mind been in a house that had them. Only ever seen them on a few telly programmes.

I figure they might look nice on the telly but I couldn't live with them. It'd either be too breezy/annoying, or I'd be having to close them all the time to stop cats and/or burglars wandering in when I wanted to go to the loo. Used to have 4 cats at my last house that used to try anything to get into the house if I simply left the regular back door open and unguarded for 5 minutes.

I need to find/book my next address now.... line it up, so to speak, so on exchange day I can phone them and say "confirm booking".

Thinking a 2 week holiday caravan might be the best option, rather than a hotel. Only trouble is completion is going to be on a Friday and holiday caravans tend to be booked from Saturdays - although it's out of season, so should be doable. Plan would be to load up the car with all worldly goods, drive/arrive, then offload them, so one night in a hotel isn't an option due to security of goods. I can then have a more leisurely approach to locating the right self-storage place to relocate the goods too, while finding somewhere a little more permanent to live.... prices of accommodation are so expensive (whatever you do), it really makes moving and deciding very difficult.
