    I was banned too!

    The gist of my post was :
    • smashing house phoebe.
    • Rumlet, behave!
    • both the garages I use here are honest
    Dare I put a smiley?

    NO, apparently! :-(

    When we were newbies & for the next 26 years we could say the same thing. Unfortunately, they don't necessarily stay that way. :(
    I risked the smiliie.

    Sometimes the 'dream' doesn't last long...

    This one sold exactly a year ago. Since then, a load of money has gone into it, and now it's back with a £15k increase in asking price.

    Let's hope they won the lottery or something....

    Sometimes it's money. Sometimes it's health. Sometimes it's a change of circumstance like, say, divorce.
    Whatever the reason, it's always a shame when people find their particular dream is unattainable.

    I've never known a time when so many of the local properties (both business & residential) were all up for sale. It speaks volumes about the extra problems of rural living....... & the ruddy awful weather. A good number are probably trying to shift while the sun shines :rotfl:

    I just been over on another board, and it looks as though things were going awol for lots of posters all over mse.

    I have changed my setting thing to basic/standard to see if that would help.

    it was basically

    ITSME... you vent off here all you like, ( I do it enough times lol)

    Rummer take care, and don't worry about finances etc, things will work out ok.

    going to start looking out for old scaffolding boards to make some raised beds etc, ready for next year..so hopefully next year everything will be fitting into place at the ranch.

    Davesnave... I dont know if I have asked this before, what is the diff between a greenhouse and a polytunnels in growing terms? I know you can grow practically all year round in a poly, but why cant you do it in a greenhouse??

    Hubby was looking at ploytunnels last night ( want to put a smiley face in here), up until now, its been me looking at things for the garden, but now it looks as though he is starting to genuinely interested ( well ok being a little bit nosey)
