Hmm - I would sell my 'project' if the right offer came along - perhaps I should stealth market it on rightmove through one of these cheap online agencies and see if I get any nibbles or is it only worth doing if done properly?

Why not? What will your new, high maintenance tenant say?

I wonder exactly how stealthily and cheaply you can market. What about carving off your potential bit of the garden and selling the house as is and seeing if you can get the same price. Or you'd have to demolish the extension?

Wouldn't fit through mine either.
Chewy, can oh have deliveries at her office?

I am afraid we use dh's office as a sort of PO box

Amazon will accept different delivery addresses so it could definitely be sent to someone's office.

I did try Superdrug at the weekend - it was just as expensive. I haven't got time to buy on line either. Rubbish!

Buy it when you're there? If it's warm enough for sun tan lotion they'll probably sell it at a reasonable price........ unless it's mid Sahara, of course

You must have a very small letterbox if it's too small for a bottle of sunscreen.

Depends if it's a round one.... and how they package it.

The ones I was looking at on Amazon were Nivea. 200ml, and a fairly flat bottle (if that makes any sense at all?). It comes in a sort of cardboard envelope.

We don't have an enormous letterbox and that sort of thing goes through.

Some are stupidly small though. Maybe chewy and you could measure your letterboxes so we can compare

Dead risky, that, I reckon.

In India, the only places you can buy suncream are a few very upmarket shops in the biggest of cities, and they charge a lot more than in the UK.

Omg, its one thing to get them to measure their santan lotion bottles and other packages, but I think respected letter boxes should be left out of this. We're hardly going to suggest they get different letter boxes just to accommodate their lotion.:eek:

Sleep is good for you Lydia. If you need it take it. .

Did the kids feel the benefit of the meal? What other times of year do they see those grandparents

They come to this part of the country twice a year (his birthday - May - and the anniversary - November) and take us out for a pub meal each time. We go there for two days and one night some time around Christmas, usually some time in the summer holidays, and often Easter as well.

Whoah! Trying to catch up!

First day I used de-icer today. I should check by looking out the window before I set off so I could leave enough time for the spraying and scraping.

Got to go out later but not looking forward to it. We only got the central heating working about a week ago and now the house is too comfy to leave at night.


Envious of lj's Public Service Broadcasting concert. I know someone who went to a concert in Brum the other day, a band called Mott the Hoople and guessing not many here will remember them.:)
