Bertha is a delicious name.

Kiwi found what I presume is a mouse hole this evening and is now a very muddy little man. it was his first attempt to dig after vermin in a serious manner.

Bertha reminds me of the children's TV programme. Which my brother and I used to LOVE.

Funnily enough, our favourite episode (think it must have been on one of those compilation videos, or mum had taped it off the TV) was where Bertha was supposed to be making jack-in-a-boxes, but things went a bit wrong, and she ended up making mouse houses.

I think I'm still in shock.

Hardly surprising. You've gone from zero to full on in no time at all. Most of us have at least 6 months of traipsing round houses we don't like/ miss out on and trying to be pleasant to all manner of undesirable EAs to act as a warm up.

When I got the news my offer had been accepted, I went back into the office and everyone thought I'd just had some really bad news because the I had gone quite pale and couldn't get a sentence out for a good couple of mins!

Apparently I looked even worse the night I got the keys :rotfl:

To keep with the theme of pointing out flaws, the Norwegians also appear to be from Jamaica.

My mother's too! And my Granny's.

Welcome Better Days. Are you Jewish, a scientist, and do you live in Herts?

Thanks for the welcome Sorry no, no and I live in Suffolk

Just browsing back a bit chewmylegoff we got a mortgage through FD last year. Was very useful being able to ring up and not have to go through a call centre and FD staff knowledgeable and helpful. The only hiccup was that they decided to 'review' the mortgage offer between exchange and completion. Goodness knows why but did manage to get it sorted in time.

Was on YouGov earlier and they had a survey about which countries should be able to join the EU - including Morocco, Kazakhstan and Israel. I am wondering if Europe has been redefined while I wasn't looking

Better days, , Suffolk, round these parts, would be " greater Herts"


Essentially all the nice people live in herts. Even in oz ...aka some thing like

South herts on sea.


We wonder every once in a hwhile of we have a disproportionate representation of some grouping or other.....herts, Jews/shacked up with Jews or science is one of them. We all either like or dislike mushrooms,

Ah thanks LIR
This thread feels a bit like Dr Who - bigger on the inside than on the outside, parellel universes, alternate realities but not quite so much running around, however I've seen no Dalek's ..... so far

Better, a couple of posters were referring to their composting darleks over the weekend......

I don't watch dr who, but bigger on the inside is right certainly. Nice people are an amazing group of people.

I'm running on adrenaline I think.
Solicitors advise they can get surveys done (not just valuation survey). Am I better to go with them or engaging my own?

Will be speaking with broker tomorrow to get that ball rolling.

I want to start packing now...
