I don't suppose anyone wants a gas fired Rayburn? It was in perfect working order until we turned it off two weeks ago. It doesn't go with the new home owners space age kitchen.

Does that mean you have sold? Does that mean the chancellor has just made it a very good day for you? :beer:

(Our buyers, if they manage to sort out the mortgage, have just benefited by 3.5k)

Except, they don't all work like that. I assumed/hoped the ones I bought worked like that, but they don't.

They're indoors now, so I don't need to find out how they do come apart...... until I replace them and want to sell this old one, which might never happen.

Edit: Just had another look, fiddle, wiggle .... nope, no evidence the drawers are removable by any method that's discernible.

I think it may be some sort of safety measure as the drawers get very heavy when full of filed paper.

I have not bought or sold a house but I am definitely happy with the result of the autumn statement today. My client would not have been!

Someone else is paying me to renovate their new home. Just me. I have put on my big girl knickers and stepped out into the big wide world of self employment with my name on the door.

The Rayburn is on eBay as is the most amazing pink marble topped, plumbed in washstand, like nothing I've ever seen. It might be lir's type of thing, even if just for looking at

Bought this for mater



Don't think its going to fit her. She has quite chunky wrists, I don't. ( even if my arms and hand looked weird how ever I tried to snap it.

So pretty Lovely colour.

It's lovely, lir. When you said a "cuff" I was imagining perhaps a piece of lovely fabric a couple of inches wide, velvet or similar, studded with gemstones.

Glad you managed to ask nice neighbour for help, PN

bugslet If it makes you feel better (or even if it doesn't, I suppose!) I have 3 good O Levels (all in languages) and a CSE Grade 1, which was equivalent to an O Level. That was Maths, because we moved from Scotland to England a couple of months before the exams and I hadn't been doing "proper Maths"; in those days - in that part of Scotland at any rate - you could do Arithmetic instead. So they put me in the CSE Maths set as that was largely Arithmetic. I had to drop some subjects, as the syllabus was different and there wasn't time to catch up.

Oh, and I have a couple of OU modules under my belt too.

Doozergirl My son has a friend whose brother is an architect, and he was re-doing a house and when the new kitchen went in the homeowner asked him to put the fridge-freezer in the skip. He pointed out that there was nothing wrong with it, but the homeowner didn't want it as he had a new one, so rather than throw the fridge-freezer away he took it home. Our son bought it from him and eleven years later it's still going strong


Spirit I hope the walk went well

It was ...and then I got to the OU modules:rotfl:

Wheezy, that lady and I have two things in common and I can tell you wearing a white tshirt on a forklift will mean you end with a dirty stripe across the front of the t. After that, I have nothing in common with her......:p

You can't fool us Bugslet, we've seen your pic! Maybe she got some dirt on her t-shirt and that's why she's rolled it up?


Bumped into supervisor again. Instead of letting it go at 'Hi' I asked if we could find some time to have a chat (my hands and legs started shaking at this point). Which we did. I was very honest. He listened. We have something of a plan.
Thanks for being somewhere for me to vent last night.

There's that one, too. I really can't make up my mind which is better.
