I read this as 'being outwitted by more FLAPJACK'. Oops.

That's a common ocurrence!

4 and a half hours and the desk is together. People can probably make it from a tree in less than that!

All bedrooms done, well all kids ones.

Children home today after more than two weeks. We won't be letting them go for that long again it is too. long.

DH is back to work on Tuesday. I have got into horrible sleep patterns (+ too much wine) which has to stop.

Quiet day planned and my babies get to see their decorated bedrooms.

OMG! I am sorry I have been AWOL for such a long time. Have caught up over the last couple of days on posts going back to February!

And WOW...well done you...throughout all the trials as tribulations you have triumphed. Good luck for your new job and enjoy your new home...such fantastic news.

Try to have a bit of a relax before you go back to work...you have worked so hard, you really do deserve it.

Lovely to see you! We are having a quiet day today. I am dyeing DD2's curtains.

Me too. It was just. too. long. They are back now brown and several inches taller. They love their rooms.

Hi and welcome. I wouldn't bother...we only made it to the smallholding a few weeks ago and it is pretty light on MSE content...however I have to share this

Our buyers of the old place were proper fussbudgets and quite selfish (for example expecting everyone up the chain to move on four days notice).

They spent the cost of a large first class stamp (68 p?) posting us a bill for the electricity standing charge between completion day and when they actually moved in, a few days later.

The bill was for £1.80 and addressed to The Occupier at the old address. They had taken over from our supplier.

I rang the supplier who said "You are not liable for this we will just cancel it".

How unutterably petty are they?!

misscousinitt

£1.80! I really would not have bothered passing that on. Utterly selfish as you say. Unbelievable. At least it's all done and used now.

Good grief! They're the sort who take the lightbulbs.

I can't wait till you get round to the full deal of getting that polytunnel going. Though I'm glad for your sake you've got the littlies back

Glad for you the little ones are back. Do you have plans for the last week or so of the holidays?

I also read flapjack and only realised it wasn't when I read Apple's comment!

Hope that's the last petty correspondence you receive from your buyers.
