    Thanks :)
    LL: did the chicken have garlic with it by any chance ?:)
    Get well soon anyway .

    Must be losing my memory. Today is weds ,and it's a week today since I
    moved into the flat . Must say ,I feel great . Just washing and drying the clothes at long last .:)
    This morning I phoned the gym to change the time of my induction .
    This was because I had my track suit bottoms in storage .
    Went to Poole to get some more . Went almost straight out again yo the gym . Now I'm washing clothes . This day is going fast .

    Bottomless gym visit = scary :)

    Looking on right move . Saw an end terraced house £235k .
    Just out of my price range . Still I'll keep looking .

    No-no - go and look at it to see if you like the style/area. You are in such a good position that you can always make a cheeky offer if you do. But it is also a good idea to view a few properties to get a feel for what you like. At least that's what Kirstie and Phil say on Location x3.


    Well done on getting to the gym (fully covered). The first step is always the hardest.
    I've just got in from Christmas shopping and it was quite successful in that I managed to get a few bargains, and tried all the new perfumes out so smell wonderful, if a bit confused.

    Ac. Definitley go and take a look. If you like it then make them an offer. They can only say no.

    I did that recently. The agent said no they won't consider it. I said fine no problem, it's on the table you know where to find me.

    Had a letter from EA this week. They have put my offer forward. As we speak the vendor is now weighing up my offer.

    I will not be going any higher. Obviously there are no other interested parties at the moment.

    They sell to me or they don't, either way I'm not really fussed.

    Houses are a bit like buses, nothing for ages and then three all at once. Or in the case of houses, often more than three.

    I'm biding my time.

    No not garlic chicken but boy do I feel delicate. :(
  • Once you've got a bit of fitness under your belt, you could aim to join your local Poole Parkrun. Its a free 5km run (*) at 9.00 a.m. on Saturdays.

    (*) You don't have to run, it can be walked - as slowly as you like, there's no pressure.

    You just need to register in advance to be sent your barcode.

    Whilst I haven't joined my local one in ages, I've friends who run / volunteer regularly and its a really friendly bunch.

    I think contacting Kirstie and Phil is a great idea, AC. Your situation is unusual and interesting, imo. Do they do singletons, though? They may well, I just don't remember an episode that did not involve a couple.

    Chicken is clucking nice, when it's cooked properly/fresh. Don't know what the problem was with your chicken, LL, but can imagine there may have been some fowl language...

    Garlic is also nice, if you like it and are not allergic, AC. I may ask if OH would like to grow some next year.

    Too true it's interesting - just picture the viewings. One man and a bus load of women :rotfl:. Actually, at the very least we should get LL involved, me thinks she'd give Kirstie & Phil a run for their money :D. Fancy a new career on the box LL ;). Once you're off the bog that is :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
