Sounds all good from what I can understand. Which is not a lot. If the risk is only £100, why did you need a guarantee?

Best of luck with it.

Again DQWD.

It's bright, bright sunshine out there, I just realised .... only I don't see it as my house faces the wrong way ... and, here, I'm actually about to close the curtains!

Madness.

Bought the wrong house

ITV, 9pm tonight, new series of Long Lost Family, for those interested in that stuff.

I know I am

Ah b4lls. Both are from "overseas". I'm not interested in furreners' searches ....

1] Bloke in Devon, aged 54, when he was 8 he had a row with his parents and the mother threw an envelope at him saying "you're not my son anyway" - it was a letter written to him in 1960, from his birth mother saying she'd given him away for him to have a better life. He ended up being expelled from 3 schools and kicked out of home. Homeless, jobless, he always kept his real mum's letter and wanted to find her, but all he knew was she was in Singapore when last heard of.
The team gave up as they couldn't find her, but then another woman approached the programme looking for the same woman. She'd been adopted more formally, so paperwork had a bit more. They tested the two for DNA and proved that they both had the same mother.
2] Woman born in South America. Mother destitute in Ecuador, adopted her to a British couple. Daughter's now in Cambridge and wants to find her mum but as it's furreners she got nowhere as she doesn't speak Spanish.
Programme found her easily.

Ha, you've bought the right house. It may not be your perfect dream home (whose is?) but at least you don't have to worry where you are going next, you have neighbours who are willing to help out when you need it and a good selection of shops nearby. You don't even need to live out of a suitcase anymore and can buy stuff.

Plus we don't have to worry about you hearing strange noises (thunder, cows, flapping fence panels etc), outside of your old place... and believe me when I say this, we did!

.... cows ...

That was really bizarre. No lighting outside whatsoever and when they nibbled grass their heads could come under the electric fence and touch the caravan... but you couldn't get out of the field after dark because "they were out there .... somewhere... in the dark" and you'd need to drive over an unlit field, get out, open a gate, drive out, close the gate.... all without a cow escaping.



And, against that, the back drop of the house having been part of a large cannabis factory in the past, where they were jailed and the house repossessed/sold off ... so you never really knew... if ... out there in the dark ... there were ferals who still thought they could score there.

The plant feeders had a caravan in the same field at the time, but doped up ferals would just know "caravan ... field .... round here somewhere".

But ... it was cheap and available!!
Full of wins.

Who has Hive from British Gas?

I seem to recall someone on here does.

I seem to have got a deal on a Hive2.

Sorry silver not me. I don't have gas either, British or otherwise.
