My appeal is in! Just surprised I haven't been caught before if this has been going a long time.

Good luck.

I received one of these from a carpark in an area I was working in......... I wrote to them stating have you seen where I live... what the heck would my car be doing in xxx carpark.

It was over 100 miles away and in a backwater.

I never heard anything else from them!!

I did an un-PN thing

There had been a bungalow for sale, £300k, reduced to £290k, "sold" within a week, back on the market a month later, it sat there for 1-2 months and was removed.

Yesterday .... I drove down the road. I parked. I got out. I banged on their door

They're no longer selling. "No, we are well busy with it now" the man said.

But I did it

I should "mailshot" the rest of his road I guess....

Three cheers for you dear PN! Great that you were able to be pro-active.

Fingers and toes crossed for you finding the perfect home for you.

Cyber-hugs from Wales.

The reason we sold our last house was that someone put a letter through our door. Not having agent fees to pay was a lovely bonus.

Popped over to storage for a few bits and bobs.

There's only one thing more depressing than having everything you own in storage and you're not sure what's in most of the boxes and you CBA to get to the bottom one to see if it contains the mug you're after .... and the more depressing thing is "90% of everything you own is old tat"

Didn't find the mug; it's not a big issue.... but the mood definitely drops when one thinks "pop to storage"; I can only face it on a dry day for starters.

Nothing new of interest coming onto the market. A few "you almost made it to my list" have reappeared, or dropped in price this morning. One I'm not that interested in dropped £30k and it's still overpriced.... and one's dropped a further £15k (down £25k now) but I don't like the plot size/location.... it's a "good buy" for somebody who isn't so bothered that it's "right beside the field the gypsies randomly camp out at + up a creepy corner + right by a footbridge over a main road where ferals have been known to drop things on passing traffic". In fact, that one, including for location, is still high up the list

90% of everything everyone owns is old tat.

My most favourite things in the world are old tat........ most of our stuff is packed up and in low cost storage taking half the garage that we are about to move into when I pull my finger out and get our current house rented out.....well decorate one bedroom, and then rent it out!

Tat is memories, it is comfort.... keep things you love x
