In other news, we got rid of our old bed yesterday, a leather sleigh bed that cost the best part of £1000 ten years ago. In spite of my best efforts to give it away, nobody would take it, so had to cut it up with a circular saw and take it to the tip.
When we got there, someone else was doing exactly the same with their leather bed. They may have gone out of fashion a bit, but what a shame that nobody would take it.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

We've arrived in Sheringham, and the local news is that a new public toilet is to be constructed in Lusher's Passage. Sounds very uncomfortable.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0

If only you were closer, I would have had it like a shot as I desperately need a new one!We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

Anybody with a few minutes to spare could do a lot worse than spend it reading Tobias The Terrible. Available free here:

Damon Runyon wrote a whole series of short stories about Broadway during the Prohibition. I've been ploughing my way through, and Tobias is the best so far.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
He was great for writing stories only in the present tense. "So I am walking along on Monday and who do I meet but Fat Sam and he says to me "On Friday I am meeting... and so on".
Brilliant stuff!

Pastures (ill delete if you want), I don’t get why people waste time like this.
I may if someone is desperate (and in a position to deal quickly), but not in normal circumstances.
Good luck ‘soon’

Let's suppose you make lots of very low offers on houses. There's a chance that you catch one of the sellers just at the right moment, when they are very keen to sell. Perhaps the sellers have just spotted a bargain themselves, but they have to move super-quickly.
You might expect the sellers to drop their asking price in those circumstances, but then they are stuck with the lower price if their bargain buy falls through.
In any case, a low offer is not an insult. It's just an offer, and very welcome as such, even if you have to turn it down.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
I've never heard of this before. EAs would always meet us at the premises.PasturesNew wrote: »That's what I said to the agent.... "I don't despise her for trying it. She tried, she didn't get a bite... I doubt we'll see her again".
He seemed mightily peed off, having met her and, it would appear, having carted her about in his car (not met her at the property) .... because "she expected" to be ferried around.

Same here, but things may have changed. Suppose that someone works in the city centre and takes the underground to an area he doesn't live in after work. The agent picks up from the station and so can show several properties in one evening.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0
