    Good you got the veg box. 

    I get what you mean about not wanting the possibility snuffed out. 

    Best of luck with it all. Glad the dentist went okay and the pain has improved in your back again.

    You left your offer on the table, just keep looking at others and if nothing else pops up in a month or so, whatever you're comfortable with, call the EA and ask they follow up to see if the seller will now accept it.

    Veg box goodies were great!

    Oh ok, thanks.
    Yes, I agree that sounds like sensible  :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Thinking of you and sending positive thoughts your way.
     Better to get these things over and done with, it will let you move on with your life, hopefully pain free once things are sorted. ((((hugs)))) XXX
    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy
