Don't want these northern hussies leading our good southern lads astray!
....)Trust me, pooch was very bold with those girls
.. he hasn’t ... ok hadn’t .. a bold bone in his body
One idea, if your local supermarket has a machine to pop all loose change in ???I think I’m done on the stash of cash @Marnie63, the 4.5 ltr Bells bottle only had £12 in it, I was fed up of counting as mostly 1p & 2p’s .. it’s going to take a few trips to the bank to get them changed up
Hi @Margi29
I didn’t know the charge went to charity, but I did see that the charge was about 10%, ouch, that wouId have been over £100
Well you may be pleased to know everyone, mums was on X factor last night !!!
She said. ' I've sung, I'm waiting to see if I get into next part, but that horrible man Simon cowell doesn't like me '
Dementia, makes you cry, and these rare times makes me cry laughing
Some banks, if you are a customer, have coin counters, no charge, money directly into your account. (NatWest)Hi @Margi29

I’ve been looking at the kitchen & breakfast room, it’s so dark & it’s never “worked”. A friend suggested coming over & between us we took down some units & filled in holes. I’m going to try to motivate to sand & paint tomorrow.... ... right now, I just want to sleep. I want to go to sleep & wake up when it’s all done & the house is sold. I’m thinking about taking it off the market till after Christmas & shopping around for a more realistic, more web based / driven agent. They seemed a bit put out that I said I wasn’t desperate to sell , but it was nice to chat with him Oh my ..wow I found someone selling bundles of baby girl stuff, oh, so sweet, so cute. I arranged to collect lots ( I think I’ve covered the first 6 months). I was feeling pretty smug. Bargain prices. Then the bomb shell. She had a few other items bottle warmer (ok price), but (sorry guys ), expressor, I nearly died at the price, but when I looked it up, that was 1/5 of the new price. Seriously... people pay that much DiL is delighted. I’m blooming broke I thought I was the only one round here who is up at ' silly o'clock 'I’m at that point where I’m feeling overwhelmed by what I still need to do, but I can’t seem to get on and do it. So, I guilt trip myself into doing it. I arrange for people to visit so they can watch me work. So far, it’s working
I can’t believe that after not even a month the agents are talking of dropping the price by £10k
On a more positive note .. I phoned my uncle & he was so pleased to hear from me, it was lovely to chat but I felt sad that apart from his children I’m the only family member to be in touch. He’s such a sweetheart, I nagged him to do his Physio (he’s broken his hip), we laughed about how medical people are the worst patients
I then took my courage in both hands & phoned G’s widow. His funeral was so close to mums that it feels very raw talking with J. But, it ended up being lots of laughs & I'm glad I called. She said she was just so gratefully & touched that I’d made the trip (how could I not), but also that her children were so pleased I’d gone. I think that drive was my hardest, knowing it was for a funeral, so close to mums. I broke it into segments ... get to @Margi29, then find a Crematorium, I refused to think further than the next step. I remember standing there, making polite conversation, surrounded by strangers & thinking “Mum is never going to believe I did this when I tell her ..” & nearly chocking at the thought that I couldn’t tell her
I’ve then been pulled into present day baby costs
, so I don't think a £10k reduction will really achieve much. However, once a property has been on for a while, a reduction means that it will be automatically re-sent to all interested parties on websites, agents lists etc - so it does work as a bit of a refresh (but then so does listing with another agent!) Good luck. Here I am giving all this advice and my Mum's gorgeous assisted living apartment is still for sale over a year later ... bottom has fallen out of the market for 'retirement development' stylee places. Only a few more years and we will be eligible to move in .. She is the world's best auntie to all her friends' children and can't resist buying the cutest stuff for them.
Blooming typical. How’s your cold? Have you made it outdoors yet?, so I dont think it’s too close. It really depends on why people are moving. Just telling youngest that I’ve seen something gets a thank you Chalk n cheese
It’s fairly neutral decorated, the kitchen feels dark, hence my thinking of slapping a coat of paint over the walls, but it’s livable. I think anyone is going to change the kitchen & bathroom, but that’s taste rather than need. I’m expecting to drop the price once someone shows interest, but not that much so soon, especially as they will want to beat it down further
I think it looks better already. It’s costing me nothing but time, as I already had the filler & I have a 10 ltr tub of white paint. Now I just need to find temporary homes for everything again , my reply wasn’t printable There are always a few chancers & a few nosey ones when selling (didn’t they look at the map?) & the third said it needed too much work A new kitchen wouId be “nice”, but it’s perfectly usable, a new bathroom might be “nice”, but again it’s usable. Painting the bathroom gave me a boost once it was done, I hope the same will happen when I’ve painted the breakfast room, although doing that means I have to do the kitchen too This time it’s more fun as they say they want me involved ... we will see , I’m a bit “once bitten ..”
Although as she didn’t step inside the house from dads funeral to mums, I’ve no idea why she has such an entitled opinion. Even my brother has said she can do one. & it’s his wife
