No US...had to go out most of today.....but it is a 'family tradition' to decorate over Easter lol so will try and get on with it tomorrow

xx

yeah right (sorry to sound so cynical lol)

lol US well I have a lot of demands on my time...one of which is a 12 year old...say no more!

xx

meet me at the station, underneath the clock
carry an umbrella dont stop to talk
the man in the homburg hiding in the fog , is watching

buy yourself a rticket go through the gate
7 45 exactly don,t be late
if your being followed keep on walking


buy yourself a paper , take a look inside on page 27 theres a picture of a bride

underneath a stoty of a man who died in morroco

memorise the story word for word
the man in the homburg understands the code

dont talk to anybody there all around you

give him a brush then sorry in one of my bolshi moods at the minute

don,t mean to be so short, but had a bad really bad day

oh sorry you've had a bad day US...

don't worry you weren't being bolshy or 'short' ...

son does do decorating with me lol...he began when he was 3 ...he did the bottom of the walls and i did the top in the kitchen lol

xx

it,s all about moving, yes we are going, end of may

wife wants to save money by doing it ourselves, me i,d rather get the removal chappies to do it all.
so she,s in a strop and won,t talk, shes not talking , so i think i,ve gone deaf (lol).

what was the song rose

Sorry Us...back lol....it was Al Stewart ...

re the moving....several times we have done the move ourselves (brother hired van) ...last time we had a very well known removal firm do it (though we did all the packing in boxes) ......

the removal firm sent too few men....they were less than helpful or careful...and I really wouldn't use them again.....

but you pays yer money and you takes your choice.....try and get a recommendation from someone who has used a local firm maybe? Good luck!

xx

How about trying this tack:

"you, my darling, are very precious to me"

"Moving home is well known to be the most stressful of times"

"I so much appreciate your kindness in trying to save us money"

"But your health means much more to me than mere money"

"So, I must insist that we sacrifice a few quid in pursuit of your wellbeing, darling"

Worth a try?

lol Sue...devious! xx

thanks for the advice rose , it,s such a huge house to move (if you know what i mean). years of memories, that nobody wants to chuck away.

my record collection, staying, wifes doll collection staying , popcorn maker gone. seriously i,ts a f******G nightmare

I know...it was the same here....loads of china , pictures, books etc etc....it isn't easy at all ...whatever you do, make sure you get insurance and pack the best bits really really well!

xx

thats going to be sorted after the iminent divorce ony kidding

devious - moi?

Funny about the popcorn maker. how many things do you all have in the house that were bought on a whim and used for a week, only to be put awaY/

I'll offer a couple:

A Breville toasted sarnie maker. A week or two of toasted peanut butter and marmalade; toasted sardine and old socks or whatever the Breville recipe book had to offer and then - the loft.

A footspa. Three whole weeks of baby soft feet and then - the loft.

Oh, and the bread maker. OH had to have a bread maker. Making bread is apparently man's work. Washing the bits up afterwards isn't. Now, where shall we stash this breadmaker?

Lol Sue

with me it was a anthony worral thompson grill that would not close properly on sausages.

a footspa that was lethal on anybody with feet size 11 or over.

a jamie oliver marinade shaker that i could do quicker my self. oh and the piece de ristance a gizmo for slicing veg , when i have a 30 year old mandolin wich does the job far better.

In the loft there is also .......... an Anthony WT grill. Gone and until recently forgotten.

Do you reckon we could sell this lot to the Ruskis?

Lol Sue
