Good morning again! Yes, estate agents tomorrow for photographs. So much for us to do. I am dreading it. Need to find a conveyancing solicitor. Friend passed by and told me that his friend sold the house and yet the same estate agent still holds onto the money and refuses to have the paper work through! I'm dreading it. What if the sale fell through, would I still be charged! Nightmare! He told me that this family will move to Lowestoft (very far) with the purchase of a house £150k and they would be in instant credit. £££££ Just the thought of it makes me happy. I don't want to live that far though!

Some friends of ours moved there about 20 years ago, it is a lovely area... Is it too far for you, I thought you were thinking about Wales?

I'm still hunting for that elusive envelope!:banghead::inpain:

I will go wherever on the same latitude and with a stream or brook .. not to be flooded or washed away by the North Sea though!

Morning , cloudy and drizzling here. Looks like a cold weekend / week ahead I am not prepared for winter yet :unsure:. I wonder if the dahlia are going to get blacken this time

Saved two Pelargoniums yesterday out of a customer bin got 19 cutting and 2 plants worth out of them ( I did ask ) :) I'll have to bring all the pelargoniums in the house soon, I left them in the GH last year and lost all of them. Got Fuchsia blacky in the troughs which I need to take cutting from, it the same plant from last year I stored them dry over winter and they sprung into life all of a sudden I thoughout I'd lost them.

House is for sale a few doors down @alp ;) You'll have to get used to the wind and rain and more rain though :)

Oh dear @Perki that's a shame losing them all, mine all get placed in the unheated greenhouse and cold frame . I do throw a double layer of fleece over them when it's a particularly cold night ,but so far I've kept them going now for 5 years.....I've probably jinxed things now;) The same goes for all the Fuchsias too(y)

I tried to make the new thread an interesting one and in between copying and pasting and saving the pics in the wrong locations, was delayed in putting in a link. If someone wants to find something, they will find it. After all, it's a well designed site. I have had no notifications before, but I can always find the threads to post and find new threads. I was only a bit delayed. It's not easy, copying, pasting and change file formats from psd to jpg... LOL!

NOW THE THREAD IS REALLY CLOSED!
