You do some amount of washing! I could easily go a week without needing to do a wash.

Yes, but theres only one of you, theres two of us plus I get extra from the caring side of things, I washed three machine loads Monday and will do one load tomorrow, that will be it for the week unless theres an emergency of some sort.

Morning all

Estate agents coming around at 11 am to photograph our place and run through their contract. Should be on the market tomorrow.
MrsD told me to stop looking at other houses, on pain of death, once we'd found somewhere, as it pees her off.
So, last night she sent me this!

Thats way outside my price range and a bit too remote, nice though.

We like remote, but it's very handy for the nuclear power station.
Same price as ours.

Is anyone else here a member of Which? I'm trying to decide if I should continue my membership, it's £153pa which is a lot. The thing that brought it to mind was the last monthly magazine. I found myself irritated by rather simplistic journalism and several articles reporting the blindingly obvious. On the other hand the reviews can be very useful before a major purchase like a phone, white goods or car........but how often do I make those????

Would it not be better, for your bank balance, and the environment, to just visit the Library and look uo whatever it is you want to buy, in the local Library? The Which Magazine may even be available online, from the Library?

Edited: Just noticed @Tenkaykev beat me to it

I could live even further out given half a chance.

I like remote, but at 70 and with a dodgy ticker its better to be somewhere with easy access to facilities.

Have to admit, I’m even starting to think ahead. I sometimes long for somewhere quieter and more secluded myself then realise that, although Crieff is a reasonably big town, it is still rural with lovely walks and quiet roads minutes away yet I have supermarkets, doctors, chemists, etc within walking distance too.
