Is that the one that was on the telly? The one that was on the programme about building houses, the one that didn't go to plan?

During the crazy spell at Sandbanks we'd see a multi million pound property being built, then sold a few years later only for the new owners to demolish it and build another. A friend was a site manager on one refurb down there. He had the owner come for an inspection, he decided he'd changed his mind about the multi thousand pound bath and scrapped it for a different model. This involved hiring a crane to take the old one out 😮

It's not bad I suppose, why don't you buy that one as well, could use it a holiday home.

With Mates Rates for us old farts

That's the one.

This place is just 2 doors along from the house I was born and spent my first 12 years in. Solid houses and deceptive from the front as they are bigger than they look. I wouldn't mind living there again.

What's wrong with using the proper verb: preparing?

antidisestablishmentarianism

I love tardis houses like that, nothing from the outside but amazing once you get inside, seen a few in my recent searches.

Lovely day here. Houseworky stuff done. I have a cake in the oven and Mr WD is playing around with weed in the pond.

He was looking on ebay yesterday and hornwort pond weed is really expensive for a couple of little bits of it. We have a pond full of the dam stuff.

I see it even has a cat flap although I'm not sure Molly would venture out now even in a quieter area. I would be a nervous wreck if she did.

That'll narrow it down

I got rid of our pond because I was sick of constantly fighting weed.

Bloody Evri have got to be the most useless delivery firm out there. Just had an email to say my parcel was delivered to me at 11.15am...........eh, no it hasn't and I've been in. God knows where it is. This seems to be happening constantly here just now. I've stuck a post on our local page in case someone else has got it and is honest enough to let me know.

Hi Mo I have to agree with you, in my area the drivers third language is broken English
