21 days to go!!!

Grandad at the new gate!
Well, up to seven followers already! - soon there will be hundreds, we think!! Well lots has happened since our last post - Jane has found someone to rent her house, and thanks to the skills of  the bloke living in the shed, the back garden now has a lovely new gate. (Makes it much less draughty too). Meanwhile there have been a number of attempts to attach the new loo seat - following attempts to glue the old one and wood-fill it. Mr and Mrs Meanie then went out and bought a new one.(Well Mr Meanie helped her carry it to the car) Meanwhile we discovered it cost twice as much to book a train ticket for the pair of us to visit Robins mum as it did to hire a car for four days - shame the car is a rollerskate size.We have had thirty two attempts to produce our final itinerary but we think that is going to run and run - its growing like topsy and will need a suitcase all of its own. Still the lovely weather this week has meant we have been been able to get out on some great afternoon walks in the sun.


 
luvely car!
Meanwhile the number of offers on Robins car has risen to a mighty none - yes none not nine! How can they resist -offers on a postcard please (sensible offers only -all others will be ignored!) Meanwhile Olly is holding a giant party with his website on the 1st April - he says its to do with music and a surprise pop band - nothing to do with us leaving on that day! The job of getting yourself out of a house continues, particularly when dealing with telephone companies - Virgin media very kindly offered Robin a refund of 3 pound and 6 pence (which they said they would send him a cheque for) and to let them know if it hadnt arrived in 60 (sixty) days! - theres a technology company for you

  1. I have a very sensible £324.23p in my piggy bank (well it's not a pig but who cares) and the car looks better than mine so would you consider my offer? If you stayed at home you wouldn't be having all these problems you know and would be richer by at least a toilet seat and you wouldn't have to worry for 60 days about £3.06p which I'm sure Mr Meanie is fretting about already! Looking forward to seeing you both on the 19th and hoping that you haven't turned grey by then!! Anything I can do to help - answers on a postcard to Hazel Grove. x x
