Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 If I disappear for a few days, I am not dead, dying or seriously ill (not so far), I am just moving house. BT are booked to come Thursday to sort of a phone line for EE to connect my Broadband, but don't hold yer breath. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Bilbraborn, Hope the move goes without any hitches and that you settle in quickly. Just try to remember which box you packed the kettle; tea bags and bickies in. Best wishes and thanks for letting us know. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bilboro-lad 294 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I hope to be moving in the next 3 weeks too. Why does it take 3 months to sell/buy a house? Does it take 3 months buy a car? I'm only going up to the top of Carlton Hill though. Anyway Bilbraborn, I was born just around the corner from you in the same sort of house (as you know) so I hope I get an invite to drop in one day to have a nosey and a gossip.

darkazana 1,736 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Good luck with your move Bilbraborn. Enjoy the unpacking where you discover things you had forgotten about, and things you wonder why you ever got in the first place Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firbeck 860 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Best of luck with the move back to your roots Bilbraborn, stressful time for you I'm sure. Give us a couple of weeks notice of the Housewarming Party, just so we can all be there! That house got used to some noisy parties and goings on in the 60's, I'm sure the neighbours will be different now, otherwise look out if 'You get up to No Good' under the blackcurrent bushes.

Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Latest report. My Broadband hasn't been set up yet (predictably). I am in and things are looking good, but it will be a few months before we are settled properly. Kitchen and bathroom both need doing and I want to redo the garden. I am using my sons braodband in his barber's shop in Bulwell. As for me, I must have lost a stone in weight. Why is furniture so HEAVY??? I have trapped all my fingers. Dropped everything on my poor toes and scratched some of thne paintwork. But we are HAPPY!! I am at present sorting through boxes and putting loads aside for charity shops. Some furniture has had to go either to charity shops, friends or the tip. By the way, anyone want a display cabinet. A bit old fashioned but it is OK. Thanks for all your messages of support. We can relax a bit now. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Ayup Pete. I noticed you are on-line right now. I have just sent you an Email. And yes I remember that party. Lucky I went Youth hostelling with Phil Heath to South Wales the next day so the trouble I was in with my mum and Dad was a bit diluted when I got back. Mind you it was some party.

StephenFord 866 Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 We too are in the hilarious throes of moving - to Shropshire. House we were planning to buy fell through on the day contracts were to be exchanged. The seller of the house our sellers were buying (got it?!) rang them that morning and said he had decided he wanted more money. They predictably (and rightly) told him to go and play with a hand grenade. So he pulled the plug. We are now living temporarily in an annex that some friends are lending us, pending the purchase of a different house (i.e. back to square one). Our temporary quarters are fine, but in the deepest countryside and the wifi is a bit fragile. Hence my limited contact as of late. Hope to be back in full circulation shortly (whenever that might be!) 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Nice to have you back Stephen. If it's not too personal a question, why did you want to leave Dawlish. I'd give anything to live down there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
