Cate in NZ Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 They might get a little confused by the ranks of eglus Gina... can you imagine them, checking out every green one until they find one that smells like home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Ahh, bless! My new 'minnies' are like that; they keep walking round and round the Rablu wondering why they can't get in any more They still can't get used to the Eglu as their home and Fleur hasn't laid for a few days now.

Guest Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Judging by the photos, there's plenty of room for all of us to pitch a tent. We could do it under cover of darkness, and then in the morning shout SURPRISE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 You lot! I go away for less than a day and you've all moved in. I wouldn't bother if I were you. We have no broadband - so, no forum! The poor engineer form BT has been at the farm all day for a 1 hour job. We were told that there were 5 lines to the house so changing over our 3 lines would be no problem. Wrong! The previous owner buried the cable - over 130 metres of driveway - but didn't put it in ducting. Only 1 line works and we need 3. More engineers came out, then the manager.......... There is a big hole in the drive.They all went home at 6.15. Although we have no phone here at the house - broadband still works because no-one has disconnected it yet. We're really behind now because we had to help to sort out the problem. We'll catch up eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken on a mission Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Oh my word Hopefully you'll get it sorted soon but don't worry about the forum, who needs it (loads actually but lets gloss over that little problem) if we are all living at your gaff anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trish Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Yippee Lesley. I can't say I'm not jealous because I'm so Green I glow inthe dark I guess there'll be hiccups like the phone lines but they are the best to type to have because they are in your dream place. Hope things settle soon and you can enjoy your space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel (& Paul) Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I think that mel tried to start a party up there when Lesley first announced it, but she didn't get far - you might fare better with her otherwise occupied. Tell you what COAM, I'll distract her on Saturday and you can sneak the wagons in the back way One of Mel's weasels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
