Mel (& Paul) Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 How exciting Lesley - very envious of you but VERY pleased for you too!!!! Will be glued to relocation relocation week after next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 It doesn't look as if it's going to be next weeks, judging by the trailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 No, you're right, didn't sound like it. I watched this week anyway....interesting seeing the barns etc for renovation, but there requirements were driving me (& presenters) mad. Still, perhaps they were making more realistic decisions by the end of the programme.Also, I wish they would focus on one place, not 2 locations for 1 couple. Will keep looking out...

chocchick Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Hang on ....I thought the big topic was buying a dog is it actually Lesley being a TV star? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Hang on ....I thought the big topic was buying a dog ...that's the other thread, Chocchick...as this is The Good Life?, we weren't really off topic! As if we'd ever go off topic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I've got a bigger problem though - I'll post a separate topic - you'll know it when you see it. Lesley did say she would post a separate topic though. Maybe there are 2 big things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Perhaps it's 2 big things...a big smallholding (or a smallbigholding ) and a big dog. Or a small dog, but a big decision. But you're right, the big thing must be the TV prog! PS. Is that 3 big things then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Now there's logic - if ever I read any Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 Only two things - the big/small holding and a big/small dog The TV part is just incidental - the vendors just told us on our last visit thet the farm had been visited by Kirsty and Phil but the people they were showing around hadn't been interested at the time. The house was being built at the time. They changed their minds two weeks ago but we had first refusal and hopefully, the sale is going through.

Mel (& Paul) Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Fingers crossed! I have just pm'd you actually cos I thought it was going to be on next week and got totally confused (actually a permanent state of mind with me really.........) So I should have read all the posts first. Except I am not on the forum for two days and there are MASSES of new posts - so it ISNT just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 We're getting close to Exchange now - although Completion will be a couple of weeks later (the sellers son has to go into hospital and needs to recover before moving to France) Our own house went on the market this week and is in the paper today - no doubt we will be in for a silly weekend - entertaining people who are bored with traipsing around Tescos and B&Q .

The Dogmother Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Oooo, keep us posted Lesley - we'll be there to help. Just so long as it's not while we are away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 It's looking like around the 5th of April now. I really needed the last week in March as my son is starting a major job on 3 April and he comes in very handy for all sorts of jobs - he's about a foot taller than Carl and me. I'd booked him for the last week in March We won't be moving fully then - just taking certain things so that we can 'camp' at the farm and get the plants moved from this house and put up fencing and start the veggie plots. This house will stay furnished to sell but we would have more security issues with leaving the farm empty at night than this house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 We're away until the 10th, but Easter weekend is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Yup! We'll talk about it nearer the time. Rosie is with her dad that weekend, which is a shame, but we'd get more done without her there .Perhaps I might be able to blag her for the day - she'd so love it and the children can go off exploring together.

myles Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Hope all goes well this weelend Lesley. I hate selling houses, some people are so rude and you have to keep things really tidy not a strong point for me. Iam certain you'll have everything organised and it will go smoothly. Fingers crossed for a swift sale Anne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 How exciting!!!! (not that we've seen the farm on relocation as promised yet ) Fingers toes and claws all crossed here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Pleased to catch up with the Plan, Lesley, and wishing you all the very best. Shame if the dates aren't perfect timing for Brad's assistance, but it will be such a relief to have exchanged & then completed. Are you pleased with the ad. in the paper? Very best wishes with all that the sale entails. It's a lovely home you've made, so I hope the right person walks through the door & knows it's calling to them.

Lesley Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 The ad in the paper was fine - it was the online details which they managed to mess up They 'lost' a bedroom It's all sorted now. Here it is......... Dormer Bungalow Residence Four Bedrooms Three Bath / Shower Rooms Well Fitted Kitchen Lounge Dining Room Garage (Sub-divided) Attractive Gardens Open Farmland Views ..........just in case anyone wants to buy it?
