Guest Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I just got off the phone to Omlet after they phoned to say they have a recon PURPLE cube for me!!! The anti chicken first broached the idea and was going to phone them to chase it up but they called me - she doesn't even know yet! And she's paying!!!! Oh where to put it???? The handyman started the next extension to the chicken run today - its going along behind the compost corner and then incorporating the old greenhouse - we ordered a lovely new greenhouse Saturday. At last PURPLE I think my next call had better be to order some more girls!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bexiboo Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 That is great. If you don't mind me asking what sort of discount do you get on a reconed cube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Great news Pengy - does your credit card have fatigue? It's not too bad. Mum has spent some serious money in the last couple of weeks, paid for a couple of cruises, a new greenhouse and ordered a wooden playhouse for James' birthday too. She can't take it with her when she goes - I'll just make some more to keep me in luxury in my old age! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 She can't take it with her when she goes - I'll just make some more to keep me in luxury in my old age! too true! If she enjoys spending it and lavishing it on others - then good for her. I would be like that if I had loads of money (which I dont). I enjoy spending my money on others ...which is probably why I dont have any!! congrats on the cube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I'm happy to see her spending it really. My Dad worked hard and saved for most of his life - in retirement he was still frugal and didn't buy lots of the things he wanted, that money had to last him and my Mum (who was younger than him) through a long retirement - he was very healthy for a man in his 70's. Then he got sick, it was lung cancer and by the time they found it he was past treating. I always told him he should spend his money as I would only buy the Jag he always wanted. Weell I havn't bought the Jag but I still threaten Mum with the same - she had a good sum of her own as well as Dad's money. Mind you as I type this I'm watching Panorama and hearing about the credit crunch - and how its affecting property. My nest egg is going to decrease in the immediate future but I will try and buy another investment property when the market bottoms out.
