riane Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Hi all, not been around much since July. Our new house is finally geting sorted and we now have a comfy sofa to sit on and a internet connection that lasts more than 5 minutes. We have had a very busy summer working on the house and land. We have been clearing the hedges and filling in the gaps. We planted 21 trees on Saturday... We have also got a sit on mower which is great fun trundling up and down cutting the grass. The diggers are moving in in a few weeks to dig out a parking area and level a few lumps and bumps where we cant get the mower. The chickens love it and we are setting up a animal area for the rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens. So we have resisted getting more animals until we are sorted to prevent to much moving around. But I dont think I can wait too much longer as the cube keeps whispering to me everytime I open the omlet website...buy me!! I have invested in a roomba to hoover downstairs and am keeping fit running up and down the other two floors with the dyson . (lived in a bungalow before!) Now I have gone back to work (summer went far too quick!) I have got a cleaner in to do the bathrooms and kitchen, we have 6 toilets now! Its a full time job just checking they are flushed and the seat is down. Anyway its been great catching up with you all. Sorry I misssed the Manchester meet it looked good fun if rather wet. Eglutine please call if you are visiting Clowne! Or any of you are welcome x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 That all sounds lovely especially having 21 trees, the house must seem huge after a bungalow it would be great to have a ride on lawnmower! you lucky thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimmyCustard Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Thats another thing I cant live without, a sit on lawn mower! They call to me every time I go in B and Q, although as our garden is only 100 feet long, I think OH wont go for one (spoilsport) The trees sound lovely as do your 6 toilets.

One Man Banned Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Glad to hear you're settling in well Sit on lawnmowers eh? Just finished working for my best friends mower business - got to drive loads of them, and fell off the ramps with one on Friday as they were wet, brakes stopped it a bit quick and it slid off - a moment of....."I hope the customer can't see me now!!" I longed for the day of moving to a big house with lots of land, but our circumstances are a lot different now with my partner (ish) and I - I've got myself a flat above said friends mower shop and the outdoor mower storage area!!
