HENthusiastic Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I'm getting an ! Can you believe it??? I cant Well, it all happened like this........... new girls are due to arrive in about 10 weeks. Me and OH are rubbish at being patient and want them NOW! We do have temporary accomodation for introductions, but it doesn't have enough run space to keep them in for longer than a week or two. So we thought about getting an eglu ...... Spent lots of time looking at prices of 2nd hand eglus, thinking about it and decided NOT to! We can't really afford it and it wont kill us to wait. THEN Mostin texted to say there was one on ebay and her and OH would be able to pick it up for us in a couple of weeks because they will be near there!!!!! Well, how was I expected to resist that??? I pulled over (on the way to work) phoned OH, decided to go for it........ alas, neither of us near a computer all day!!! Phoned Mostin to ask her to bid on it for me.............. shes not near a computer all day Got Mostin's OH's number!!!!! Phoned him........... bless him, he did the deed for me! So what do you recon? Do Mostin and OH deserve a for being so helpful and caring and generous or a for shamelessly leading me astray?

mostin Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 *takes a shameless bow*, thank you, thank you . My OH was the one who spotted it on ebay however, and it was all his idea. I was merely the conduit, I just let the mystical force of omlet work through me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mostin Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Well it might only be two weeks and not 3 you have to wait Hen. We come back down from Edinburgh on the Mon and OH says we might as well drop the eglu off at your house on the way back rather than waiting til the next weekend. If neither of you will be in we can leave it round the back. Let me know what you think. You could get your girlies even earlier then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
