Is it just me????
Over the last few weeks I have been selling off my worldly processions ready for the big move and was just wondering – am I the only one who gets complete fruit cakes knocking at the door?
For example I sold my fridge/freezer, washing machine, sofa’s and beds. One lady told me she was coming round to pick them up – as promised she turned up, in a Polo, and worse than that bit of outstanding planning she really was convinced she could fit everything in the back of the Polo – in one hit! Had to get the tape measure out to convince her she could have problems otherwise she would have had my furniture out on the street ramming it into the back of this tiny car. Actually I should have let her try, I’m sure it would have been quite funny to watch.
Am now trying to sell my car and whatdaya know a whole string of hat stands calling up asking the most amazing questions – am just waiting for someone to ask how many wheels its got. (5 being the most obvious answer)
So………eh, is it just me?
