What Did You Find Whilst Clearing the Loft!?
I think there might have been a post about this recently - can't find it.
Anyway, we had the day off to sort the loft out yesterday and the best things I found were -- a burka and a real gun holster - with a water pistol in!! (both from when I travelled in Pakistan just in case you wondered...). I think I'll leave the burka (really difficult to walk in - BTW I'm not wishing to offend by that statement..).
Also found some mounted butterflies (grim I know - was my great Unlces hobby
). Can I take those? Not sure I want to though.
Good news is - managed to get Adam to box up his 80s videos for the car boot
Well, apart from his Erasure ones :scared:

Have you sold now ? Last I heard your buyer had pulled out.

However, we do have some viewers tomorrow. I'll give them another week or so then sack them. We will probably go out Jan/Feb anyway - we're ready to go now (well not on the organising side of course!!).Congrats with your TRA BTW!!

I can't believe the trouble you're having selling - that's been ages now. Will send you karma for tomorrow.

My Sister phoned me fron Melbourne the other day and said that my nephew ( he is 4) was just like me and all he was interested was guns and she tried to blame it on me? I don't think that when I said that a spell in the army like me would cure him of it went down to well.
I will try to get him interested in golf when we go to live with them in November.
