Re: House selling in the UK and silly offers
Hi Jen. My doors are like that! Recently painted all the ones that the agent says I need to/that I can be bothered with. Can I humbly recommend one of those mini rollers if you`re not using one already? I found it slightly quicker and a lot more fun. You can turn it end on to get into the awkward bits! Don`t bother trying to clean it, though. Either buy a few or seal it up with plastic bag/clingfilm/tin foil when not using. Have fun!

Re: House selling in the UK and silly offers
Two men contracted to paint a small community church. Being very frugal, they pinched and scraped to spend the absolute minimum on materials. Then, when they were only partway through the job, they determined that they did not, after all, have enough paint to complete thejob.
Not wishing to spend any more money if they didn't absolutely have to,they decided they would just dilute the water-based paint they were using so that it would last longer.
They did this a couple more times before theyfinished, which caused striping on the church as the paint got lighter each time it was thinned. The painters had just about gotten to the top of thesteeple, when, all of a sudden, the sky darkened, and the rain started topour down. As the paint streamed down the sides of the church, a voiceboomed from the heavens: "Repaint, you thinners! Repaint, and thin no more!"

Over here in NI they call freckles 'skitter japs'. A cow does 'skitters' out of its back end, if you stand too close, you get 'skitter japs' aka freckles! *SIMPLES* lol

Jen, all makes sense now...
Never been called that before! Delightful Rusholme/Moss Side borders, where the English summer sounds of the thwack of leather against willow and the birdsong are replaced by the thunk of a football against a wheelie bin and cats fighting...
