Hey Beth

I got my St. Joe this morning but can't go and bury him yet as you have to say a prayer and don't want to look silly in front of the neighbours LOL

YAY......exactly the same as mine!!!!!
Said both prayers in the kitchen......then wrapped him in the bag, took spoon out the front, have no garden so was digging around the gravel he's now up-side-down, facing the street as suggested
Problem is if any of my kids kick the gravel they will see his butt sticking out as I hit concrete about 6 inches down!!!!

Hope he works.......carrying the prayer card in my pocket!!!!

Thanks hun - I have chased and chased and phoned and grovelled and smiled and pulled strings. I can't sit around doing nothing. It is the only way we are going to sell if we take control over from the EAs - they don't give sh!t for us.

Yep, I am having a positive day. A Positive Mental Attitude is what I have right now. I think I may even do some cosmic ordering.:

Great idea - I sat and sent my thoughts out into the World. Might be working now.

If my hair turns out a disaster I'm going hunt Beth down.
I know where she lives.

That's what I was thinking too. Does your padded envelope smell funny - mine does. Going to bury the poor thing later - haven't told OH as he will think I have finally flipped.

Mine too - some person in the USA is making a big profit out of us lot. We should start up our own UK business!

I have the same choice, gravel drive or verge on the lane - in full public view... going to feel a bit of a 'nana here.

That's a good idea, I'll put it in my purse.

Good luck to all of us!!

Yesterday OH came home from work and reckons he's been zapped by a mobile speedy. He reckons he was doing 60 in a 50 zone. Bloody men why, oh why.

But the good news is I'M GETTING MY HAIR CUT TOMORROW. Sorry needed to shout that bit. It's been a long time coming. A full cut and colour and I'm very excited.
I'm with you on that, i have been so down that i am having a weekend off of worrying....will return Tues!
Getting my hair cut is the only break i get from the kids. I go to an academy where they are still learning, but you can pay for a graduate..they are a lot slower and it takes around 3 hours...they do great coffee too!

Ooh, just as i was typing this have had a property developer at the door, wanted to look around, i sent him to the agent. I'm all up for cutting agency fees out but i'm on my own and there are some real freaks out there......

PMSL Beth

My DD1 had a massive car accident yesterday near the M25 roundabout in Enfield. Both cars a write off and both drivers were in intensive care, she was the passenger. She must have been the luckiest person around as she came out with just a stiff neck!
Mind you she is moaning a lot
Oh my god I hope everyone is ok, I hate that bloody road. I go round the long way to avoid it.

Great news on the st Joes. Think the workmen outside my house thought I was burying drugs when I put mine in the pot (excuse the pun). Lets hope we have lots of sales now

Hope you feel better after the break. This stuff really messes with your head.

I think you were sensible to send that guy away. If he is genuine, he will go to the Ea if he doesn't then he was either trying to do a crafty deal or something worse... gulp.

I wish mine had useful skills like that... I suppose he can fix the PC.

You lot are all lucky I'm not still an Approved Social Worker - I'd have you all sectioned for sure

Burying statues in the garden? Carrying prayers around in your pockets? Arranging cult-like triple burials? Sounds like a mass outbreak of pseudo-psycho-stress-related-hysteria to me

Forgot to say - need another rant about the rental EA for the other flat. Rang them on Wednesday to ask why it wasn't online yet. They promised it would be the next day - takes time to load blah, blah. Anyway, I check this morning and it's still not there. So I rang again and somebody else said it hadn't been actioned and all it took was a click. The lazy cow I spoke to was lying. Now have to wait until tomorrow to see if they load it. If it doesn't load then I bet they are shut til Monday...

It is still up for sale and they said next week is a good week as it is half term and lots of tourists will be in town.. let's hope it sells rather than rents. although, renting is still a good option.

Sorry still can't multi-quote, think I have cocked the computer up somehow.

We have just had a burial It was really funny, OH came out with me and dug the hole and then got down on his knees while I read the prayer (we have got big bushes out the front so nobody saw us). I was p***ing myself laughing. Now if this doesn't work northing will
