We've had a busy day selling stuff!

I think I've had enough - 3 white wine with the BBQ - the men are now watching footie (in August). Just wait - they won't see so much in BC - I hope

I'll have a cup of coffee and some pudding!

Got no fish in my pond now - all sold today - I'm quite sad but couldn't take them on the plane and the buyers are filling the pond in and they would have flushed them down the loo

thats murderJames got a email from a company in SK and they are interested in taking James on march-april next year but not going to jump with joy been there before and the offer fell throughso will hold back the real drinking untill we are singed and sealed.so its coffie soon for me

Oh Kate - that is really good news

It will all work out for you - it would be great to see you move to Canada

Stick to the coffee then you can have a REAL BOOZE-UP when the job is sorted

PS I couldn't have slept if I thought they went down the loo

we had 24 koi carp and a heron came and ate 20 of them if I had caught the dam bird I would have made it spit them back out:ROFL:the fish were 5 inches long so the bloody heron had a party and the sucker came back the next year after we got more koi carp and ate 3 so we gave them away to kevin's befriended the pond now has been filled in and 2 bushes placed in each side:thumb down:so know how you feel.where is Steve tonight I guess I bored him to death:ROFLr maybe he is still covered in bruises

We've got to sell our koi too, some of them are really big 20inches. Where did you advertise them or did you let friends have them?

Oh large voddy please, this de-cluttering is hard work

hi have u got a mud slide? had one in canada 2 days ago and loved it, got a VERY large deluxone in TGI Fridays in Niagara, it had icecream and chocolate drops in it as well as the vodka, if not ill have a carona light with a slice of lime taaaaa,it was a great trip, next time i go it will be to live!!

YEAH woman now its another party soonnice one

We advertised them in the local Bargain Pages - as they are "pets" you have to pay for the ad. We had put the "fish problem" on the back burner so to speak and then suddenly had a panic midweek! The ad came out on Friday and some lovely people came over from Wolverhampton yesterday - they were here 3 hours as we had to empty the pond. They also bought one of my acers - added bonus. I was happy to let the fish go as I knew the buyers are really keen on fish. They keep quite a lot of koi as well (20' x12' pool).

We have had several calls since they sold - a lot of interest about.

We have had problems with herons - our house backs onto a nature reserve with several lakes so they are always flying over. I ended up having lots of pots of acers etc round the pool so the herons couldn't land/take off. Someone we know of had a BIG koi set-up and arrived home one day to find their £2,000 champion koi expired on the patio! A heron had tried to get it but it must have been too heavy so had been dropped!! It would have broken my heart
