Kaz, that sounds like it will be lovely! Glad that all went as well as it could xx

I'm sure some neighbours still thought of us as 'the new people in Betty's house' when we moved out after living there for 16 years

I'm trying to work out Amazon's delivery system.

We've usually always had parcels delivered by their Birmingham depot. It's around 15 miles away. Occasionally it'll be Stoke. The last few times that we've ordered something though the delivery depot that it's been sent to has been Nottingham. The wellies I'm having delivered today have come from the Swansea warehouse so they'll have come within a few miles of the Birmingham depot yet they've been taken to Nottingham, 50-odd miles away, just to be brought back over to here by the courier.

Just been chatting to a friend from my old work, she also cut my hair. Since I last saw her, she's had 2 boys, got over most of her health problems and is thinking of coming over next year.

Really hoping she can They can have the main house and we'd have the new bedroom.

And the boys would be in the pool all day

And having 3 acres to play in, they'd be shattered each night

The catch on the glass hatch thingy on the car has been playing up for a long time, really have to slam the glass down It usually worked if one of the doors was open

Gave up the ghost this morning. Grumpy pent ages trying to solve it. After about an hour, I rang Sergio to make sure he was at work, then we drove over to Aldeia de Palheiros. He looked at it, got a screwdriver, some spray, there was a bit of muttering and then it worked

We gave him 5€, even though we were only there about 2 minutes
