Kaz, sure, I'll get the passports sorted, but in my experience the mess more than they clean

Di, quiet day only meant doing half the washing, all 5 full loads.

Good morning all.

It's lovely here this morning. Just back from having a short back and sides at the barbers,
and doing a bit of top-up shopping.

Ally - If you don't know what to do with all those pears, you can send them to me - I love 'em. :lol:

We might pop out this afternoon and get a few more plants for our adopted garden.

Morning all :D

Bright and sunny here 8-)

Good luck this afternoon Kaz x

All of you energetic peeps are welcome to come here and help with our packing :lol: We tried not to unpack too much when we came here knowing it would be temporary, but after almost a year, I bet there's more to repack than we think :roll: Panicking a little bit about where we're going to put it all in the bungalow until we work on the storage (or lack of) situation, have a feeling a lot of it will end up in the garage for a while :?

Hope you all have a good day :D

Right at the end of Baker Street (Regent's Park end) is where I was. You had 221b Baker Street (always choc-a-bloc with Japanese tourists :lol: ) then the Abbey National building society was next then a pub.
Turn the corner right there and it was Park Road - the dental practise I worked at was number 7 in the most beautiful 5 storey house. We were on the second floor looking right into Regent's Park.

I recently googled (aka being nosey :lol: ) at what the house might be worth and it said £1,570,000. :o :o :shock:

I know Roger the owner bought it outright for a song in the 1970s! :shock: :shock: :shock:

I think we've realised before we worked right near each other, but you were later?
Think I left there in '78 or '79...gosh it's a long time ago! :shock: :D

We had a netball team, we used to play in regents park :)

You two (Ally and Di) worked in the posh part of London, I was in a gigantic government building on the borders of grimy old Acton/Shepherd's Bush :roll: :P :lol: :lol: That's now been made into posh flats though :shock: I saw them advertised in the S Times property supplement a few years ago, apparently it is no longer so grotty and grimy :P :lol: :lol:

The interview went well, I've made a new post about it. Thanks everyone :)

Funnily enough, I spent quite a lot of time in East Acton. I worked in insolvency, one of our liquidations was out there :)
