Seems we all think the same way about selling houses and all the frack that goes with it. <BR/><BR/>Don't worry, henry, it was just a lovely fantasy. We;ll have lunch in spirit instead. Not sure I could see you stuck outside while we stuffed our faces - tho' i suppose we could sit the other way - only joking xx Have a lovely holiday. <BR/><BR/>Do you know that Elizabeth Taylor short story where her and this bloke have been penfriends for a long time and are virtually soulmates and then they meet for lunch - and its a complete disaster. They don't know what to talk about or anything. And as soon as he leaves, she writes him this fantastic letter. Well, that could be us. <BR/><BR/>Mind you, Marie, if you've got Good Housekeeping, i think you should come round now! Sod Elizabeth Taylors morals. Haven't read that for ages. yes, i wish you lived nearer too. could do with a hug actually. the cat's not the same really. <BR/><BR/>It would be interesting to know what magazine or paper people would bring to our fantasy lunch. What about you, Suburbia, MMM and FF and Elaine? <BR/><BR/>Good suggestion about the pub by the way, Elaine but you can't smoke in 'em anymore. doesn't feel so welcomin now. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for dropping by again, Scriptor, yes, i will definitely apply that to the next house, i tell you. God Grief, S, how many blogs do you have? I struggle running this one! I take my hat off to you <BR/><BR/>xxxxxxxxxJennysmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176560381292594341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961311232482181969.post-75260872110829146832009-01-29T13:12:00.000-08:002009-01-29T13:12:00.000-08:00Oh Jenny ! ! !

It's always a bit awkward, I think. Whenever we've sold a house, I've always had to do most of the showing round and had to show a man around by myself, on one occasion. Never thought much of it, until we got to the bedrooms, then I suddenly felt uncomfortable.

It's therapy really, away from these bleedin' essays. <BR/><BR/>I'd much prefer to look round a house without the owner being there. You know,they stand there saying things like 'and this is the kitchen' and it's clear they would rather be a million miles away and you feel a bit inhibited<BR/><BR/>Is there not an afternoon movie you could catch somewhere? Then you could tie in all the viewings with the cinema showings.<BR/><BR/>xFrench Fancy...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04941577892849157015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961311232482181969.post-28146905094885880632009-01-29T04:34:00.000-08:002009-01-29T04:34:00.000-08:00Oh yes, D, that Facist rag as my Husband calls it....Oh yes, D, that Facist rag as my Husband calls it. I couldn't stomach it actually, ended up reading a People's Friend. <BR/><BR/>Thats a date then , Henry, will meet your mum and Dotterel down there for a slap up lunch about 12 noon next week (you name a day). You know the place, its the one on the corner. Dotterel will bring his own Guardian and your mum can bring a mag of her choice and I will bring Viz magazine. <BR/>Trouble is, i don't know their policy on dogs. You may miss out. <BR/><BR/>Yes, we're all miserable. Do you remember that song by Pilot? January, sick and tired, you've been hanging on me.........
