    Well there's a surprise then.

    No doubt they'll be back only to find I'm not in then too.

    I wonder how long I can string this out for.
    But no-one lives there and watches telly there, so there is no money for them.

      Assuming Zeity is doing a good job making the house look occupied* they are not going to know otherwise so best to string them along until someone knocks when you are in and can tell them they've been wasting their time..

      * don't do this by having the TV display real time broadcasts or iplayer though...

        What's the plan for the house, zeity?

        Finally got mother's flat sold, but for a lot less than it was valued at. Still - it's done, and hopefully the new old lady will be happy there.

            so the useless clientco German has discovered I'm on holiday in 2 weeks time and has now revealed he's off at the same time.

            Shame I know his holiday booking was made after mine was announced and before his boss found out he was needed...

                Splendid!

                It's fairly mild out here. Cloudy, but the nearly-full moon is managing to shine through it

                  Pork spare rib steak for tea, with chips and beans

                  Staying up after unleashing the bins this morning is catching up with me - I may not stay up as late as usual tonight

                  And some other person re-locked the gate before I went out around half ten, though after the recycling bins had been emptied, with the result that the main bins didn't get emptied at all

                  Though it's also possible they just couldn't get the bin lorry up the side road, which is currently in a right state while a water main is being replaced. I had to manoeuvre through a very tight gap between an unattended wheelbarrow and a big hole in the ground to get the car down the road when I was returning home at lunchtime.

                    Strangel Pork Spare rib for me - Mrs V went to Tesco & picked some up from the hot counter.

                    Eaten while dancing to 'see you again' (Miss V#2' choice) & Barbie Girl (miss V#3). Whilst drinking the last of 4 pints of homebrew mild

                      Got a valuation for probate so I can go ahead and fill in some more forms.

                      The current theory is that the ZeitNephew & his wife will buy it.

                      How valid a theory this might be is debatable. really.

                      I suppose I could buy my sister out & rent it to them if push came to shove and there was a problem with getting a mortgage.

                      Glad to hear that your mum's flat is finally sorted.
