We got snow this morning

Wasn't expecting that at all, looks lovely but not so helpful for our first day back at work of the year. Just seen Clare off to the station, she's shuffling carefully towards her train right now and hoping it's on time. It's apparently not going to ...

Couple of Habitat Radius bargains (in Oxford)

Habitat radius TV cabinet and a Habitat Radius coffee table, sitting at a tenner each right now. If you're near Oxford this could be a deal for you...Really looking for one of these to come up, we need another bookcase, though that price has gone up ...

If Port Lympne are applying for the license I don't think there will be any problem with them getting it

The issue might be getting bands to play, after what happened last year. If none of the same people are involved then I expect big bands will start to sign up, but obviously punters are going to hold off spending the money on tickets until either som...

Splendid weekend of comedy, food, double dinners, and everything

Great weekend. As an intro though, specifically for the people from work who mentioned they had found this page recently - at no point did I drink too much and become annoying, I am a fine upstanding member of staff. Probably you can go back to work ...

Why's this Habitat Radius furniture always so far away?

Five drawer tallboy, starting at fifty quid, but it's in Cheshire. Will most likely end up waiting until we move and then buying another one of these new. It's going to be well handy having tall and slim furniture when we move from the big wide flat ...

"Not Heals"

A pair of carvers, Habitat Radius oak furniture. Cheeky description there "Not Heals", I've not thought to look for Heals oak furniture on ebay. �99 for two, would be �320 new, not in as new condition but collect from Brighton, that's doable. If I ha...

Weather report part two

Ferocious rain woke us both up in the night, a proper downpour again. Clare got the fear that the weather might have resulted in our pilot light going out (it happened before), which would mean waking up to cold showers, so I got up to check on it. W...

Crikey spikey

Best off for the console table was �150 in the end, I think someone paid too much for that. It comes down to where you live though, I could pay fifty pounds more for a piece of furniture I wanted that was in Kent than I would if it was not, just to s...

Buy it now, �175?

We got our one of these for about �110 in the end... I guess that one will go to offers, not bought anything like that before.Is the time right to sell my pushbike? I want rid of it, I've never used it, do you want an as new Raleigh Chopper and can y...

I am outbid

I figured out how to get the furniture I am after couriered down from Preston with the help of a really cool website (that I have temporarily forgotten the name of) where you advertise what you want doing and all sorts of couriers and hauliers and ma...

Bidding's going crazy on the Bergerac Oak sideboard

9 bids so far, up to over 650 quid, looks like being not such a bargain for me when you take into account getting it couriered down from Preston. Still no bids on the bookcase but I expect that'll pick up today or tomorrow too. Interestingly (well, r...

Stuff I want!

This bookcase and this sideboard, good starting prices on ebay, sure to go up to about 3/4 of their shop price though anyway, and how do I get them from Preston? Do I organise a courier? What's that cost? Collecting them myself would be too dangerous...

John Lewis Bergerac Oak TV Stand

This is what we should have got when we bought our sideboard, maybe. I am in a quandary still, I don't like the open shelves, but I do need access for DVD players and things.. This one is too high a starting price anyway, it's being sold by a busines...

Habitat radius wardrobe doors back on sale

99p starting bid, pick up from Wimbledon, only one set this time though, what price did they go for last time? 62 pounds for two pairs looks like....

Bidding's going crazy on those doors

40 quid and rising, don't think I'll bother... to be fair I do still have spare kitchen units cluttering up our hallway which I can neither be bothered to use or dispose of, so the last thing we really need is more timber about the place....

Cheap Habitat Radius wardrobe

We want another one of these wardrobes, but they're proper expensive. Do you think I could just buy these doors and somehow cobble together my own? Or maybe I could change the door on the built in cupboard in the bathroom and have some sort of styli...

Console tables, like busses

We waited ages for the right one to come along, wonder if this one will end up less than we paid......

Where did that go then?

Where did the last 10 days go? We're back at work tomorrow! Spending today much as yesterday, slobbing about and recovering from our new year party. I think it was a success, though I seem to have flaked out at some point - if I phoned you and was in...

Space Cadets

They're all actors aren't they, this "biggest hoax on tv ever" is going to turn out to be a hoax on the audience surely. I really wanted to lay into this, but I didn't see enough before we got bored and put some Frasier on instead. I will look in aga...

More furniture

There's another bit of the furniture we've been buying gone up on ebay:i14.ebayimg.com/03/i/05/68/62/67_1_b.JPGNot sure why I didn't get an email alert about that, not sure if I'll bid either. Looks a bit wonky to me, as if it's been knocked about, o...

Yeah, but new it's 500 quid

I know, as we just bought one... it's really nice stuff though, mostly solid oak. I didn't bid on any of these auctions in the end... Hello again, why do you never sign in / put your name in the name box?What you up to? Anything exciting? I am format...

It could be the top of a sewer

But I could see the layers of brick in cross section, and there was more "solid" beneath them. I hope it wasn't ALL shit, though that would explain the whiff.
