I know that started this brilliant idea so I wanted to carry it on for her and as the forum has become a little gloomy recently as we face loosing them both soon.
So
1. daloni and dizzie outlasted their prognosis by years and I am sure proved that you can have quality of life despite doctors best guesses and we all benefited from knowing them on here.
2. I just got back from a fabulous holiday in Galicia, northern Spain. I walked more than I have for months (chemo pushed me into a wheelchair) the food and wine was fab and I met old friends and laughed a lot.
3. Macmillan have admitted that their upgrade has been a bit sh*t and are working on improving it. Hurrah for Macmillan who have admitted it didn't go well. How many organisations actually come out and say that.
I don't like to think that newbies think that we are a miserable lot, what struck me on here when I came was how much joy, laughter and living went on despite cancer.

All this mention of elderly bananas reminds me that my husband and I encountered one such on a railway journey to Appleby. The sad specimen was keeping its head down at the side of an adjacent seat. Three days later on the return trip home we discovered that it was still there. Thus demonstrating the sad vulnerability of ancient fruit as well as the state of our trains.
In trouble again.... surely not?
We forgot to charge the lift so will test it tomorrow.
Well done Salis for surviving your 1st 3 days back at work. Not sure that bats would make the cut on my 3 good things but the birdsong definitely would xx
Thanks Tinalay, I love seeing the bats flitting about at dusk

Hope you get a buyer soon. It is a pain having to go out while they show people round.myearsnago we did it ourselves

Hi Norberry, In Scotland, very few people use agents, people just advertise themselves or if it is a sought after area, all you need to do is put a notice in the window!
Do you sell first, then start to look for your new house or have you seen the house you want and are just waiting for yours to be sold? Good luck!!
Love Annette x
Hope you get a buyer soon. I sold my mums house in 2 weeks but it seemed a long 2 weeks
Ruth
I would try and drop the price a bit. Do you know how much similar houses in your area are going for ?
Also you need a good estate agent. We had a local one that wasn’t a big chain
good luck
Ruth
