... because I am putting in an offer for a house with a
GREENHOUSE!!!
Then I can post some pics here too!
Although most of my babies will still be on window sills I think... there is more sill space in the new pad.
If you want to see Forby pics, use the force and concentrate on the seller taking a silly offer that's on the very edge of what I can afford.
Keep your fingers crossed for me....

Re: Keep your fingers crossed for me....
Good luck Julie!
You can always let your babies live in the greenhouse for the summer before returning them indoors for winter. You'll soon fill it though, especially if you can get to local branch meetings!

Re: Keep your fingers crossed for me....
Thanks all!! I've got it!!
They went lower than I thought they would, although I can move fast which they want. I can always rent mine out if I can't shift it before I'm gone... not the best since it doesn't cover the cost of it, but it's better than being stuck in this area which is fast turning horrible, while beautiful pads get snapped up.
However I'm further away from branch meetings than ever... although only about a mile more. I'm too far along the coast in the boonies
I'll have to co-ordinate a trip to the parents when the Northants bunch have an event. I'm sure the parents will be delighted to come with me. Especially Dad the chauffeur.
Now all I have to do is eat beans on toast for the next year and make a fat contribution to solicitors' Mercedes funds.
