            Madmax is asking if he can have Egyptian slave girls - any volunteers? Kids are not impressed with the AGA idea at all, never mind the slave one.

            If we can't do it ourselves, the guy we are getting it from is a plumber so might be able to help.

                          Lol!! Wish we could, but havent got room for it yet, perhaps when we find that dream plot of land and build our eco home then we'll be looking out for one for ourselves!

                          Hope the moving of it isnt too difficult, if we lived a bit nearer, then we'd offer to come and give you a helping hand, but tis a bit too far for us to pop down I'm afraid! Let us know how you get on and dont forget...... we like pictures!!!!

                          Oh, Mr D just hit on a good idea, why not get someone like TNT to collect and deliver it, or failing that a 'man in a van'! They always advertise on being able to move anything, may be a way to get them to do the hard work methinks!

                            I left our freecycle as we were getting 200+ emails a day - I'd better rejoin, but I don't think Cambridge folk are as generous as Pembrokeshire folk - perhaps I should move!
