Hats off to:

[Two_Sheds]

1) the plumber who, although he took 3 wks to fit us in, has now fixed our leak and our CH.

2) the same plumber who *forgot* to tighten a nut in the bedroom and made a paddling pool in the sitting room - but not only owned up, he fixed it quickly with grace and good humour

3) the nice lady in my post office (only the one) who keeps cheerful despite endless queues of grumbling customers & Oaps who forget their Pins (the PO won't put on any more counter staff or even pay for a cleaner). We get extra postmen at Xmas, but not extra counter staff?

4) My solicitor, who has settled my claim re: the bike crash in June. My back still hurts and my knee can tell the weather forecast, but I can now look forward to one of these, which I never dreamed I could afford

Please, please let the good luck continue
Merry Christmas everyone

Good news indeed, Two Sheds, I am pleased for you- and are you going to change your name to Two Sheds andaGreenhouse!

[northepaul]

Plus you're MOM too...!

[FionaH]

Really pleased you got your claim sorted, that greenhouse looks lovely

[Glutton4...]

Yay - Go TS!, or should that be grow!

[weekendwellies]

Great looking Greenhouse TS.

... and to the butcher who made me laugh today.
I went in for Mr S cos he's been a good boy today (I'm a veggie and the smell makes me gag)...

anyway, I said "do you ever have rabbit?" (not knowing if they were in season or anything) and he says "what, wild ones?"

It was only when I left the shop that I thought 'yes, of course wild ones'

Glad you got your insurance claim sorted out Two Sheds. Enjoy your Green House - it will be some small compensation for what happened to you.

Your butcher would have asked if it was wild rabbit you were looking for as some of what is available is farmed rabbit and it's as tasteless as battery chicken but wild rabbit is like free range chicken - good and tasty. Hope MR TS got some.

[Two_Sheds]

but but ... a farmed rabbit is a pet rabbit, nearly

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

Good news on the compensation front. Greenhouse looks fab

[Incy]

Nice one TS.
Glad things are looking up for you. The Greenhouse looks lovely

[bramble]

great to hear your good news TS.
Also nice to see that people are appreciated.
more of the same please.

My car got pooped on three times in the space of 5 mins last night while I waited for youngest to finish work. Now waiting for my good luck to kick in

I don't know about wild, but if someone tried to give me the chop I'd be bl**dy furious!
