Morning all cold here with a frost now 10pm and not moving at all ,the car is white with frost and it can stay where it is a day in I think.
You mean 10am. Gosh! It's going to be very cold your way, Zenj. How goes the Christmas tree? We are born nosy, you know!
It's cold but incredibly sunny and the air is contaminated a bit. Son wants to go to GCs - but can't go every day. So the car will say where it is too!
Going to the garden soon to return some plants to the soil. It's like a nightmare.
Just now the estate agent asked me how much I would put a price on the house even if I was not interested in putting in an offer. I literally told her that I would not be part of her scheme to squash the price as I have frequently heard my estate agent telling me this in order to pressurise me to lower the price. What annoyed me most was that she phoned me whilst I was in the area asking me to view another house. Was very annoyed. I asked her if the garden was big, and she said she hadn't measured it. When we were there, the garden was a strip of astroturf of about 20 feet by 10! So just now I just told her I would not be part of her scheme to pressurise the sweet old lady who had just lost her husband and needed the house sale to move to Devon. She was ever sweet and I sensed her sadness and vulnerability. If I had no intention of putting in an offer, why would I do that to the old lady? I felt myself very rude when I put down the phone to the estate agent staff; but with her thrusting a viewing on me on the back of a lie, I think she deserved it. Increasingly, I feel let down by pushy people who have not treated me with politeness or fairness. They whisper in your ears to do this, to do that and leave you in quandary at the drop of a hat. Why made me waste my petrol when I specifically asked her about the size of the garden? She was there to view the house with me.
