I feel your pain regarding the house, our vendor kindly accepted our offer 7 months ago, and yet we are still waiting for them to agree a date to exchange on.

Just waiting for a nicer house to appear to buy instead, until then we can but wait.

I feel your pain Mr. Max5476. I really do.

If you'd told me a year ago that it would take six weeks to sell our New Jersey home (complete with flood history) but nearer six months to exchange cash for shed in the UK I would have laughed.

Still another couple of days won't hurt.
All good things come to those who wait.
The right house for the right price and Master Whatty loves the swing set.




Cheers, Whatty.

In the doghouse again mate?

May 7th.

8.35am

Not sure I'm ever out of the doghouse Mr CoopedUp.
It appears my gentle appeal to the Lady of Lowestoft to sign and vacate fell on deaf ears.

FFS.

Cheers, Whatty.

st mate, sorry to hear that, time to get heavy me thinks

Evening Mr.CoopedUp

And thank you....

It appears that the distant rumble of your tank engine has spurred Ms. X of L'swtft into whipping out her Waterman.
Ironic. On this day in 1945 General Jodl signed Germany's official document of surrender.

Women. Can't live with them, can't evict 'em either.
Not counting any chickens tonight.

Wishing you a very happy VE Day.

Cheers, Whatty.

Friday night - May 8th.

Contracts exchanged.
Anti-climatic to say the least.

Time for a brief celebration.
Weird NJ '14.




Still no room for complacency.
Serious business tomorrow.

Ipswich Town vs Norwich City.

OTBC - COYY.

Cheers, Whatty.

Was this thread ever about cars?

Greetings M. Enfant Illegum

What do you want, an apology or an explanation for this non-motoring monotony?
One might take longer than the other..........;)

Random monotonous in-mini video to keep everyone happy.
Apologies to Ecosse. The in-car Jock'ing is shocking.

Gosh Whatty, there are some slightly risqué pictures there! At least she likes fast cars though...

Ooos! I rather forgot to mask her identity.
Then again she probably won't mind the attention

Cheers, Whatty.

Tea time.

Fannying around.
Busking the Monday Blues away at SBC Customs.

Know the feeling?

coopedup said:

Good luck mate

Thank you Mr.CoopedUp.

Hopefully the tortuous saga of Swiss Family Whatty is drawing to a close.
Then again buying a house from the Saga Generation was actually our mistake.

I jest, lovely couple.

B'stard Child said:

I'm guessing you will be busy Wed Night with an imminent house move?

Being as we've been packed for 9 months I don't have a huge amount on today
That said I do have to interview Norfolk's biggest 007 fan at 7:30. Fun guy. Weird gig.
I'll try and make it to Elsie's later.

Cheers, Whatty.

coopedup said:

I hope she is now grounded, the saucy minx

Evening Mr CoopedUp.

Suzi is indeed grounded.
She also has presented me with a puzzle.



Weird blue lit interior.
A Japanese market fetish perhaps?

Some country miles covered this afternoon.
Don't know whether I'm coming or going.



No matter, shed keys in hand tonight.




Just the small matter of moving in. Simple.
Unlike The Archers or syphilis the end of this non-car Readers Cars thread is finally in sight.


Cheers, Whatty.

The Old Volks Home.

Early O' clock.

Ditto! Good luck with the move, Whatty

Thanks Mr. BenWRXSEi

The box move job is jobbed. Now for the incredibly tedious unboxing bit.

geeks said:

I hate moving, you have my sympathies on that, no on the syphillis though

Appreciate your sympathies Mr. Geeks. Yesterday was a long day.
Shifting 1200 cubic feet of stuff has left me feeling a bit stiff.

Ding dong. Avon calling.





No worries on the STD front. I always carry quality rubber.

07:17 am - Time for toast.

Cheers, Whatty.

PS. Mr. CoopedUp.

You have a PM.

Sunday May 17th 2015.

Still at the Old Volks Home.
Norfolk. UK.



A good week: hard work and a new home make for happy families.

Just need to find the chassis for Whatty Jr's 911.
Hopefully it will turn up.





As for the tool next to it? Well, there is a tale to tell that might just require some suspension of disbelief.
Planet earth is a big place. The digital car world appears to be tiny.

Cheers, Whatty.

DG3 said:

I've done 3 moves in two years, such fun, next one due in 8 weeks. Mrs DG3 takes care of all the packing, downside, many "man" things go missing, upside, they appear later, but hopefully before replacements are purchased. Maybe I should be a little less of lazy sod, but dealing with Chinese moving companies is not my strong point. Anyway, on to the point of my post Whatty, great thread, best wishes for a happy future in the new home, lang mae your lum reek, Gaelic (long may chimney smoke) Keep up the good work, Mrs @ Mr. DG3.

Good morning Mr. DG3

Thanks for your kind words.
Great thread? I rather think this thread grates on some.

3 moves in 2 years? I feel for you, I really do.
Chinese removals? I can only imagine.
Having a Missus with organisational skill seems to be the key feature in nest shifting.
Bit pressed for time but I really do wish you the smoothest of moves.

Cheers, Whatty

PS. As for chimneys smoking thanks for the blessing. Good reminder.
Need to figure out lighting kitchen range thing.
I'll be in hot water if there isn't any.
