Hi there,

Hope I didn't put you off with my nanny-like reply about the kitchen! How's your flat purchase going. Any sign of exchange yet?

That sounds like it's going to be a long one. When I moved here I sold a flat in Hornsey which was bought by a guy who was selling a large London house and planned to use my flat as his London pied a terre. So what should have been a 1st or 2nd time buyer's flat ended up at the top of his chain. Then I had the chain with this house - a mare. I thought I might help by phoning the solicitors down the chain to chivvy things along. The first one I spoke to assumed I was a solicitor too - I hadn't represented myself that way; he just made the assumption. So I carried on, not misrepresenting, but perhaps being a little less than 100% forthright. It did seem to bring things to the top of their pile somewhat and unstick the chain - but who knows, maybe didn't make a jot of difference.

So, anyway, you have my heartfelt sympathy. You sound quite phlegmatic about it - guess it's the only way.

Cheers

Annoying American crap or a morality tale fro house-buyers? http://upchucky.net/~upchucky/flash-fun/farmer-donkey.swf

I'm so sorry. I owe you an apology. I duplicated your heat loss discussion and stuck mine of the main page - tchh, men!

What happened was that I had the forums feature set up to only show featured discussions (ones which I chose) on the main page. I did this because I'd been using the forum architecture as a repository for dowloadable files, but I didn't want those pages to show as discussions on the main page.

I'm still learning to drive this and it's not completely flexible unless you're deep into html programming and web design - which I'm not.

I hadn't looked on the view all forums for a few days and was horrified to see that you'd also added a heat loss topic. So I've deleted mine, changed the forum feature to show newest topics and set up a group as another way of storing downloadable documents (You don't wanna know why - but that's the only other way round it right now).

So, apologies again - I much appreciate your contributions and wpuld hate to put you off.

Noticed you seemd to be having problems messaging PedroK. Is the issue that you can't see the send a message icon beneath his avatar box on his page?

Thanks ea. You're absolutely right. I didn't realise before. I'm begining to learn more about how this site works from its members than from Ning.

Hi ea, thanks for starting a new group. Let me know if I can help at all - though LIz has also been through the learning ropes with Kidstuff so she's also a good source if you need to check anything out. I'll post a latest activity note and feature it on the main page.

There seem to be loads of cyclists here. I know that "Adam" and "Matt Burge" are both nuts about cycling.

Nice to see you last night. A good discussion eh? Personally I'm hoping 'Scoop' is the next choice, it is a fab book and I would enjoy reading it again. See you soon

Hi there
Afraid our caraway seed experiment was fairly disasterous - let's just say neither of us finished the soup! We knew we were doomed from the moment I realised that kohl rabi is pretty much a fancy swede... But thanks again for the seeds, very kind of you!

Yum, that sounds delicious. Will definately give that a try, I love carrots. Thanks.

I've just done Frobisher - thanks for the spare leaflets!

Hi EA I was on Alison's page and noticed you had posted a recipe, there is a group called Favourite Recipes that work it might be worth copying it to
