krGF has just booked our first house viewing.

It’s normal to start panicking uncontrollably about now, isn’t it?

lifeintheslowlane · 20 March 2018 12:27

Oh yes. It’s also the start of being expected to take an interest in things you never imagined…like curtains.

KRG · 20 March 2018 12:32

Christ, she gets annoyed when my response to “what do you want to watch” is “I dunno/whatever/don’t mind”.

This is going to be hell

Just keep saying…

Well we could go look in Laura Ashley for furniture/furnishings if you don’t fancy a trip to IKEA.

You’ll be fine.

You will get fed up with fvcking meatballs though

KRG · 20 March 2018 13:30

Being trapped in Ikea with Ed Sheeran being pumped on loop is pretty much my idea of hell.

BTripz · 20 March 2018 13:46

I have never set foot in or otherwise visited an Ikea store or viewed an Ikea catalogue or visited an Ikea website…

KRG · 20 March 2018 14:08

Oh lord, she’s only gone and booked another straight after.

This is all getting way out of hand already

lifeintheslowlane · 20 March 2018 14:16

You and me pal…I think there is now a very good chance I never will.

Cobham-Saint · 20 March 2018 19:23

What are you going to do with your life if you don’t get shacked up with a crippling mortgage and an unnecessary interest in home furnishing? No, seriously what else…?

Intiniki · 20 March 2018 19:38

Oh I am the one who says “I don’t mind” in my relationship. My partner gets quite annoyed.

I didn’t mind the curtain shopping until we got quoted £5k.

lifeintheslowlane · 20 March 2018 19:48

In my day the first set of curtains were government suplus blankets nailed to the window frame…attractively draped of course.

PhilippineSaint · 20 March 2018 20:30

In my present abode I have black out material with an extra layer of carboard duct taped to the port hole to stop the light coming in .

Intiniki · 20 March 2018 21:11

I think we need to see your interior design techniques on TV.

Daughter admitted to hospital last night.

Fingers crossed.

Grandkid #2 On their way…

Polski_Filip · 21 March 2018 05:54

Update.

She has progressed to Gas & Air…

Polski_Filip · 21 March 2018 08:17

It’s a Girl!

Somehow both myself & Mrs D_P were convinced it was going to be a Girl as well!

Mother & Baby doing well.

Bubbles tonight!!

lifeintheslowlane · 21 March 2018 08:25

Congrats grandad and all concerned.

CB-Saint · 21 March 2018 08:33

Chris Rea sang a song about this…

Saint-or-sinner · 21 March 2018 08:39

Great news Phil.

Celebrate long
