Puzzle Solved!

[gness]

I was mulling over the other day about having a new kitchen. This morning a lady drew up in a car and pushed a catalogue of beautiful kitchens through the letter box...just to my house...no others in the close.

Now...I thought...am I bugged? Should I be whispering or running a tap when I'm speaking....I like spy films....☺.....though I went a bit cold when I thought of some of the sounds that may have been overheard.. ☻

Then it struck me...it must be the skip on the drive....do companies employ people to drive around looking for people who are having work done?

I could do that....driving around.....listening to Rod Stewart.....posting catalogues, rummaging in skips and getting paid! Perfect job!

Do you need a new kitchen?
Just think of all the workmen you'll have trampling through your space.....

[gness]

Morning, Shoota.....Don't need a new kitchen at all......in fact I hardly need a kitchen.....this one is dull though....and then there are all the workmen I would have to employ.......☺

[shoota]

I'll bet your kitchen is far from being a dull place.

[gness]

It's lively on a Saturday evening when I'm dancing....or when I set fire to something...x

Knowing your abilities you'd fall in the skip and need rescuing. I think that might be a cue for the harpic fireman to make an appearance.

[gness]

Morning, Slack....firemen....hmm...the job becomes even more attractive.

I have fallen into a skip...in London at a priest's house. It was the most boring skip I've rummaged through...x

[SlackAlice]

I have fallen into a skip

Words fail me! Why did I think it might be a new experience, lol.

[gness]

Priest throw great parties so a little drink may have been involved....just may have been.....☻

gness, forget the new kitchen, you can have a microwave oven anywhere in the house !.

[Psybbo]

And a fridge for the white wine and ice cubes, Tony?

[jno]

it would be a bit late to think about a new kit

I think premonition is more likely.chen when your skip is already outside, wouldn't it?

[jno]

okay, sentence two landed in the middle of sentence one there. You could put it in Q&P to see if anyone can decipher it

[ummmm]

I know 'kit' belongs to 'chen' :-)

[mccfluff]

lol, that made my head hurt..

[mccfluff]

have you checked for spy cams?

[giveup]

As you know gness,I've recently had it done and am thrilled with it(next time you are in Honiton come and have a look) but its quite traumatic living with the mess etc. I had no cooker and a stand pipe in the kitchen,and no ceiling for two days, and the dirt and dust were unbelievable.

[gness]

I know about the microwave and fridge but I need a jolly kitchen to dance in on Saturdays.

I don't know, Jno.....having the bathroom done has made me want to do the kitchen so targeting houses with a skip could be a good idea.

Giveup...I have renovated a kitchen completely and had a Christmas with just a standpipe, an old cooker and visitors to stay.
This wouldn't be as bad but I think my main reason for doing it would be to lower the units.
They are much too high...must have been put in by a very tall person...a man I guess.

I suppose I could buy some platform shoes.

[gness]

Fluff.....I have been acting as if there is a spy cam....If so it must be family so I have been talking quite loudly about leaving all my worldly goods to the cat's home...

That'll flush them out...☻

[Dee Sa]

gness hasn't the "hunk" been to take away that skip yet ? or have you ordered a second one ???

[gness]

Hi, Dee.....not yet...I don't want to overwhelm myself with hunks...at my age you need to spread it out a bit so I will wait til the builders have finished..☺
