Mishaps and Memories

Jan. 30, 2007 - weekly update

Going to make this a weekly update from here on, until we have any real boaty news, otherwise, it'll end up as 'sad, with no friends' blog....Insert Smilie

 

Still (unsuprisingly) no news on the house sale...

 

Only vaguely boaty news is that i've managed to get my hands on 4 folding bikes of the 'ikea' variety, brand new at a very sensible price.... only downside is that i've got to go and fetch them.... from Scotland!!!!

 

I have a fuel card for my car, so i won't cost me anything other than a day of my time....

 

While i'm there, i'm fetching 2 more as well for a fellow forumite, so will be well loaded up with bikes for the return trip!

 

We've often said how nice a folding bike would be to have on board.... so many places that you visit where a bike would open the whole area up... especailly Holland and Belgium last summer.....

 

Thats it until next week!


Jan. 30, 2007 - folding bikes

what's so special about bikes in Scotland? Is it a retailer knocking them out cheap or just a good deal on a private sale?

Jan. 30, 2007 - cheap bikes

Posted by MagnaCarter
IKEA gave every member of staff a Raleigh folding bike for XMAS..... most have appeared on eBay, but for the poor souls in Scotland, the high P&P costs makes them much less saleable.... so i'm fetching.... it doesn't cost me, but save a load!
