Talking Found a house!!

Having developed an interest in dh's a while back I have been dithering about buying one so decided to start with a room-box (see newbies). I figured if I thought about a dh too much I would tie myself in knots and I am a great believer in if it's meant to be then it will find you, well it's found me, fingers crossed My BIL was 40 during the week and had a party yesterday so we travelled up on Friday night to stay in a holiday cottage for the weekend, going home tomorrow. Knowing my interest, my SIL told me about a shop near them so we visited it before the party. They had a 2nd hand Greenleaf for sale, don't know which one but I fell in love. We are going back tomorrow to purchase (hope it's still there ) so tomorrow I should be the proud owner of a dh, yippee!! If it all comes off I will post piccies as soon as I can, RL is hectic, and then you all help me re-do it. Keep your fingers and toes crossed for me. One more sleep and it will be mine.......

Thanks Vicky, I am so excited and am like a cat on a hot tin roof. Think I am driving DH daft as it's not often we get away and this weekend was meant to be a big relax, but "c'est la vie"

HI Fate had it in store for you If you go to the Greenleaf site am sure you will see it on there . Is unusual to see a Greenleaf cos they are very heavy and cost a lot to import.

Fingers crossed for you Janey. I am a big believer in fate - so if it is meant to be it will be yours tomorrow.

Thanks Carol and Jean, fingers crossed. I believe in fate so I think that's why it found me. DH said last night why didn't I open my mouth in the shop because we could have bought it there and then, he he, but I was so taken I was gob-smacked and we were rushing to get to the party so I was in a daze. Never mind, if it's meant to be it will still be there tomorrow.
