Change in circumstances

[Guest]

HI all as my missus has been telling me lately, the old bat we work for (insert correct word here ends in itch)
Will die some time soon (hopefully sooner rather than later)( I know that sounds bad but people who know our situation know what she's like) anyway when she's gone we loose our house so need to downsize which means no model room and no space so, with great effort 7 models were binned today and more will follow ( its not that I care about the models, it's the spares they represent) anyway there will be loads more binnings, if anyone is interested in any of my finished kits they are welcome to them, if you're interested in anything let me know, it's better than the bin.

Don't know your circumstances but must be hard to throw out good model hope you kept room for your Heller 1/8 traction avant cabrolet conversion

[Guest]

To be honest I couldn't give a fig once the models built, I just see the potential for spares ( unless of course someone buys it)
Our boss lives in the victorian times as an example the site on mower broke and I had to use a push mower to mow 20 acres of lawn for 2 yrs it wasn't till I threatened to hand in my notice that she bought a new one, there used to be 4 gardeners and 3 handy men here now there is just me and she still expects the same done. I used to try but now my attitude is, if it gets done, it gets done.
We don't get paid overtime. She has a Christmas party for all her family we start at 7 in the morning and get home at 11 at night ( no break ) we get paid nothing extra for that.

ken mum said she'll have 2 to 4 off them she likes the 2 boats that you built I have made room in a unit above my wardrobe for you to store your model cars if you bring them down save you bining them i'll ask cousin ken and he will have some if you drop them off here, I will take them to london when I go there next holiday cousin ken will ring you after 6pm tomorrow if you did not mind me giving him your land line number

[Guest]

Thanks Jim, it's certainly better than the bin

[james pithouse]

that's ok do you want my help when you find a new place to live. Also don't forget cousin is going to phone you after 6pm to find out what models you have left and I'll run them up there for you when I'm on holiday or why don't you take a trip to see aunt win
