Fingers crossed.
Anyway, I now have a double garage all to myself! No washing machine, no loo rolls and hopefuly no more unexplained scratches on the car!
I may even put a telly in there

If all goes to plan we should be moving into our new house in the next few weeks. However all it takes is one person in the chain of four to back down and we're scuppered Fingers crossed.

...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

House looks nice, so good luck.
I'm trying to move and get my first ever garage, but have just lost my 2nd house just before exchanging, well out of pocket now
3rd time lucky hopefully.

Nice house, congratulations.
I'm sure you'll have many fun hours in your garage.
I can't wait to have one. My neighbors saw me working on my car too often already

Well the three storey house sale collapsed, after we had spent several hundred pounds on a valuation!
First buyer in a chain of four pulled out
Still, just had an offer accepted on a 17th century farmhouse. Only a single garage though.
Lets hope it goes through this time!

Nae luck pal.
I've been made redundant 3 times and the 1st time hurts the most.
Look on it as a positive opportunity to use your current skills elsewhere or do something different. What about selling up, re-locating to France with Mrs Dico and Wee Dico and buying a few gites for rental? You'll probably need a shed for Monty to stay too!
PS The 3rd time I got made redundant I was so optimistic that the job agency paid me to give a talk to first timers!!

Dico,
Can't believe it. Not good news.
In your line of work, I'd have thought that where you're situated must be about the best location in the UK.
The job market in Aberdeen is very buoyant at the mo. You'd have to learn how to spik Doric, though.
Best of luck.

You mean Mrs Dico Paul? I thought it strange that Mr Scania Man was losing his job.
As for "the brains of the partnership" you're probably spot on
