thank you so much for all of your support - i do like the if in doubt do nowt - thats def food for thought and like you say panky at least he's there -'tucked up' sounds so much better than left in a barn!!
must admit some one has rang me (sorry i have not been back in touch if you are reading this, beleive me it is all me and hubby have talked about tonight)our sensible side says to sell but our hearts are just not quite there yet and i think having someone say they are interested just makes if feel a bit too scarey at the moment.
