i need a nice smelling air freshener

have you followed through again sideshow ?

Erse's 'Canadian Mountie shorts Eau de Toilette Spray ' is a real seller..

Seriously bob, why would you need air freshener? I've never had the want to buy such a product mesen.

anything with a face should do the job , just hang 10 of them around your windows while you chill watching the world cup

Cut an apple in half and leave it in the sunlight on a window ledge.

since the bedroom dampness calamity the room smells a bit erm dusty. the carpets fecked, but as im looking to move soon im not buying a new one.

maybe i need some of that shake n vac stuff? ya know to erm...put the erm...freshness back...an that...does that stuff still exist??

imma using air wick colours of nature ivory freesia bloom. it smells horrible. id rather the room smelled of chicken and mushroom pukka pies.

throw the fker out .. be better off with just floorboards .. like i had for years in my rented room !

cant have floorboards cos theres some horrible tiles underneath the carpet. half broken and no doubt soaked from dog piss from the previous people!

if ya carpet smells of dog p1ss, ya room does toooooooooo.
every time ya vacuum, remember not to poooooooooo.
do the shake n vac and put the freshness back.
diddly bum bummmmm.

an all that kinda mullarky.

If you Really want the best smelling air freshener , buy some Richbrook Car freshener , fragrance 'New Car' !

It's one of them small pump tubes costs around a fiver , but smalls amazing , think New Car

sounds a bit mental to me. why would i want my bedroom to smell like a new car??
i cant even drive.

yeah but you could pretend

Get yourself a flowery patterned shirt and a floral headband.

Light a few "Joss Sticks"...

....and you are sorted!

Hey Aunty , nice tip for your motors there

funny thing, well ok maybe not that funny, is when i was a teenager i wanted to be a racing driver. but then i got that fed up being stuck in traffic jams i never bothered learning to drive. still not sure why people bother, i seem to get places quicker walking than by car! if i lived in the middle of nowhere in nevada id learn to drive, but in a concrete-box city i dont really see much point.

im not a hippy. may try the apple idea, actually makes some sense thinking about it. apples smell kinda nice.

maybe to get yourself outta the concrete box city

where to? i hate the countryside. and i live near it. when i walk, i walk into the city. cant stand all those fields with cow-sh1t everywhere.

"if i lived in the middle of nowhere....."

Collinson Road, S5 perhaps!

lol maybe. im guessing that was one of the hooses i posted? better memory than me.

Bob, I care about you, and can't believe you don't recall it!

I'm still waiting to see what it sold for (just out of interest)!

which one was it? the big one near the school?

Think I will withdraw all my interest, as you seem to go from day to day, with one crisis after another!

Bob, it wasn't a big one, in fact it was the smallest detached you could imagine!

It was obviously the one you talk of, as it was the caretakers house!

I think it was only just over 1,000 sq ft (from memory).

well it was big for the money!

Bob, you don't know what the money was, as it was sold by auction, so could have gone for anything!

it was in a craphole where nobody wants to live, it cant have gone for that much.

I only ever went to one property auction and I was deadly serious, and had a very generous ceiling (I thought)!

I took my solicitor and paid his fee, and for a nice lunch, and that was the best part of the day.

The bidding went mental, so never got into the market!

That property was undeveloped for many years, but subsequently was knocked down to develop the site!

The price will eventually be available to view.

yeah but you could pretend

it was in a craphole where nobody wants to live,

A landlord doesn't give a sh!t about that!

Aunty did you really take your solicitor & pay his fee

My solicitor recommended similar & my immediate thought was ' you know what you can do '


What's the point , what can they do , do you need him to tell you how much you're allowed to spend

Yes I did, just for company and reassurance.

I had known him for years, and he was semi retired at the time, so the fee was menial!

I could have taken my dentist, who was a lunchtime squash partner, but that wouldn't feel right

Sorry, but I should have said that he was well experienced in the business (professionally and personally)!

I, on the other hand, was quite young, and this was new territory for me.

Yep fair enough i can see your point , even if it's only for reassurance !

How much was this 'menial' fee though

This is many long moons ago, in fact in the halcyon days of the 70's, and the "fee" was £20.00.

To put that in perspective, I paid £50.00 for new rear "mufflers" on my E-Type!

Lunch, "al fresco", at "Ye Old Sun" at Colton, made it all worthwhile.

Happy days of love and optimism!

ive seen a lot of properties listed for auction at what seem ludicrous prices. no doubt just to increase interest. dont think id bother going to one cos of that.

guide prices are always very low to create lots of interest


Auctions are great If you know exactly what you want & only go to bid on that one , know how much it's realistically worth , but remember there's always an Auction fee to pay on top (usually around £750)

i missed out on a decent buy last year. a tiny flat but in a good area. was listed at 45k (not auction, regular sale) went for 55k. was in a right state, not liveable at all. its been done up and now listed again for 100k. think theyll be lucky, may get 95k. i reckon they probably spent about 20k doing it up. not that ive ever done up a flat. 20k sounds about right though?

Yep i had the same dilemma myself mate , some agents list them low too to create lots of interest , people make lots of offers then they play them off against each other to keep upping their price !

I never feel safe like this though , say it was 45k 50k might be a good offer , but then they tell you somebodies offered more BUT WILL NEVER TELL YOU THEIR OFFER , so it's pie in the sky stuff after that !

There was one house i viewed , best house i've ever seen for the money , it was supposed to be going to auction & i'd of bid to win it , but said 70-90k

I rang up to make an offer & they told me the same , it's under offer now , but they had to complete before the day of the auction & only had a few weeks !!

I hoped they failed to do it in time so i could bid at auction but they completed the evening before the auction , never found out how much it sold for as it remains hidden !

at least at auction you know how much you're bidding against , but in a bidding war you're not always sure !!

Usually hate smelly stuff especially fookin candles but those Scentsy candles are the dogs bollocks.Plug them in and away you go the wax melts and smells amazing with no risk of fire etc etc.Our house is filled with them.Not cheap mind.

We are, allegedly, heading into another glorious British summer!

That being the case, just open the ***ing windows, and let that fabulous Sheffield air do it's work.

i have rubbish windows. theres another block of flats across from my window, so no air really gets in.

i know i know, i always have excuses to everything. but its true ah telz ya!!
