How much will it cost to leave the EU?

Could you take my DH H along chewy pleeeeease ?

I'll be the one on shore laughing my head off !

I've got a hideous old jug of DMIL's that I've kept because I thought it might be worth something. I've just found one like it for sale on ebay for three quid (with less crazing and no bids). I reckon the Frenchies'll like it because it says Bonjour M'sieur le Marquis under the plug ugly picture on the side. Shall we throw that in the pot? It's from Staffordshire but they might think it's a bit of French history we're returning.

After a glass (or 3) of wine I thought you said "my DMiL has a hideous mug"

... And I was going to say okay we will put it next to Mrs Thatcher on the bow of the ship.

Oh dear maggiemaybe wine and serious conversations like this just don't mix !

Fear not, gillybob, wine mixes with anything!

How dare you say 'hideous' and 'Staffordshire' in the same sentence Maggiemaybe



I'll take it off your hands for three quid (bet it's worth a fortune)

sorry, in the same post if you want to be pedantic

Could you not have a hideous staffordshire bull terrier ? jalima

I'll give £4.21. (The trick is to think of an odd sum and add a penny ) ha ha !

Are we bidding for maggies hideous MiL ? I had one of those years ago.

bet it's worth a fortune It's really not, Jalima. Though I've replaced it at the very back of that shelf in the darkest corner of the cellar just in case. Next to all those foisty old Bunty annuals the DGS will be --throwing in a skip--selling for a king's ransom when I'm dead and gone. After I've re-read them all, that is.

or even throwing in a skip

And no, gillybob, you can't have the Bunty annuals. Those Four Marys ain't for sale.

I have a set of those flying ducks somewhere (one broken)

Worth a Queen's ransom I think.

Were you Vera Duckworth in a previous life Jalima ?

What if those Buntys could help save the UK from Brexit though Maggie ? It would be your patriotic duty to hand them over.....

We need to reconvene tomorrow when I have sobered up and make a full inventory of what we have to offer.

Bunty annuals, flying ducks, old socks, shopping trolleys....... Out of circulation coins, Buck House, Chris Evans....... Green shields stamps.... Boots advantage points.....

Living with Jack was never easy gillybob

Was it Vera or Hilda Ogden who had the ducks
can't remember now.

I would prefer to have lived with Jack Duckworth than Bernard Ogden though.

Actually I think you might be right Jalima it was Hilda Ogden who had the ducks didn't they fly across her "Murial"

Jalima I sold a set of flying kingfishers that had belonged to my uncle for over £100 - every one of them had been broken and stuck together. Wish they had been whole!

Gosh!

Well, I am not going to put them on the -Muriel-- wall and the DC will put them in the skip one day so perhaps I should sell them.
Although they are DH's really, I suppose. Along with all the other broken junk treasures from MIL's house.

Good examples go for much more than that. Maybe DH would rather have the money? Tell him to look on Ebay at prices.

Oh jalima you disappoint me . I had a picture in my head of your lounge with a Caribbean scene "Muriel" complete with sand and palm trees with those flying ducks soaring across the turquoise sky. Talk about having your illusions shattered.

Jest not gillybob , I wanted to buy an original oil painting of a tropical cove complete with galleon many years ago but DH did not.
I went back to buy it anyway (a whole month's salary for me all those years ago and we were saving for a house too!).

Someone else had got there first and bought it (must have been Hilda).

DH won't bother; he will never think about them unless I sell them Elegran

We could open a charity shop to raise the money needed, I could then donate and buy back because I had forgotten I donated in the first place!
