Didn't mean to brag about 4 floors .

Nanou1 · 30/05/2007 16:16

i have 1 computer and NO internet connection... when we move i shall have 1 computer, internet connection, probably 4/5 stairs to walk up every day (do you squeeze your but when you go up or when you go down?), free time during the day, mountains - lots of them - and last but not least chocolate - and lots of it . i reckon i'll be more in touch with you guys once i am in switzerland than now!

Nanou1 · 30/05/2007 16:18

it's ok COV, we can handle it

ComeOVeneer · 30/05/2007 16:24

If its any consolation the hoovering kills me.

quokka · 30/05/2007 16:25

god if I had 4 floors I'd brag! I'm going to have 3 swimming pools, tennis courts, basket ball court, gym, oh I could go on and on

Nanou1 · 30/05/2007 16:26

my dd loves hoovering and i never say no when she wants to do it. it's all about practice isn't ?!

Nanou1 · 30/05/2007 16:27

AND a maid sleeping in the kitchen....

Kewcumber · 30/05/2007 16:28

yeah Nanou but you'll have to live with a pile of swiss people!

Nanou1 · 30/05/2007 16:28

quokka's gone quiet

Paddlechick666 · 30/05/2007 16:31

erm, i think CoV's 4 floors are exclusive access whereas all of Quokka's swimming pools will be swamped with ex-pats!!!

LOL

ComeOVeneer · 30/05/2007 16:31

Do you think quokka will ever admit it if she does actually get a live in maid?

Kewcumber · 30/05/2007 16:32

Paddle you ant to come over for a drink for an hour when your mum is around this week?

Paddlechick666 · 30/05/2007 16:33

thanks QC but Ma's taking dd home with her tomorrow so I'm doing viewings on the flat tomorrow and having drinks in town on Friday.

next week?

ComeOVeneer · 30/05/2007 16:35

So do you want me to host Nanou's leaving do or is it a bit too far out for all of you?

Kewcumber · 30/05/2007 16:35

next Thurs would be good (in fact just remembered that I'm playing bridge this thrusday )

Kewcumber · 30/05/2007 16:36

would entirely depend on babysitting for me Cov - but probably wouldn't drink so no probelm for me to drive and give anyone local a lift.

Why not agree a date first?

ComeOVeneer · 30/05/2007 16:38

How long until you leave Nanou?

quokka · 30/05/2007 16:39

no just feeding the lo's, don't worry I will brag if I get one!!!

Eleusis · 30/05/2007 16:43

When can we start planning Nanou's leaving do?

Nanou, what city are you moving to (so I can start pricing flights for October)? I can't wait. A girlie weekend away. Must tell DD they have chocolate in Switzerland.

ComeOVeneer · 30/05/2007 16:47

Ele I have offered to host for Nanou unless people feel it is too far for them to come. It would be nice (on a purely selfish note) to attend one evening meet when I can have a few glasses of wine for a change.

Nanou1 · 30/05/2007 16:56

hello again. quick pick as need to leave the office shortly. thanks so much for wanting to host my farewell dinner COV. very touched. and thanks ELE to have thrown the ball . we are planning to live in Zug (30 mns by train from Zurich). got to go xx til tomorrow. gosh yeh quokka.... watch out for verrucas... you know what swimming pools are like!

Nanou1 · 30/05/2007 16:58

at the mo we are looking at september so plenty of time!!!!
quokka meant to say she'll brag WHEN she gets one. i hear they are very docile ; if that's the right word

ComeOVeneer · 30/05/2007 17:03

OK if I am to host it will have to be before August 16th or after Sept 3rd as we are away.

Eleusis · 30/05/2007 17:05

That's okay COV, we can have when you aren't there.

Eleusis · 30/05/2007 17:25

Quokka,
Have you rented your house yet? Do you want me to put something up at work?
