It is Sunday morning. 11am. The doorbell goes. A very nice couple inform Man and I that they have purchased the chest of drawers in First Born's room on e-Bay and they had come to collect it.
First Born wasn't in - he'd gone away for the weekend - and his mobile was switched off. The nice couple assured us that First Born had said Sunday was fine.
Man and I knew nothing about this - that First Born was selling the furniture in his bedroom. He must be desperate for money! Until we found out what he sold it for - £1.71!!
First Born hadn't emptied the unit out or anything. So we invited the nice couple in while we emptied its contents and gave it a quick dust. Man helped the nice man carry it down to his car. The nice lady handed over £1.71 - and a very happy couple left.
I don't think a career in business is for First Born.
There has to be a chick-lit book in here somewhere. 15 years and still all together. Although for many of us - our lives have taken a different turn from what we thought way back in 1992.
