What Happened over Christmas

What Happened over Christmas?

Well we are well in to 2001 and the office is at full strength after the Christmas festivities and celebrations, the sore heads have been cured and the wrapping paper gone to the recycling bins. As for the bottles well, put it th is way when the lorry took the Bottle Bin away the suspension was under great strain! Purely medicinal though!

The office party went very well everyone behaved-under oath to say that! Don't mention the War! The Ty Mawr did us proud, the food was excellent and again they ran out of red wine- Up a Gum Tree - next day it would seem the book-keeper suffered, as did Jane, some people just don't know when to stop! And it is always that single prawn that gets the blame or the lime in the Gimlet!!

The Sanderson tribe went to France with Easy Jet, having a fantastic Christmas with skiing from sunrise to sunset. Now they came back and vowed they were so tired they didn't have too much time to socialise, just don't ask Alison about the luggage left at the airport in Geneva.

Simon was having a quiet Christmas usual over indulgence, the turkey lasted about a week! A trip to Shrewsbury after Christmas to see some old friends from the Deep South, much merriment was had and the pleas to return fell on deaf ears. The next day the world as he knew it had changed! The snow had arrived, The Winter wonderland had arrived! Returning at snails pace through some hairy driving conditions, very often the top speed being 20 mph but what the heck, what was the rush? Then once at home couldn't get out of the drive and down the hill for 3 days, having to walk to the shops for major supplies such as milk, bread, and tonic water! The good news is Royal St. David's is open again the full 18 for the first time in about 2 months.

Jane's Christmas was certainly not on the quiet side. It was spent at her brothers with his wife and 2 very enthusiastic boys - Alistair aged 7 and Richard aged 9. Alistair's present from Aunty Jane and Uncle Mark was a live Praying Mantis and a box of dinner for it. (The dinner being about 30 live crickets!) All he could say was, "Wow, I've never had a creatures of my own before!" He may be the next David Bellamy. After Christmas No.1, Christmas No.2 was due at the in-laws then promptly home to see to the zoo! - 2 tortoises, 3 soft-shell turtles, 4 red eared turtles and the cat! Jane hastens to add that the shelled beasts are her husband' s pets, the cat is hers! If you want to visit the mini zoo residing at Jane's house go to Turtle World.

As for the forthcoming events Sanderson Estate Agents are having an office outing at the end of the month, we are flying down to Nice and not Neath as some thought! for a little supper could say a sales conference, but it sounds a bit flash, also Andrew wants to go for a swim, Alison wants to go to the museum, as for Simon well find him a cafe and he will sit for hours with his Pastis and book, just watching the world go by. I tell you being an estate agent can be such a hard life at times!!

Well having read this we honestly would welcome your comments and any suggestions you may have might be taken in to account!! What is it that the public hate about the estate agents what would you like to see the business do that it doesn't do at the moment and don't say cheaper fees!! Remember if price was such a factor when people buy a car we would all be driving Ladas!
