So what'dyer reckon them Tom? Clearly she's a thing of beauty and to be admired but swmbo and I would much rather enjoy your company out in the Swale than be at home reading your refit progress reports.
Have I gone mad again?

When my numbers come up and I've rebuilt this with a nice 8L3B for me to polish and look at I will need someone to sit upstairs and steer around the brown bits; any volunteers?

I agree
But I am finding it hard to find a boat suitable for my needs?
At least 40 foot
No aft cabin
DIesel
Genarator
Lots of ares for living.
Easy to single hand
Maybe I choose this one to scare SWMBO so anything 40-50 she would yes to?

Crikey Tom, even Fred's changed boats, he still uses the force (of the tidal flow) to get anywhere though.

Have to get a boat ASAP
I feel like a fish out of water, I am never selling a boat again, greed is an awful thing.

I'm in a chain at the moment, when a friend sells his, we are selling him ours but will still be able to use it, it's taking a while!

Dry land
You will miss being on board, I only did 6 month on board mine and I miss it so much...
You will never last in a house? no rocking for a start, sofas will not float by?

You're right of course, although no sofas lately! 
It's not by choice, but needs must. I'll certainly miss the wonderful view and the peaceful days.

I can tell times are hard, no fenders, life rings, wheely bins or furniture floating past lately.

Yes. Just like "a Jeffery" is £10,000 cash in an envelope, it's a special technical term for 53,000 litres in a boat Firefly
A Jeffrey is £2,000.

Allegedly an amount of money paid by Jeffery Archer to a lady of the night I understand.
