I've been offered a Lottie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

As our parish council doesn't have any lotties, I applied to the next local parish that does (about 4 miles away!) ages ago and got told no as I was not from the parish. :(

Anyway I left it for a while and phoned them today and enquired again and was informed that there are two available and need attention and as no one has enquired regarding them one one can complain that I am out of parish and that they would send the forms for me to fill in and return with a cheque for £15.00 and it will be mine all mine
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Have now booked a week off work for September to get it all ready.

You jammie dodger, :) you took the biscuit and got it, or was it cake and eat it? ;) anyway, well done Pixie.
It pays to tell your friends and family about your lottie as I now have loadsa second hand freebies, fork, spade, rake, riddle, shed and what looks like a fairly new plastic compost drum. ;D

Spread the word you too will have nice peeps around you. :)

Roy. :)

Hi Guys

Nice to be back on line - I missed you :-*

I went to see the lottie again last night. I have been asked to take either plot 5 or 6 but I am a bit confused as plot 6 is obviously being well used ??? and I don't want to cause any hassle so I guess it will be the overgrown plot 5.

It is about 12ft x 100ft and behind some terraced houses (so anything I put there should be quite safe) and many of the houses rent the lotties as extra bits of garden as they only have courtyards. It slopes downhill a little (not much) and has fab views over the countryside. :)

I was a bit disapointed that only 4 or 5 seem to be partially used for veg, the rest are laid to lawn, but the ones that are used for veg look lovely and I'm sure that I have a lot to learn.

All I have to do is take in my £15 and fill out the paper work!! I will find out the postcode and you can multimap it, if anyone would like to see let me know. :)

Hi Pixie!!

You are lucky!!

I first enquired in July - choose my plot a wek later but still haven't had an agreement back to sign yet!! ::)

NobbyMan -do you need one? I had my first spuds by the time I got an agreement to sign.

My sort of agreement too, 1 side of one sheet of paper in readable print :)

Is it legal to take possession of a site before the agreemnet is signed? :o

derbex · « **Reply #11 on:** August 17, 2004, 11:52:41 »

I don't know, when I took over mine I was told not to worry about the paperwork -it would turn up when it was ready. I think that they may only do it once a year.

I'd have a word with whoever runs the site and see what they say, ours has virtually no organisation -long may it last :)

Pixie · « **Reply #12 on:** August 17, 2004, 12:58:27 »

I was informed today that plot 5 is now mine and the agreement is in the post - just drop it and a cheque in when passing the parish council offices!

Easy :)

Try giving them a ring it may have slipped their memory
