Hi ThereCanBeOnlyOne...welcome to the thread.
we are going to teach you essential lifeskills;) and I am going to shorten your name (if you don't mind) to ThereCan...(cos that's the bit I can remember for I am old and decrepit and I have never heard of 'the film' other than the mention back up the thread.)

Valli - :rotfl: it's from Highlander (Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery)

OJK - hope Izzy is ok, don't envy you at A & E on a Saturday!

ETA - just seen that she is - good news

Have already had a PM exchange with Valli. Fortunately, my relatives were from the posh Ashover area :rotfl:

Of course they were:rolleyes:! - if you're ever up here give me a tinkle, If I get that house (fat chance but 3 bathrooms - one each - that would be heaven) you would be VERY welcome.
If I could...
I could persuade my friend we COULD sell both ours and share that...the boys could share a bedroom the girls could share a bedroom and we could have ONE EACH. And a boys bathroom..and a teenage girl bathroom..and an adults bathroom - it COULD work
but I'd have to be a very good Valli:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
and TBH a bit desperate to live there....

greenbee - glad all went ok. You sound very organised. I'd like to go dancing too but can't find the right thing at the right time .......

I'm intending to be organised... not sure whether it'll happen or not. Scarily, the friend who came over today has pretty much the same list as me (including church, but as she has an 18 month old daughter, they'll be going to the family service!). She lives in london, but we're going to see if we can work it so that I go up there one evening a week to go dancing (which will be fine if I can stay with them once a week... I'm not doing the train/taxi/office/drive home thing every week!). What kind of stuff are you looking for? Let me know and I'll PM you any useful links I find.

My DH loves cooking anything a bit different (i.e. not fish fingers and waffles like i'd cook!!). He takes forever but his food doesn't half taste good. I can't wait to start caravaning because that's the sort of thing he cooks when we go camping and we only had bbq and a gas ring! You think i've married the perfect man............ he's the untidiest person i've EVER met! xx

Chunters - you did fab with your list. You now have to come and do ALL of my list!! xx
