    gallygirl, we could all live in that one - sort of a DFW commune.....we could batch cook, and share the bills quite happily!! Everyone could bring different skills to the house......I could bring, urm, reflexology :confused:

    I could bring multiple sarcasm.

    The ability to find 2 meanings where you're lucky if there's one.

    The worst jokes this side of a Christmas cracker.

    More utter trivial knowledge than a Paris Hilton anthology.

    Getting away from property !!!!!! for a moment (although I could quite happily drool over all those houses - I really liked the 2 Hypno put on as they were 'realistic' (i.e. totally unrealistic for my budget but they looked like lovely rambling family homes)....maybe I'll find some down Brighton way to keep my appetite whetted... hmm...

    Irritatingly, with the storms, all the cashpoints in a 20 mile radius seemed to be out of service (either that or people in Oxfordshire raid them early on Fridays to fund their drinks after work), but I had to break more into my virtual £18.14 to be able to get cash back so I could then afford parking at the hospital! Spent 59p on a bottle of water, an absolute rip!

    (Even more irritated when I was walking through the hospital to find the new ward and there was a cash machine.....*sigh*)

    So, I now have £17.55.

    Off to look at Rightmove....x

    The other houses didn't float my boat - but that one is gorgeous...!

    Hope the other cheque arrives soon hypno

    Sorry too about the lost key - personally I would have risked it...

    ZTD - no the s*dding thing didn't, that was the most irritating part of it! I had a vague feeling that perhaps there would be a cashpoint at the hospital but figured that they'd want to make some money out of it, so stopped at a supermarket with a non-functioning c/point on the way.

    Oh well, I'll have a nice 500ml bottle of France's finest eau minerale (in my humble opinion anyway :) Hypno - have you done a review on V*lv*c water yet, lol)
