    We watched Invictus a couple of weeks ago and OH was not impressed because of the rugby in it! It's quite funny how the film leads up to the World Cup final which you want to be really exciting and it was actually a pretty rubbish game, the only points were scored by penalties which is not very fun to watch! I remember watching that game too... didn't really get the significance of it at the time though! Morgan Freeman's accent annoyed me in it too... he just wasn't quite sure what he was doing with it IMO! Which is a shame because it was the role he was born to do!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    I know what you mean, it was slightly American at times! But if someone has quite a strong accent (like Mandela) then if you overdo it, it can sound like you're taking the pee!

    It's such an incredible story though - don't tell the boys, but it's not really about rugby ;)

    Anyways, I quite fancy the Wolfman (in all senses :D) so we might see that. Yay weekend!

    Can I see Tete?! Very exciting. Just one thing to consider, I don't know if you ultimately hope to buy, however if you do then go for something as cheap as you can, as you'll save for your own home quicker rather than paying for someone elses. If however you intend to be there for the next 5-10 years then you might as well go for something comfy as at the end of the day it is your home.

    Hi all,

    Hope you manage to get to payday without going in the red Tete.

    I loved the gypsy wedding programme. There dresses really were something else!

    The cottage sounds lovely. OH has seen a really sweet cottage that he wants to rent in Hertfordshire.

    I was at someones leaving do last night so am feeling it today. Have spent far too much on hangover food as well. I was worried I was going to be spending all evening cleaning as I have a friend staying this weekend but was all done when I got home, so guessing my sister did it. Do love her sometimes hehe.

    We'd be living there for a couple of years then going to Australia for a couple of years so not buying for the foreseeable future really, so may as well enjoy where we're living now as you say. Will send you and Flower a PM, I've bumped down to Earth a bit since Friday though, am starting to worry that they won't take cats and I can't give up the girls :( We were suposed to sitting down to do some maths today but OH ate a dodgy fish last night and has gone home to be ill.

    Ah Wendz your sister sounds an angel - just what you need when you've got a stonking hangover! :)

    You will have to enquire about pets, some landlords wouldn't mind I am sure. How exciting about planning to move to Australia though. My best friend is out there at the moment and she loves it, she is torn between living here and there though.

    Hope your OH is feeling a bit better.

    Hope your OH feels better soon.

    How exciting about Oz. When are you planning to move there and do you have any city/area in mind?

  • Well he had a cream scone this morning Wendz so he can't be that bad, although I think it set him back a bit!

    It's always been OH's dream to go there and he's been looking at Queensland, I'd never thought of living there but always up for an adventure so more than hapy to go with him. But anxious at the thought of all the poisonous animals lurking about though! It'll be another couple of years, it's OH's job that will get us in, and mine if I take up pastry cheffing!, so he wants to build u a good portfolio before we apply.
