    And now...Karmacat goes for a maison a trois....Frisson indeed! ;)

    :D The maison a trois was really nice - maison a deux too small - but all terribly open plan, not the thing for having clients arriving.

    Enjoy your frisson, KC!

    Ooh, I did I did :dance: I needed :coffee: afterwards :D

    And I now understand why modern houses have so many loos (3 in that 2 bedder) - apparently its for rentals or grown up families.... :eek: nobody wants to know/hear what anyone else is doing. I'm quoting here :eek::eek::eek:

    It is the age of central heating and cheap gas. When houses were heated by fires, rooms were all sealed off.

    Except if they put in decent doors and decent walls, no one would hear a thing. I just feel sorry for those who live in rentals after curry night - Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound with the guy who chose the vindaloo being the subwoofer... :eek:

    ooo - love the dress, was going to ask if I could borrow but in a size 6 perhaps not... very tasteful though and if she gets bored next year she should be able to get the money back on ebay!
