    The first six months we lived together we didn't have a TV :kisses2:
    It was lovely.

    I have just filled the WM, TD and DW, hoovered downstairs, sorted everyones stuff for the morning, sent off a pile of job stuff for DH, cleared tile adhesive from every carpet in the house, soaked tile adhesive out of his only good pair of jeans and admired the pretty new tiles in the walk in shower. How people who work full time cope I really don't know!
