    Normally we aren't bad in them, as I do the shopping he just pushes the trolley, entertains the kids and maybe mentions the odd item that he would like, I then ok whether we can afford it:p

    I don't even know exactly what started the row, but I sure as hell wasn't going to back down and take responsibility for it when it was him who started it, well grown up me:rotfl:

    I once stormed out of asda and left the shopping and walked home after one of our rows :o

    Its why we do it online now :rotfl:

    Aless - excellent news on the flat, and yes it is horrible moving, we have done it many times and I am really reluctant to ever move again! Glad youfound somewhere perfect so quickly:)

    That's awesome, Aless :) are you getting a) less rent, b) more space, c) clearly a nicer area it sounds! How fast will you move?

    I had a look for our old Life in the UK book but we couldn't find it. Once you read it and remember the random statistics (order in population of UK religions...etc), it's quite easy I believe.

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Can guarantee you wouldn't without revising, Krystal! The questions are mostly really, really dumb demographics and statistics type questions as I recall. No-one knows that stuff innately!

    I think maybe only people that want to move to the UK know all that stuff.

    They should test a few people from the UK mixed with some people from other countries and see if they can spot the person from the UK :p

    Im off now, making Fajitas for dinner :D

    I love this post. Can you see the irony between the last line and the rest of it (I'm not sure if you meant this?):p

    :j for new place Aless - were you scouting the location when you went sphereing? :D

    Also, if you want to sell the books after you do the citizenship test please give me a shout, it would probably be a good idea for us to have a copy for when we move back to the UK.
