    I did that when we moved and ended up making a meal that my 6 year old said was the "best meal" I'd ever "cooked"

    Fish fingers, beans and frozen hash browns :cool: The kind that when you bite into them, you can feel the fat dripping down the back of your throat.

    As Delia was seen in a Little Chef on her way back from the football at the weekend.....I think you could be right :rotfl:

    Ooh, now I do like that.......could find a perfect stretch of "new" wall for something like that in a couple of weeks :p

    Yes, isn't it nice! I was tempted to order one for a friend's 40th. You can choose the background color to suit and have it framed or do it yourself. That is my new favourite website - it's lethal :o

    Ooh, Hypno, I'm just reading through the first posts of each of your diaries... You've come ever such a long way! :T

    Just read this from June 2008...

    "It has been my dream ever since I was a small girl, to live in a particular part of town.........I have always maintained I will be there by the time I am 40. The truth is that I am now 37 so although I am determined to be debt free by 40, I know that I won't have saved up enough to put down the deposit needed for that part of town.....so maybe 42 is a more realistic time scale.....I can cope with that..... This is my driving force really behind getting debt free. There is nothing "wrong" with the house we are in.....but it is an "it'll do for now" house in my eyes........"

    Is this the house you're moving to? You made it! :j :j :j

    No Cheery, the area she was thinking of was not at all suitable IMHO. Far too busy & noisy and not conducive to a calm state of mind. Whereas where she is buying is very calming and zen like :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
