    Seeing as they're going to be living so close(?), do you plan on staying friends with them? I also think you should consider combining your money and buying a nice big place together, I think it'd be... sweet.

    Soooo soooo Happy.

    All done with completion now the friday after next (as my vendor needs another week)

    Over the moon. I will have to be muted tonight as the Clampetts are dining with us once more (as a thank you).
    :T:T:T:p:T:p:T:T

    Now, I am a little happier with the world!

    Also, I was wrong about the Huscats ashes. Mrs C was with Mrs J earlier in the kitchen and opened up the urn. She reached in and pulled out a little see through bag containing some gravel like material which Mrs C says was the cat. Thats all well, but the bag was covered in husband dust material bits, of which (according to Mrs J) are now buried in the fibres of my suede dining chair, so unless henry Hoover can suck him out, looks like a bit of Clampett will be moving with us.

    yes good to see a happy ending, whether or not it was all true or a bit of a tall story provided for entertainment purposes only :)

    Yay! So happy for you, well done on exchanging! :j

    You do realise though that you've committed yourself to at least another 2 weeks of Clampett Hospitality don't you?

    Please don't pull out any more stops for them or they may wrangle around £8k worth of benefits from you in about 14 days!!
