Nice people thread part 4 - sugar and spice and all things

lostinrates

A poor substitute for Carolt, creator of the original nice people neutral territory thread I've started this one as our part two and now part three was long-long.

The last thread was here:

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2900854

and part two:

In Carolt's words (mostly!)

Welcome all to the {} thread devoted to/demanded by the lovely people who hang out on MSE.

If you've just arrived here - welcome to you too :hello:, take your hat off, pull up a comfy chair and help yourself to a long cool drink from the virtual fridge (or real fridge - even better)...:beer:

This is an extension of this thread:

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/...html?t=2110023

which, at 123 pages and counting, has been deemed too unwieldy.


So - all nice people who would like to discuss the Important Issues of House Prices, the Economy and Recession (oh yes, and possibly occasionally just mention popstars, pin-ups, pets and pies, and - of course -CHOCOLATE :drool:) know exactly where to come.

Enjoy - here's some cheery smilies to get you in the mood:

:j :beer::p:D:):T;):rotfl::A:laugh: :wave::grouphug::dance:

Or just make you feel rather dizzy.

As requested.

I miss the old threads though.

LIR thank you for the new thread - time to think about 'regulars we don't see so often - Dopester, CarolT of course, Trelliac, InspectorM and many others and hope they are all enjoying real life to much to waste time here.

May be we should have a new one every week so that they don't get too long to 'catch up' if you miss a few days or are new to the board?

Many thanks lir! We've moved into our new virtual pad woohoo!!!! I vote Doozer to select the paint colours, Lydia to select the window dressings, lir to hang the bird lamp, dave to plant up the garden and missk to fill the wardrobe with shoes. Pastures I vote in charge of address redirection, michaels in charge of the housewarming music, the rest of the boys to provide the virtual alcohol, ndg to bake a virtual cake, lj to book the cabaret and everyone else (especially wageslave) to turn up in their finery! Now who have I missed?

LIR we are heading your way at the end of the month for a family do in Devon - PN has already decided she needs to head to the other side of the country that week to avoid any danger of us dropping in but if you were around we could pass on the way back and you could see how lucky you are to have kids you can hand back after a couple of hours..

You can. BUT, whichever route back you take, and I'm guessing where you are from you'd take M5/M4 while its its not a huge detour, but makes the ultimate journey longer for kids....turns it into a day rather than an afternoon/morning....is it worth that? You'd do better with a children's farm tbh, where there is more happening!

I'm not so very far from LydiaJ. Bath is not far from her, or far from me and its an easy cross country run. In fact, its easy enough for us to meet somewhere like Dyrham Park for a handover if her kids get to know us/relax here, to solve the sitter issue on longer nights out with friends/colleagues. When we get a suitable bedroom for kids anyway (we have a spare ikea mini-double).

Oh no! I like the length, and then the old ones would bump back (when people wanted to comment on recent past) up the board and be annoying.

I don't like chocolate. Am I still allowed?

Hamsters cages cleaned, and hams tickled.

I think there should be a split. Not a Chocolate Bananas Split but two forums. One, where the economy could be discussed with house prices and another, where the economy, and everything else that was not house prices were to be discussed.

yes, chocolate love is not mandatory.
