    Ah sorry, I asked a silly question, but in mitigation I found the following confusing: "we would put the current rental amount into it each month. Would cost a little more than currently,"

    So, he rents at the moment, but would in future rent from your mum? That could put a strain on the relationship. There are always tensions between landlords and tenants.

    Who said mum? :D. Parent i said. I doubt more of a strain that living with them will do, in fact, rather ease any i thnk. Because between the three of us there will be two places to be. Not rent from, rather buy with.


    It might all be financially impossible. My parents havej not been as tight as dh and i have, and its terrfiying looking at them spend money atm.

    I like the sound of: Dad will buy the pad.

    (I was probably a poet in a previous incarnation.)
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Warning, posh alert and all that. It doesn't really qualify as an MSE if you measure value in terms of pence per unit of alcohol, though.
    I think....

    Explain it. While I had a film camera aged 8 to about 30, I only ever bought a dozen films as it was too expensive (inc the cost of developing)

    Done nothing all day. It's impossible if you're on your own to get the motivation to dream up where to go .... especially when the roads are so full/busy with tourists. Beach overcrowded by people with family/friends; pubs overcrowded with family/friends. No interest in shopping. It's too hot to walk (I get lightheaded in hot sun and when walking). Don't have a "sense of place" without a fixed address, so no desire to join groups or investigate stuff that requires joining.... feeling "on hold" until my next move.

    Being a non photographer I have had to work at this.

    The film (being taken out of its black bag and exposed to the light,) will be ruined.

    Please tell me that is right.

    If it was Cabernet I may have went for it but I find Blanc a bit "rough".

    Not been keeping up but hope everyone is fine. :beer:
