    Hmmm, get a 4 bed with garden.

    Is this thinking ahead for little Chewies or are you going to run a boarding house?

    You're not in a cake shop by any chance?

    No. I did to to Costco earlier which:

    - Sells cake
    - Has a lot of fat people

    It is remarkable how fat the average Australian Costco shopper is. Not that I have anything against fat people.

    I think he definitely mentioned nibbleshistoesoffs were on the near horizon.

    Dh was right about the party. My left eye stopped sharing information with my brain about an hour after I typed here with dancewant would have been a nightmare if we were half way into
    London, in a car dh is not insured to drive! Then I crashed out into a deep sleep not long after.
    Still, it felt amazing to feel really properly alive:). I had forgotten how that feels...the want to actually go, do and dance......It's been a long time since I wanted to dance till I sweat! In fact, I thought I was getting to old for that. Omg, is it an early midlife crisis? :eek::o

    I know I'm not a fully paid up NP - but I am also trying to move.
    Just at the one year anniversary of putting the house on the market; have had the same buyer all the time, but at least 5 collapsing chains. Looking a bit more promising this time, but we've been there before so no celebrating yet!

    Welcome hjd. Hope your chain holds together this time. Your buyer must be very grateful to you for hanging on. Have you found somewhere to buy yourself?

    Yes, I think he did, too. If he has some, I wonder which of his valuables they will put in the washing machine?

    Oh lir, so sorry it didn't last. Hope the wonderful well feeling comes back again soon. :)

    DS has had a cough for several weeks that doesn't want to go away. DD got it a bit more recently. This morning she has a fever and has been coughing to the point of throwing up. :( Appointment with out of hours doctor at 10:30.

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    That's a posh alert on so many levels:

    1) You are going to throw a big party and can afford to
    2) You are booking a band to play
    3) Your garden is so big that it will accommodate both 1 and 2 at the same time.

    Same here. My DS got a cough and fever two weeks ago. The fever left but the cough's persistent. Spoke to a doctor about it. Post viral cough can last for up to 5 weeks before it needs more of a look into, apparantly, so he's going to have to put up with it for a good bit longer.

    Different if the cough's "productive" IYKWIM especially if green's the colour.
    Independently now DD's got it and she hasn't seen DS in ages.:(

    I think it is a wise move to "out yourself" with posh alerts.

    I am impressed though. What sort of band is it?

    Unfortunately for the rest of the world, the former. We can only hope that OH has a lot of dominant genes.

    And I may have mentioned the good schools in the general area?:beer:
