    I've recently changed campuses and it has reduced my petrol no end, used to fill up every other week, full tank of diesel, bits it every 3rd week. I also spend much less of my life in traffic and a much nicer scenic journey.

    Lovely thought. Moving would mean 20k of fees easily. We would take ten years to get the money back.

    DH is also a bit of an immovable object...two youngest babies born in this house.
  • Yes, moving is so crazy expensive now. I dream of walking to work and there are four large schools within walking or cycling distance but nobody ever leaves them, and I spend three hours a day and a small fortune travelling. I am well up on current affairs though.

    Ha ha. Me too Squirrel.
    There are two schools ten minutes away that I would almost kill to work in, but people only leave in a box.

    :wave:

    How does OH fit into your socks, A? Are they super-stretchy or what?

    Phone calls in the loo? Actually in the cubicle? Gross. Same peeps that don't wash their hands too, d'ya think?

    Glad you getting out with Ponyplops ... not long to go till the longer evenings!

    He just pulls them until they fit. This is not conducive to long lived socks!

    No the call wasnt in the cubicle...but still. Who wants to make a call to a background of lavatory...noises??

    It was lovely to get ponyplops out. Forecast to be cold at the weekend.

    Sold another thing on ebay.

    £3 from a survey straight to the mortgage.
  • Well done. Your house must be emptying nicely.
