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.Morgage till Nov 30 GOAL MFW Sept 2016Aug 11 - £100k Aug 2016.... It's GONE!!!!!

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.0 -
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.

There are two schools ten minutes away that I would almost kill to work in, but people only leave in a box.0 -

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

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.
