Anyone decipher this little nugget from my youngest?

I said I wonder why I am so thirsty tonight and his reply was "Because of the teddies" Planet Zog time I feel....

Teddies, or tennis?
Have you been watching tennis/has it been on - and did he think you might be thirsty as tennis players are thirsty?

Our back garden is north facing, we thought this to be totally wrong. In practice, the sun streams down the garden and all but one corner of the patio gets sun in Summer. On hot days it is pleasant not to have sun streaming in through the windows but to look out on a sunny garden.

This was uber-enclosed on all sides too... and a small garden. I doubt there'd be any sun anywhere in it except mid summer.

If I can't easily see the sun, from sun up to sun down .... I hibernate.... like now.

We will rent in the areas that we like on paper just to get the true feel and see them in their real light, as many NP's have kindly advised

I have rented in a few areas I thought I'd like (on paper). Hated them all so far in reality. It's not until you start trying to live your life somewhere that you realise its downfalls.

After something a sibling said last week on the phone, I think I really want/need something that I didn't think I'd want: I think I need to be in a town.

Thank's GDB we will as I said to silvercar be renting, and if need be go into B&B until a rental pops up somewhere, we will follow our thoughts and think positive and we are sure that we will be guided along the way. Thank's.

You might be able to get a cheap holiday caravan to tide you over until the 2nd week of July. Somebody might prefer to rent to you for, say, May/June rather than the hassle of having two 1-week bookings in that period with the changeovers.

Anyway, in true MSE-fashion, the reason I really came here right now was to post this: http://blog.makezine.com/2013/01/31/how-to-5-mobile-phone-projector/ - if you've a posh phone..... you need to do this!!

I've seen these magnifiers for £1 in the Poundland-type of shops ..... in fact I bought one in the past year (parent uses it for looking at small print when glasses aren't cutting the mustard).

AND - on the subject of posh phones... I still need/want one and haven't got one.

As I believe, it got as far as this:

PN: I want a posh phone soon
Michaels: XYZ is the best one, right now
Zagubov: I agree

Bit later on:

PN: I want a posh phone, NOW
Michaels: Er, wait a bit, might be something better
Zagubov: I agree

Now it's:

PN: I WANT A POSH PHONE NOW!!!!

Any ideas?

My criteria was: I will text a few times a month, make 1-2 short calls a month. I want to be able to take the best photos possible. I might want to try some short videos/that malarky. I will probably want to snap a photo to Twitter, or to another hosting site.... and generally be an annoying person who shares snaps they've just taken. Internet browsing is, pretty much, essential.

Oh - has to be cheap, of course.

Last recommended phone, by both, was: http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/huawei-ascend-g300-1077239/review

Grumbler's got some good advice about my phone on this thread. Shame you need a flash as there's a stunningly cheap phone available here for under £40 but with no flash and only 3Mb pictures.

I don'#t know if the Huawei 330's out yet. Oh yes it is and it's 160 ish from here. Check the camera reviews thiough . Is 5Mp enough?:D

Looks like information overload that I won't be able to digest ..... and ... the really hard bit: decide!

Whole raft of confusing stuff on there. First two links and questions are: OS, Network?
