    Errrrr.....
    Same word for word except mine says older people, flats.
    I live near some sheltered housing . Richmond must be full of housing like that too. The wealthiest areas are often like retirement villages. You often have to have been earning for donkey's years to afford to buy there.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Well, I am having a pants day. It's been full of minor niggles but has just reached a somewhat yucky crescendo.

    Dh insisted we have prawns earlier. I really didn't fancy them but.....anyway, we both now have food poisoning. We worked this out half way through running a bath with two kettles and the shower hose.

    This took ages and kept tripping the electrics. Because its my birthday I got first bath. :) I was then promptly sick in it because I couldn't get out in time.

    Happy birthday lir, can you celebrate it tomorrow when you've got today out of your system?

    If it's any consolation, so does mine, although I don't think it's true.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    LIR, happy, happy birthday!

    And in the GDB household we all seem to have eaten something that does not agree with us.
