    Damnit, I am only just on the train home. Will have to watch on +1.

    They're looking at lots and lots of flats.

    It's making me think I'll feel quite little should I get to move into a whole house of my own!

    It's pretty cr4p when people you don't connect with are viewing places that you aren't familiar with, looking for homes you don't want, with budgets 2x what you've got.

    And it's raining a lot there.

    I don't even know which couple, or both, are looking "in chewy's area". London's just London for me. Couldn't even find Buck House if there were a cash prize.

    I just look out the window at work and there it is.

    Congrats to Sue on more great results - did you have any results today Lydia?

    Does anyone fancy doing the washing up for me tonight, I just can't be bothered...
    I think....

    A big well done to middle son Sue. I would be annoyed about the music too if I was him, as it is important to him.

    Congratulations for stepson on his results, missK.

    LiR glad you are home, hope results are good news and pleased the nausea is now gone.

    NDG we should be advising you to visit the Old Style thread and to ebay all of OH's belongings. We might not be the best frugallers for your present cash flow strapped situation.

    Chewie, assert yourself, ask them to be quiet. Then you can tell us what happened next.

    I have been teaching my dog how to round up my chickens.

    He did it for the first time on his own tonight.

    From now on (hopefully) all I have to say to him is "chickens" and out he goes and rounds them up and puts them away for the night.

    Fantastic.

    And nice to see you being a Nice Person dryhat :)

    Fanastic.

    Dog dog and kiwi both do that. Our command for that is 'be a chicken hound will you?'. Dog dog is better. Kiwi is very good at sitting by the door and stopping hem getting out while I round up the odd stray though.

    I haven't got that far yet :)

    But it goes to show you can still improve your efficeincy and productivity while using 20,000 year old "technology" without having to borrow any money or put anyone else out of work.

    £330,000 for a 2 bed flat round my way.... I don't think this is going to go well. Bet they end up 7 miles from a train station.

    How do a man who doesnt have a job and dances around a bit and a lecturer have a budget of £450k?!
