    Rest of our fence blew down (which we were expecting) but now I am wondering whether to claim on buildings ins. We have never made a claim in 17 years at this house.
    If we do, would our premium go sky high (so the saving ends up costing more in the long run in higher premiums)?

    Check your policy. The chances are very high that garden fences are excluded. So, looking on the bright side, at least that's one thing you don't have to worry about. :)
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    I received 3 emails all day which suggests the office wasn't particularly busy!

    Our office felt like it was 5.15 on a Friday pretty much all day. I think it was more to do with half term than the weather though.

    You make me feel better about being prudish for not wanting to claim. :)

    Bins were blown over but everything else surprisingly untouched. Branches down in the park but no trees knocked over.

    Drove DS to shops (no trains but buses all running). Town centre was mobbed, took ages to park. Had to text my p and m as if they hear of anything bad happening in the South of England they assume I'm the victim :o.

    Frequency of sex with age doesn't sound like it changes at all:

    30 - 40 year olds : tri-weekly
    40 - 50 year olds : try weekly
    50 + year olds : try weakly

    Well, for these 30-40 year olds - not-being-pregnant, an awful lot more. Being pregnant, at the moment anyway, with massive nausea, definitely not hitting thrice-weekly!

    The michaels family are lovely yorkie, :)

    The family are lovely, just a shame about Michaels :)
    I mean, they have ones he likes that I don't and that I do that he doesn't.

    Hmm - there must be a solution but I just can't think what it is...

    Seeing pics of huge trees which have been felled by a storm always makes me feel sad - the tree has survived for so many years, but is now no more.

    If it's in a woodland, then it carries on being part of the eco-system for years, becoming home to endless creepy-crawlies, sheltering hedgehogs, growing fungi, etc. Not necessarily an abrupt stop.
    DH said office was dead today.

    Very quiet in central London today - half the stalls on Whitecross Market weren't there, and there were a couple of trees down on the pavements at Old Street, too.

    The non Mse one is to just spend more on the ones that make both of us happy, surely. The alternative is that one of us accept that the on doms aren't their preference and just suck it up. Now, I'm falling in to old habits, must stop it. :naughty::whistle: its how you are reading it.

    Omg, bad typo, bad , bad typo. On doms was meant to be condoms, Obviously.

    I am going to show my age here...why do married couples need to use these for contraception.

    I am assuming it is safe because of the 'married' bit. That is how I think it works.

    I was thinking the mse way would be to find another couple with the opposite preferences....
