    It's true. The papers tend to attack anything that they know they can't get knocked back on. (nursing and military both have confidentiality clauses).
    :(

    Not to disappoint you but I do love Prince Harry. I feel sorry for him cause he actually seems to want to be a soldier and isn't just doing it cause the royal family all "have to".
    :o

    Ah, my granny just keeps asking about a ring and when she needs to buy a hat.
    :doh:

    I am so tempted to send you the link to my dream house so you can "aaaaaah" at it with me. Then talk me out of loving it so much.
    :(

    Should really go to bed soon. I am back up at 06:25 for day number 3. It's going to be more challenging as we are short-staffed but I think it will still be really good.

    Captain Wales isn't half as ginger in real life as he looks in the papers - he also manages to make the new design uniform look good. ;)
    He does come across as a career soldier and by all accounts is good at what he does without playing on the royal thing.

    Go sleep, you can tell us about the dream house tomorrow -I'll be here I have no life. :rotfl:

    I won't be here until like 20:00 tomorrow. I will PM you and you can have a look at it tomorrow. If you look at it tonight, then we both might end up dreaming about it.
    :p

    He's not that ginger??
    :eek:

    My world has just imploded.

    I missed so much whilst I was sleeping!

    I think we complete the trinity of professions the media love to hate, I'm a teacher. We're getting lots of stick atm for striking but Gove is a horrendous education secretary and has stupid policies :mad:

    I'd love to see a pic of your dream house stewby. Why don't you do a SOA as if you bought the house and see how it would affect your debt busting?

    I love a Prince Harry but am going to be disappointed if he is not all that ginger! I love ginger hair! And a uniform, and the fact he's a prince and I could be a princess... Getting a bit carried away :rotfl:

    Anyway better get ready, it's INSET today :j so got a day of flu jabs, health checks and IT training. But we do get a free lunch today :)

    Hope you all have lovely days

    Ps I think I draw the line at cleaning my own wheelie bin, I've taken it out of the food budget as think it's vital to have a clean bin, especially with having 5 pets

    Quick reply as I need to leave for work. (Can't be late on my third day).
    :p

    The mortgage alone would be about £1000. Which I could afford along with the other housey stuff that comes along. The problem is I would have no money left to pay my debts until OH gets a job.
    So it's not really rational but it is just such an amazing house. I was hoping to get it £220,000 which would give me that mortgage payment. I am just in two minds about everything just now.
    :o

    Ah, I must go. See you later fmess and scubanagel and anyone else who is reading.

    What she said.

    And I can see how much more gorgeous it could be redecorated.

    I'd say you just need the OH to find a job, saw the thread you posted last night asking about the chances of getting a mortgage being unlikely on your salary alone, might be doable if you're both earning though, especially since you've supported the household on one salary to now.
