Thank you for the lovely photos Chewie. What beautiful girls So happy for you both.

Maggie I expect doing that survey wore you out! I agreed to do one over the phone a couple of years ago and was astonished how quickly I got tired, even though I was just sitting down holding the phone. Never again! If anyone rings or comes to the door doing a Mori poll or something I have to explain that I have a neurological condition and can't help, sorry.

Gen - A poster on another board who lives in Aus has just moved into a new home and is doing up their previous home for sale, and trying to find nice things for the new home. She commented on how ridiculously expensive everything home-related seems to be, and that prices in general seem to be rising. She and her husband have a rather lower income than I imagine yours to be (though she says she had thought her husband earned a good wage), but I wondered if you'd noticed the same re prices rising? She isn't looking at "expensive" shops or websites, but says she wonders how people on min wage can possibly manage.

Perhaps. Ella is much better at eating. Her sister just goes to sleep as soon as she touches a human. Getting food inside her is a bit of a struggle.

We have found that the best way to get Sofia to eat is to press the button that makes the midwife come. If you call someone and say she won't eat, she always eats. That is, as long as they stay in the room and watch!

We always found that DD's hands would warm up as she was about to fall asleep, so we'd know we'd be getting a rest soon.

Amazing photos Chewie, If I were 10 years younger I would be getting all broody....

Went to see the auction house this AM - at one point it looked like they might need to bring in parking control and a uniqueue

Started hay fever pills early this year in the hope of stopping it before it started but today's warmer temperatures and light winds have shown that it has not worked...atishyou

House goes to the wealthiest person that wants it .... or the idiot that got auction fever. Many who view won't want it. The EAs probably hire people to turn up to viewings......

Do you want it? Do you think you might be the wealthiest person that wants it..... or get auction fever?

It's that thought that's always kept me going. Unfortunately, one is not in control of one's income. You really need a product or service sitting at the base of your empire, I don't, I just write stuff and hope people [a] come to the page somehow click on something.

I've just done the maths, based on yesterday's stats:

If I kept it up I'd be on £50k/year by 13th March, yes, next week
And earning £1million/year before the end of March.

In the meantime It's chilli rice and peas for lunch: The scrapings/liquid saved from the bottom of the SC chilli, mixed with a portion of plain rice and a small handful of frozen peas - and all nuked. Total cost of that lot's well under 10p.

You multimillionaires are so frugal! Anyway, better that than conspicuous over-consumption.

I'd sign up for that. Getting paid to look round other people's houses... it'd be like living the 'look what I've found' thread on the house buying board.

I've spent 4 hours outside. Almost filled up one bin with an overgrown Berberis that I like but is in the wrong place. I've also got the neighbour's bin (not sure whether that was a hint that I should be filling it as the garden needs attention... ). I've clearly gone soft over the winter as I've got blisters.

Hey ho. Time to get the mower out and attack the back lawn. Might even treat it and see if I can work out how to change the setting so it doesn't get a grade 1 cut...

A friend and I used to go viewing new builds that we'd no intention of buying just to be nosy and get an idea of the latest trends. Naughty I know and I don't do it anymore, or try to keep up with trends.

I'm another one in the garden today. Grass cut, veg plot weeded. I ache now.

Mine's easy - the wheels come off by simply turning them (no fixings to grapple with) and you then screw them into a different hole. There are three holes in total, each one gives a different grade cut.

PN - I got caught up in the yuppie - got to have everything new - 80's. Big regret, waste of money, lots of debt. I am a grown up now.
