My hobby much to mr monkeys annoyance is looking at show homes, they really "sell" them with the interiors.
Mr monkey always comes backthat our house is more of a "home" complete with monkeys and clutter:) and full of ideas to knock down walls etc:eek: after we saw a new house in the summer I've banned him from accompanying me:)
Thanx
Yes it's a new build (I sound such a snob!) so very un msebut after living here for more than a decade (not nice area
) we decided if we're going, we're doing it in style
I've loved looking at the show homes and it's a big shock when you realise just what isn't included. One of the house builders here doesn't even turf the garden :eek:Historic Debt August 2009 = £63,600 10th March 2017 = £0 100% paid all gone!
Mortgage started June 2015 = £170,000 January 2022 = £134,000

Hi can you tell me where you find the new claims section please.0 -

sometimes it is impossible to change their minds and we just have to let them learn by their mistakes:(
The head at our junior school did the same - he was a very talented musician - piano and trumpet and other instruments. He came to the late teens and the exam years and he dropped it all, everything. He didn't touch an instrument at all again until his early 20s going through teacher training and he then took them all up again.
He was a fabulous teacher - the school had a very rich programme of music and drama all organised and powered by him.
My 3 all did various instruments and sadly stopped when they finished high school but I still keep all of the instruments in the hope that some day ...“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove. Every day will allow you, --will invite you to add something to the pleasure of others, --or to diminish something of their pains.”0 -

Are the Udi's giving the same return as before? Doesn't take much to confuse me I'm afraid!
Sarah, sorry to hear that your DS treated you that way, thats not good.
Dipdab - well done on the house sale, that was quick!
Had a call from fracture clinic, DS has an appointment tomorrow for his dislocated knee. Bit short notice, but luckily its my day off. A&E had said it would be a week or two, so a bit surprised it is tomorrow.
Thanx HunThat's great news Dip just goes to show all that running round with the paint brush and doing like the House Doctor advises has been worth it:THope all goes well for you and try not to get too stressed:A
Sending out lots of Hugs as seems many peeps have need of them and a little chocolate too for the feel good factor;)
Looking forward to 2nd episode of Broadchurch tonight.
ThanxI'll try not to.
