Not fussed on that Earl Grey that you like though! Give me a cup of Tetley's - as long as it's the decaf version.
Now this is why I'm cutting down on my caffeine. It's gone 4am and I'm still awake! It doesn't help that I've got Storm Imogen blowing around outside. And it looks like my fence is going to blow down!

Yes, it was. My fence is now like the Leaning Tower Of Pisa. My neighbours were trying to prop it up their side by piling up their patio furniture against it.

The fence the other side got blown down last year. I don't know - my house seems to be falling apart at the seams. It's only ten years old (so still quite new-ish) but it doesn't seem to be as sturdy as some of the older houses.

No chance! I told my husband that I'm gonna give the fence a good kick one day (whilst the neighbours are out) to help it on its way, and then blame the weather. It's on its last legs (or rather, posts).

My neighbour is always saying that his dad will fix it, because his dad used to be a builder or something. We've offered to pay halves on everything but it's still hanging there.

I can't wait just to move house, to be honest. I'm moving to England - yay!

......... Better luck next time

Why 2 years? Is that to do with the kids schooling? Or Hubbys job etc

Either way it is something to look forward to star

Yes, all of those reasons - it's a lot to organise.

Are you saving up for a place of your own then?
