I'm a creature of habit. I just don't like "different" things all that much. The toilets are different. They're not wrong or bad, just different. I don't like that. I also don't like having two spickets in the bathtub, one for cold and one for hot. How can one get the water to be the perfect temperature under those circumstances?

And they made a complete hash of the wiring and plumbing!! Like installing a timer for the heating, but not actually connecting it to the boiler!!

LOL!!! Wow...did you buy the place from them or are you renting?

I have two things I'm really excited about!!

Distribution for my books in the U.K. is being set up.

I have permission from a band named Vibrasol to use one of my favorite songs in an LG-15 video.

Anyway, I need to focus on finishing what I'm doing with the book, but I'll still be in and out.

I love chatting!

We bought it between the two of us. £192,500 for a 3-bed terraced house. Quite cheap for Reading.

Very nice! But what will you do if one moves out? The other pay the other half?

Good plan! How long have you and Sarah been together?

He had larger appliances than his "mumsy" did. I don't know how she ended up with that set-up. We visited his friends and they had similar kitchen set-ups. John's wasn't as bad. (John was my ex-husband.)

Jamesy, I am pleased that there are not two spigots in your bath.

Ooo congrats!
