Being able to afford a new car is a sore subject, we dont know when he will be back at work

Sometimes, friends know how to behave more than family - so my colleague told me after his MIL stayed for 3 months.

Thats usually the case PP - i'd take friends any day before certain members of my family

My visitors did contribute sort of the last time they were here (apart from the car) but it still costs more than I think they realise. They are good visitors as far as helping out but for me the main point is the length of time they stay for, half the year is a bloody long time and then when you have another come for 2/3 months and then before you know it the others are back, it is just too much all the time. Anyway now I am having a break from the family hopefully some of my mates will be able to make it over ... I havnt been totally put off, but then they wouldnt stay for months on end .... I HOPE LOL

Abdul is on the mend thats the main thing, the rest .. well, it will work out in time mate. Has the insurance paid up yet ? and you know you are both always welcome whenever you are down this neck of the woods and of course Rocky dog

The insurance paid out on our car straight away, they were so good but as half the car was on finance and the other paid for by cash, then we are not left with much.

Rocky is following Mr PP around like a lost sheep at the moment, to the toilet, kitchen, everywhere.

Well I don't think it ended. I've posted it before, I think.
