I can talk to someone in person for ages but over the phone, nope.
How are you at listening

That's what happens when your brain is subjected to SBS tv (aka sex before soccer), sport, more sport and then more of the same. I hate anything involving a ball or a bat now.

Honestly Sans, I might have to ring you anyway just so you can teach me how to talk and listen. Can't get my smilies to work so am killing myself laughing.

So when he has that....can you just up and leave or do you have a property to sell???

I had to sit for 3 mths with my son in Canada and wait for the house to sell, while OH and daughter were back in the UK ERRR.

Luckily no property to sell. As soon as visa granted we are offski!!

I am honestly starting to worry about my mental health. I really cannot be bothered with anyone right now which is very unlike me. I think its a combination of being trapped in this dullsville country and the health issues over the last year. I know i will bounce back as i always do. Just seem to be in a bubble at the moment.

So glad you are settled and happy though. Brings a smile to my face

I know mate.As much as an interest only mortgage HUGELY appeals to me, hubbie wont have any of it. So it's a repayment mortgage I was meaning.Hense the bigger cost.Hubbie's also just announced he wants to take out a 15 year mortgage - great - no life for the next decade and a half! ;o)
