Where is all the negativity???
Is it me or are there far less negative posts doing the rounds at the moment?

Apropos of absolutely boom-diddley-squat I'm headed to California this Sunday. Gonna shake the money tree for three-four months, then bundle on back down to New Zealand.
Oh negativity -- it rained today.

Stock up for winter:
1. Large container of Prosaic (larger than the summer one)
2. Large container of extra strength St Johns Wort (In case you run out of Prosaic)
3. Dehumidifier.
4. Some damp old wood for the fire.
5. A bigger umbrella than your summer one, for the winter rain.
6. Work even more overtime to pay for the electricity bill. Don't forget the companies charge more for electric in the winter.
7. Board games - for when the Sky TV cuts out due to "Rain Fade"
8. 4 jumpers per person so you can walk around the house once the sun goes down.
9. A sense of humour for when next summer is just as bad as the last 4! LOL

Re: Where is all the negativity???
Im not negative, im not even there yet but i just noticed a distinct lack of negative posts at the moment and i thought i would see if everyone had turned a corner and was loving it. Sorry to hear your not settling yet.
