Re: inlaws and out laws whats the longest theyve stayed!?

All I will say is that I will never be as inconsiderate a house guest as they were. I'll make sure I don't take advantage of anyone's hospitality.

Trouble is, they had such a great time with us...

Re: inlaws and out laws whats the longest theyve stayed!?

Brother-in-law and girlfriend came out for 3 weeks. Was not a good experience. We made the big mistake of telling them to treat the house as their own. Don't speak to them any more.

Thanks for your reply even if it isn't what a mother wants to hear about her child.

She asked for feedback at the time and her supervisor said that the only thing that let her down was her accent.

Re: Show us your tatts ...

Kyle had it done somewhere in Palm Beach. I'll ask him and let you know. He's had it now for almost a year and it's healed no probs. I'm not that keen on tats but I do like this one.
