Cheering on the family is becoming a habit!

Morning Scone am consigned to my mobile today as DS has taken control of my laptop so I will be a bit slower than normal.

Not sure what to make of this lot, they seem keen and have the support of their family so why haven't they done it before now?

Oh that's lovely.

Seems a bit harsh to show them a flat when they want a house and then make out like she is being picky.

Ok. If he earns 30 grand here, similar standard of living means he needs around 75k Aussie dollars.

SconeInSixtySeconds · 14/02/2013 09:26

Yikes, that is a lot less than he needs. Not sure why hE doesn't realise that.

MrsReiver · 14/02/2013 09:27

All he can see are weekends off.

I`m just feeling a bit meh about this family

SconeInSixtySeconds · 14/02/2013 09:30

Yup. Forty grand less than you thought must be a shock.

MrsReiver · 14/02/2013 09:31

I'm the same Dreams, I don't really care if they move or not Smile

I couldn't leave a grandchild.

DreamsTurnToGoldDust · 14/02/2013 09:35

I just couldnt leave one of the kids even when they completely do my head in!

MrsReiver · 14/02/2013 09:36

I don't know, the world is a lot smaller these days, but I'm used to members of my family being scattered all over the world.

DreamsTurnToGoldDust · 14/02/2013 09:37

Not 20 mins of them in England now is it

MrsReiver · 14/02/2013 09:37

He is a very noisy breather.

Floralnomad · 14/02/2013 09:37

I definitely wouldn't go without my kids

DreamsTurnToGoldDust · 14/02/2013 09:39

I could happily leave anyone else Mrs, but not my children, but I could understand if they left if that makes sense Grin

Passmethecrisps · 14/02/2013 09:40

Missed the start.

MrsReiver · 14/02/2013 09:41

He's only saying that so his parents will go, he doesn't want to stand between them and their dream.

OP posts:
DreamsTurnToGoldDust · 14/02/2013 09:42

They seem determined to go

MrsReiver · 14/02/2013 09:42

You've missed absolutely nothing Crisps. A total non event of an episode.
