Anyone else put it on series record?

DH said, "You can tell it's January when deluded escapism is back on!"

I love it, but have no intention of ever moving to Oz.

Love WDU but haven't managed to watch it yet this week so will binge watch at the weekend I think!

We know of a family who've emigrated to NZ, they went twice and returned home both times after a year and last I heard they'd gone for the third time! All in the space of six or seven years.

This is not something I watch very often, as I get a bit cheesed off with the repetition of 'it's a long flight/houses are expensive/cost of living is greater/blah that seems to occur in most episodes I've seen'. Have they not watched an episode themselves Grin

Did I hear right that they were overspending by £270 odd a month here? That's a lot.

I always get annoyed at the 'oh it's so relaxing' bits. And the looking round the houses as if that's the exact house they are going to end up in.

Todays was another classic with another railroaded partner.

Is there an evening class where these people learn how to railroad.
