Husband has been in Wellington since last August , so we are finally a family again !!

[tea drinker]

Does that mean that the date of the virtual house warming party has changed Neil? :D
Great news about the house :nice1

[Helsandfamily]

Great news - Any pics ???

[L00pback]

Well done Mrs V. :nice1

It has been proven (by the way) that when a man gets a cold, he will suffer more than a woman will with the same cold (can't find a link but it was a couple of weeks ago as we were packing to move - I found it funny). Its to do with those pain thresholds/hormones used in giving birth or something.

Well done on the house, I'll be up for the house warming - we should be able to walk to it in a few mins - leave front door, walk along beach a bit and we'll be there!

Cheers

Alan
