Why are we feeding the troll?

Thanks everybody! It's nice to be missed :D In other news, Baby #4 arrives in February, and I'm looking forward to some maternity leave!!

Hoping things are happy where you are, and wishing you the best for 2012 (when I predict the world will not end :D ) HofB xxx

Hi everybody, As some of you may know, we're moving interstate for work. Where we are going the property market is really competitive, and our previous trips to find a place have not been fruitful. We are good tenatns who will pay our first 3 months rent in advance and we still can't get a...

Tati - no books to recommend, but I'll share my system with you. Work out all your regular bills. Ours include rent, water, electricity, gas, phone, internet, car registration, school frees. Add up what they will be for one year (obviously adjust between annual, quarterly and monthly bills!)...

Michie - I'm with GrannieAnnie. It was a gorgeous summer day today. So I won't be much help I'm afraid.

:) It's compulsory here! And I thank the suffragettes for all their hard work. My vote is something I treasure.

Actually, it's Familiaris Consortio - John Paul II - Apostolic Exhortation (November 22, 1981) :D I had to go back and check what I wrote, it was so long ago! I think you mean this question: I like the way you ask it better. Ben wants the computer for a bit, so I'm submitting and...

I think you may be on to something there, Rebekka. The reason I said it like that was to illustrate to Creed that I believe that teachings develop in a linear fashion - with those coming after building on the work of those who went before. Obviously Benedict has come after John Paul II, so the...

I'm up for that Global - but I'm off on the school run now. I might be on later when my kids are in bed. :wave:
