Solicitors suck, estate agents are arrogant and highly impolite, And morgage providers are some of the biggest crooks in the world. Valuations are just one big massive rip off and part exchanging your house ..... well dont even get me started on that. I tell you what I had better come out of this whole buying and selling thing with a mighty fine house or I will be really pissed.

In other news my sister has entered the world of living on beans and alcohol, being constantly skint and wearing dirty clothes - Thats right she has become a student. Leicester will never be the same again.

That said my mother seems to be coping well with the loss of her last born and has not (touch wood) been ringing me every available minute like I expected.

And continuing from my last entry with the stupid things your kids say - Mine have had some crackers this week.

Joanna: "If a tree falls in a forest on top of a boy and squishes him so he's dead ... Will the tree die???"

Ethan after being caught red handed at school throwing stones at the deputy head teachers car ... "I didnt do it"

Joanna: "Mammy .. what's a solicitor and why dont you talk to them like normal people?"
