Fleur @jaboUK My mother never allowed me a key to the house - not when I lived there as a child/teenager (although if she knew she would be out she would hide a key for me) nor later as an adult. A couple of our friends who live relatively close have keys to our...

Fleur How long had your son originally planned to go for? And how did they manage an extra three months, with money, work and all that sort of thing?

Fleur @jaboUK One of my uni friends did try that arrangement - she and her long-standing boyfriend invited a third friend to join them. It lasted for several years but in the end they all split up.

Fleur Yes the new LED types do seem like the way forward. Although by the time we've changed all the old spotlights to LEDs it might actually make a noticeable difference to the heating!!

Fleur Yes that's even more annoying, I have taken to keeping the empty packs and writing on them where to buy that type, as a reference for when I need more.

Fleur @TheHorse Oh yes I forgot the Philippines, not sure how! I don't really know what people are 'traditionally' included among 'Asians', I was just going by the countries in the continent of Asia. If Israelis are not 'real Asians' then what about Russians?
