Alright, now that my thread has been well and truly corrupted...mostly by me...
I finally managed to tell my mum that Shellbda and I had bought a house as an investment. She took it quite well, but then I did sort of change the subject when she asked me what the long term plans were for the property...

I chickened out...what can I say! I need her to babysit for me too much over the next two weeks for work reasons, so I can't afford to upset her too much right now as I can't afford to have her not speaking to me again! So, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it...but at least she took the news about the house okay...she wasn't deliriously happy, however there were no tears or guilt...so I'm okay with that. I'm rambling now...stay tuned...
