Unhappy I don't believe it!!

I can't believe I missed it after being tipped off by BanjoJon!!
My mum telephoned from NZ of all places at 9am (she is over there visiting my brother at the moment) and we got chatting and I forgot all about it.
Thanks for the update Ebianca and also to Nicky for alerting me to Friday's episode, I will have to get the video set as the Sky+ box has got a fault on it and they are not coming to repair it until Friday afternoon - Had it been working I would have set it up last night to record the series and wouldn't be in this predicament!!!
The joys of modern technology.

Brilliant news, Nicky. Just make sure you get it in writing from him and send a copy to your solicitor.

There was a trailer on Discovery at 10.00am today for a show about wild animals. After a few moments of lions and tigers roaring and showing their teeth, the announcer said "These are the animals you don't want to piss off!"

Couldn't believe my ears!

Hiya, I watched part of it this morning, the family picked city life in Christchurch, it looked lovely, but again didn't really provide any relevant information for us. Got fed up watching the two moaning/moody teenagers so went and did my house work instead. Have spent the rest of the day dreading my kids being teenagers. Looking forward to seeing it on Monday.

This is a great start to the new year, I've seen New Zealand on tv every other day so far, this is definitely a sign that I have to get my act together and get over there.

Cheers
Gina

We watched it as well. We will be moving to the Chch area later in the year as well so this one was particularly interesting. I would have liked to see more on the schools. As for the teenage girls - I'm just glad my teenagers are boys

My boys are ok - one 'grunts' rather than talks but both are pretty good - hardly any mood swings, unlike my daughter. Give me boys any day.
