Sounds like you're going to have a friend in every street juski! :p I might have overstated.. it's not that many people! ![]() And then there are those friends of ours who are now looking at building too... LV is looking more and more like their chosen path. Hoping they get a block within a comfy stumbling distance ![]() I'm sure your friends understand that you are busy... we all are. The best friends are the ones that forgive you for having your own life, but you still are just as close when you catch up even if there is a long time in between. The abovementioned friends are probably those we see the most, we all work similar hours and all like to just sit and drink wine and talk a lot, so it's low-maintenance socialising ![]() 5.5m Terrace House - Lightsview (Northgate SA) Moved in!! - 22 February 2013 /viewtopic.php?f=31&t=53455 J_and_T's House Build in Lightsview 65Oct 29, 2012 10:12 pm ![]() ![]() I know what you mean by social life taking a backseat!

Feel free to whinge anytime! It all sounds very familiar.. Don't have businesses to run but we both work a lot.. Very long days. But in saying that I know I'll be sad once the build is done in a strange way.. Has been a lot of fun (and yes stress!) so far.. I'll be glad to have more free time though.. Problem is we will have a whole lot less money lol!

Haha (wow, i sound like a loser!) I am not one to judge - at all!

We got foxtel when we moved into our current place to keep us at home more often (used to spend a lot on weekends when I lived in the city and he in Norwood) - I think it is a sound investment. ![]() J_and_T - spill - what are you watching? 5.5m Terrace House - Lightsview (Northgate SA) Moved in!! - 22 February 2013 /viewtopic.php?f=31&t=53455 Re: J_and_T's House Build in Lightsview 69Oct 29, 2012 10:21 pm Ive gone back to the start, and im watching Grey's Anatomy from Season 1 right through... just an episode or two before bed.

I think I out-embarrass you. I was watching Hart of Dixie which I admit is a terrible show but for some reason I still watch it. My true love though is Vampire Diaries. I can't help it. I am completely sucked in. Are you sure we don't have the same T? That sounds just like mine except he is currently playing NBA 2K13 instead of Fifa. The video games are a big part of why we have an upstairs lounge in the new house... 5.5m Terrace House - Lightsview (Northgate SA) Moved in!! - 22 February 2013 /viewtopic.php?f=31&t=53455 Re: J_and_T's House Build in Lightsview 71Oct 29, 2012 10:27 pm Yeh... possibly the same T... or isnt every man like that though?? I now cannot tell whether it is Live Soccer, or Fifa game soccer. They all sound the same to me. And technically we don't have a home theatre... it should be re-named "T's room to play Fifa and hang his bass guitar that he never plays" June12 - Land settlement (18 x 27.5) Jan13 - External selections complete April13 - Selections complete viewtopic.php?f=31&t=60306 Re: J_and_T's House Build in Lightsview 72Oct 29, 2012 10:29 pm I've noticed that with this new NBA game the commentary is so natural, it's like a real game. No repetition or anything. Some games, it is the same stupid sound bite over and over again, it makes me want to throw the Xbox at the wall. 5.5m Terrace House - Lightsview (Northgate SA) Moved in!! - 22 February 2013 /viewtopic.php?f=31&t=53455 Re: J_and_T's House Build in Lightsview 73Oct 29, 2012 10:31 pm Hahaha... ahhh boys and their toys!

Hahaha Love Foxtel! ![]() I used to love Big Brother as a teenager.. now my sister watches it religiously and I can make fun of her because I don't! I used to love True Blood, I'd heard of Vampire Diaries but thought it would be too lame and teenagery (must have temporarily forgotten that I love lame and teenagery). It came on once when I left FOX8 on in the background... hooked. Dance Moms! That teacher woman is so horrible!
