Well, there'll be 5 of us in the house, 3 of us like to surf the net a little too much. So to be fair, we're going to network the house straight away before going online, so that no arguement ever has a chance to break out. The other 2 are starting a week later, once the network is ready. If I just logged on here, getting the networking done would be somewhat slower... If we forbid eachother of the internet until we get all the essential things sorted, including very important things like buying stocks of food, cuttlery etc., then we me actualy have the house up and running before term starts smiley - laugh

Well, that's the theory anway...

As the family house is still there to come back to, it's not quite the same I guess. A lot of packing still to do however.
