My daughter and her boyfriend signed for a house this morning...

My daughter has a house....

My daughter ...has...a house...

How the hell does that even happen so fast? I swear she was playing Wendy House and finger-painting my walls only yesterday.
I suddenly feel absolutely ancient and very inadequate, since I have no means to get any furniture into said house for her.
The really good news is that it's not in this town, but in a much newer area about fifteen miles away, near the next main town - and on the bus route.

Excuse me while I go take a fit of the vapors...

Wow! Okay, now I feel old, because I´m 30 and live in my first own flat and don´t have the Intention to buy a house in the near future. Lokks like the Things are handeled different across the ocean, hmm? But, well, I hope your Girl will be lucky with her house and more impotant with her bf.

Oh, okay - it's rented and technically a maisonette - but locally it's still your 'house' (I suppose we use 'house' like home) - though the local language insists they won't be 'living' there, but 'staying' there. (It all confused the heck out of me when I first moved here!)But yeah - 17. I shouldn't be shocked because I rented a house at the same age. Still, baby's gone and grown up.I have to trust her judgement, 'cos she is grown up *crosses fingers*
