Is that a good thing?

I've built all my Christmas Lego, which also ends the current series of modular buildings so now I'm sad.

But then I looked online today and they've brought out another Creator Expert modular building! Yay! I might also have to branch out into Ninjago as they have a city building that is compatible with the Creator Expert building series.

I'm also looking at holidays because I haven't had one in ages and I need an actual holiday to relax and it's rained all day and it's cold. But my passport expired and urgh, it's too annoying getting a new one.

There's also the Fishing Store and Ghostbusters Firehouse that could be added to your street.

I love the look of the fishing store!

I’ve got an unopened Pet Store for sale at some point if you are interested?

Not really. Emotionally because it was my ex's choice and I wasn't heard and I resent that. When I bought him out it was for practical reasons not because I genuinely wanted this house. Practically, there's no real way of adding a usable 3rd bedroom, and the kitchen is too small with no way to improve.

I know some people who did one, but weren't able to figure out the puzzle. They're still in there. It's been 3 years. Their families have given up hope and moved on now.

I did one. It was fun. We escaped.

If it doesn't still have the webcam snapshots and Dimrill in it then it'll be no good. Also why can't they just get off their arses and make a sequel? Can't imagine it wouldn't sell.

Need for Speed takes up all their time nowadays sadly.

Here’s a bit of trivia: s01e13 of The Big Bang Theory in the “Bat Jar Conjecture” the boys are discussing who should join the boys in the physics bowl. Raj suggests the actress who plays Blossom because she has a Ph.D in neuroscience. She eventually joins the cast in the s03 finale as Amy. Amaze at my observed knowledge cause I’m watching that episode now.

Oh I know, the first or so 3 in the series are ridiculously expensive. I've been looking at the fire brigade, town hall, pet store, grand emporium as realistic possibilities so I'd definitely be interested in the pet store you have!

We just went to see a house and I really liked it. Really really liked it. More than I thought I would when I looked at the pictures. I'm now paranoid that I really like it because it isn't my current house, which is a possibility. I never know in these situations how much to just go with your heart and how much to be sensible. I mean, what's the worst that can happen? (Please don't actually tell me all the bad things that can happen )

Not really. Emotionally because it was my ex's choice and I wasn't heard and I resent that. When I bought him out it was for practical reasons not because I genuinely wanted this house. Practically, there's no real way of adding a usable 3rd bedroom, and the kitchen is too small with no way to improve.

And you can of course repair to the pub afterwards for the post-mortem. I found that doing it as a group of four is fairly optimum, as it gives you all opportunity to contribute and discuss things in a measured manner. I've done it in larger groups and it can become a bit of a bun fight. And you want to do it with clever people in order to succeed in the more mind-bending logic puzzles, but make sure they're not too clever. I did one with a scientist from CERN and I was even more of a spare wheel than usual.

I did one. It was fun, although I was the only person in there who could sudoku, so I spent quite a long time solving that. We didn't escape, although we were only a few minutes out (they showed us the solution at the end).
