The run away

At what point do you stop "staying at a friends house" and start "living
with" your friend? This is a perplexing question which I have been
pondering for a short time. Is the answer simply wherever you spend more
than 50% of your 'home' time? Is it more than that?
Life is always such a puzzle.
I've probably told most people in person or on MSN, but the excitement
of this week has been the prospect of getting a new car. (Well, second
hand, but new to us...) The one Chris and I are considering is a SAAB
1998 model which was first registered in 2000. The owners live in
Sydney, but are moving overseas and need to sell their car. It's hard to
say if you want to buy a car having just seen photos of it, but Chris is
fairly convinced. (I'm becoming convinced too, and I'm always such a
skeptic.)
Dean kindly offered to go and check out the car for us, as well as
complete some of the paperwork. Last night we visited Drew and Dean to
try and organize things a little further. After speaking with Dean, I am
so glad that he knows what he's doing! It sounds like there is so much
stuff you have to worry about when you buy a car privately that it
barely seems worth it. Chris and I are so lucky that Dean and Drew know
what they are doing. Anyway, maybe this time next week I might be
driving a roadworthy car??!! Very exciting.

i hate to be the devils advocate.. well not really.. but.. id be hesitant about buying a car without having seen it in person.. wiht someone who knows the little things to look out for in a used car to tell if its been looked after. presumably being a saab it would have been looked after.. but yeah. u know a lot about photography and stuff and how easily pics can be manipulated to get the best look of it etc.. just a word of warning

if this question pertains in any way shape or form as to whether or not you live with chris the answer is yes yes you do so hurry up and realise it.
