You are to be commended for your patience and perseverance, Juliet. And may I say, you're not alone in having difficulty understanding the accents of some of those English twits!

Admittedly, I'm getting a bit deaf these days.
Now you and your "long-suffering" husband can relax, enjoy your trip to the PIs next month and look forward, with confidence, to you starting your new job on your return.
Well done BOTH!! I'm really pleased for the pair of you.
