How many Agecies are TOO many?

Danfur - long time no hear! You OK?

Yes I'm fine Jenny, sorry I didn't reply to you the other day. Had my bro and his girlfriend staying here for 5 weeks while their house has been getting done up and trying desperately to get wedding stuff sorted seeing as it is getting nearer and nearer.
