    Nope, definitely not selling unless we have one of the dreaded 'D's (divorce, death etc!). we bought a home for life this time, the one we just sold was our first house, we were in it over 10 years and only had to move because we couldn't fit the kids in anymore. I'm not having anymore rugrats so unless I accidentally get pregnant with triplets, I'm staying put - even then we'll build an extension first!:rotfl:

    Well I won't get pregnant - too old and Oh yes I am a man;)

    I have always bought based on my needs for a HOME and not based on the best investment. I have done the extension thing and found that quite stressful but not as much as moving.

    Eh! I feel all funny I thought you were female. Why chickmug? It sounds very feminine, unless maybe you love chickens.

    Yes you forget how stressful moving is. We had major work done on our house 2 years ago and it was stressful with 4 months of dust, dirt and strangers in the house. In comparrison I said I'd rather move but I think I've forgotten how bad that is.

    We've been here 6 1/2 years and we're only moving to be near DDs new school. It's a 40 minute drive away and I don't think I can do that drive for the next 10 years.

    I dont think Chick is a man? Just that someone called her one in an earlier post, although I could be wrong!

    Oh I see. I must have missed that. I probably read it when I was half asleep :o. I feel better now, I was struggling coming to terms with her sex change!

    Yes I am a man, always have been, no cross dressing and NO sex change, have a low feminine side and as straight as they come - ask my wife.

    Haven't you noticed how manly my posts are. Opinionated, arrogant & always right. Now wait for fatpig to say all EA's are .....?

    Where chickmug came from I really can't remember. Perhaps I should have a signature at the bottom and make it clear;)

    But are you the Devil, or indeed Devilish;)

    Or is this true, you are a member of the Royal Family? As taken from a Google search: -
