    The ad's a bit sexist though, ensuite shower room for him and bathroom for her! I think I'd rather have the Scottish mansion that someone posted on here last week, and it was a snip at £4.5m!

    Have to say I look at similar old big houses in Leeds and think 'when I've written that bestselling novel', but at that price it'll have to be nearer 100 bestsellers!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    But that's why there's the staff apartment on the ground floor!

    Well its not unusual around here to see stuff for up to £3,000 a week but £15,000 is just stupid - who has that kind of money a week

    Its nearly £800,000 a year - in rent!!!

    You could buy a couple or three houses for that kind of money....that is just stupid....it is a nice house though....maybe its a mistake and it should be for a month....:cool:

    But Sammy thats what the staff accommodation is for :p

    You're paying for the postcode here Ames but yes I'd rather Scottish mansion too :D

    I dont think its per month - all prices are per week here to make them look less :eek:
