Debate House Prices

This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics.

Shall we have our own 12 month house price survey then?

    What could it be?

    Use the search this thread thing at the top with "prize"

    I spotted a lapdance from fc123 and something from someones stationary cupboard listed amongst the results, rich pickings indeed.

    Ahhhh yes, that's what it was.

    A lapdance from FC123, a slightly used George Soros book from Cleaver, a freebie Jack Daniels turkey baster and wallet from Sabretooth, something from someones stationary cupboard, a painting from sue's kid, and last but definitely not least, Brownies (or a cake) from lostinrates.

    We are SUCH a bizarre bunch of people....:rotfl:

    Edit: It seems the lapdance prize has been withdrawn. :(

    tsk tsk...they would want a refund and I am in the wrong age bracket :o...no it was a sample from last Autumn...but they were hotpant/catsuity things. If Hamish wins (and he seems to be on a winning streak right now) I know exactlly what I would send his wife as I know what he liked from my ranges.

    Going to be down to Cleaver to trawl his thread and list the prizes...tactfully.:)

    Not quite, 4% is in the "slightly deluded" section. Poor show Cleaver!

    The official stats mean nothing. They're all made up by the government and mortgage lenders to suit. Anyone who gives them much credence needs their head examined.

    From the origainal post a year ago:

    None of this, "well, it depends whether the government do x,y,z" or "well, with this false economy we all know what they should be". Just how far up or down you think the average price will be in 12 months time, keeping absolutely everything in mind.

    Well, I think I did quite well....I said could be up, could be down but I was completely confuzzled as to which it would be.

    Well, it's been up and down!
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.
