    I thought that, though it wasn't just the lips, I thought she had spent some of her treasure on her chest.

    I would spend about £300k- £400k on a house- would buy a nice 4/5 bed, detatched with big garden here, nothing fancy mind

    Would spend the rest on building up a few businesses. I'd quite like a sandwich shop, a cocktail bar and a scrap yard :A

    I loved the bit when they ofund a house for them and said somehting along the lines of 'it's an up market area, so they'll fit in with the neighbours'. Yes, becasue having lots of money automatically means you'll fit in with the upper-classes!

    I also enjoyed the young couple saying how they were now in a good position to move onto their next house... I don't know how they calculated this, since they'd lost £20,000 on the house but there you go:confused:
