    Steady on ws :D

    It's Ok. I can almost guarantee that within the next 48 hrs, someone will voice an entirely misguided opinion about house prices and I will be back to growling at the laptop.

    I am not sure my heart will be entirely in it though:o

    We read a great deal about the negative side of the internet, the weirdos and the not-so-virtual sharks who prey on the trusting and the vunerable. The scammers and the downright perverted who have supposedly turned the digital city into their playground.

    I know they are out there, I am not a fool.

    Perhaps the internet (being that things are written/published and 'stored') makes those things seem bigger? I mean, the above have and will always exist..it's up to the non scammers/non weirdos etc to spot them wherever they lurk.

    Are you going to write a book inspired by it?

    There is a book here but fiction wouldn't do it justice.

    I doubt I could either TBH

    It's a Manchester suburb. My OH's best friend just moved from there. It's dull in the extreme. It has a quite big Tesco's. That's about it.

    What a small world we live in.

    He could at least come from somewhere a bit more exotic ie somewhere 've never been and am never likely to go to.

    I worry about you, I really do.

    You make me appear sane and that takes some doing.

    Do you ever actually do any work at your place of employment?

    pixels have wrecked my eyes..i now need glasses to read...
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.
