I love Generali's comment "Cheap is my second favourite price" (not that he's the nutter!)

So in the light of the nutters, I have to ask. Did you sell because you never got the infinity pool...;)?

I notice the cheapskates just went for patio door with fixed lights rather than the 10k multi-fold doors and that bath - what is wrong with a single piece of stone rather than that horrible plastic wrap top.

I don't think the colour is practical but I am looking for a big corner sofa and I like the high ceiling bits, I notice they have also copied me with the black vertical rads.

Doozer, i wish you would stop posting pictures of your work, it makes me cross that you and h live too far to be my team for the wreck. You and i would have great fun decorating.

Pastures, re the Lego. Have a look at my avatar and you should be able to work the first one out.

My favourite one is the second one, I had to get the others before I could get that one, but it makes me chuckle now I can see it.

I have looked at your Avatar and I am no wiser.:(

Feeling excluded.

It's me, but it was done in a program where you upload a picture and it runs something called "Simpsonize Me".

That looks nothing like you viva. I just thought you must be a Simpson's fan.

No, it never became a beachside property! And we entirely rebuilt the unconverted gable wall. Like I said in that thread, we wanted it but it was too far for normal life to take place with the family help and friendships we have which are after all, the most important things. But my heart and soul went into that place. I've had times over the last year where I've wondered if it's all worth it, but looking at it (despite the crap picture of the front) it makes me really proud that we've left our mark in little corners of this bit of the world. From upstairs you could see across the village to the church and then watch the sunset over the Malverns across the river directly West. It will be a beautiful home for someone. At the time I didn't hold out much hope for the couple that bought it, I wonder if that's why.

I do have a better pic of it, I'd send it to the EA to change it, but I'm not interfering

Nope, that is officially the Simpson's version of me. Clearly I'm not as good looking in real life though.

You cheeky so and so :eek: The multifold doors are in the kitchen and I bet you won't be putting a stone bath in your prospective development either!

I get the lego cartoon figures but don't know them all.

Did you sell it in that condition Doozer?

You did ok for owning it for 1 year 7 months but I guess you did a lot of work to it.

Does that mean you get "hit on" more on here than in real life?
