    Im sitting in front of my laptop round your mams.

    But we both know you're not Jimbo.

    This is pure fantasy on your part, much like your fantasy of buying a house "when the crash comes".

    The crash started, never stopped and is still going strong in my neck of the woods.

    Unless of course david cameron decides to invest a few hundred million into a rough northern town to create jobs, then i think there is still a few quid to be saved.

    Well if the height of your aspirations are to live in some grim Northern town Jimbo - I wish you well! It'll be nice to be near mum too if you need any washing doing or anything

    My aspirations are to have a laugh in life, living in a 4 bed detached house in the south east with a very large mortgage, will prevent me from doing this.

    And I bet you're really larging it up every night at your mums, or in the B&B, or in your caravan

    A veritable hedonist's heaven!

    The B&Bs are the best to be honest, ive got some brilliant memories from some ive stayed in, cant beat having new neighbours every week;).

    I bet you cant wait to sit back in your old age and reminisce about the good old days of BTL.

    I am quite sure.

    All those nylon sheets and fried brekkies sound just wonderful.

    No - there's no emotional attachement to them at all.

    Plan is to either give each property to my three daughters when they leave school or Uni. Either that or keep them for my pension.

    Either way, its nice to know that I've got good tenants paying the mortgage on them.

    And some of us live in very nice Northern towns. Towns that have good facilities, nice shops, easy driving around sun-dappled country lanes, little crime; country parks and lakes for walks.
