My appetite's quite tiny at the moment. I've been losing a lot of weight. In fact, if the weightloss continues I might start to think I've got some undiagnosed terminal thing going on!

How much smaller are you from when we met last year?

Looks like a cross between a curry house and a brothel, to me. So I reckon LIR's plans are safe.............

I'm actually aiming for brothel come gastropub. None of that foreign muck 'ere.


I actually quite endeared towards the flat silvercar linked. Again, not my taste, but definitely more Barbara Cartland than the first IMo. And not so clean looking. and quite funny. I like the stripe fabric on the sofa.

I reckon I could enjoy being an EA! I quite enjoy seeing houses and what you can do with them.

I'm underwhelmed with posh houses in the south east ( not that I couold ever afford one) as they're about as flat and empty as a movie set building with their dual aspect lounges. You can see alsmost every room from the front and they're all width and no depth.

Much more impressed by narrow deep houses that go back for miles.

Tony Blair used to call No 10 the Tardis as it had endless rooms and space for hundreds of staff. Been in terraced houses that are like that on a smaller scale and have been in tenement flats that look on the inside as if they're big enough to cross into different time zones.

Having said that the biggest house we probably lived in was one just like this (but with the 1st/2nd floors reversed IYSWIM). 4 not 5 bedrooms though as we used one of the bigger rooms as a dining room.

Rofl, our house is definitely all front. When we first got here I used to think ' not another door' and people start to laugh sometimes when I'm taking them though To the kitchen, through rooms in increasing state of 'unfinished' and never quite seeming to get to the kitchen. Then I leave the kitchen to get water, cos we have no sink in the kitchen and the kettle doesn't fit under the fridge water dispenser.

That would be my place out for you then. It's over 6 times as long as it is deep in most places.

How has it taken to this time at night for me to hear about the pen is beaker. I've got tears rolling down my face and my sides hurt.

A question for NPs - curtains that hang to the floor in a carpeted room - just brush the carpet or just clear it?

Puddle on it. Just brush it I'd
F they have to for boring practicalities like kids.



( we have clearing ones ATM simply to keep cold out, just randomly hung ones, nothing made for this house yet, and I am ashamed of the clearing nature of them, ashamed;):D)

Out of the packet they are about 6 inches too long but worth taking up I think
