Excellent. I'll put my boobs in another couloir. Not worry about Stubbs or bumps

While I am a little sad I'll most likely not be able to buy H1 as people with more money will want it ....... I can console myself with:

- bathroom was dinky
- no conservatory
- car probably wouldn't fit in the garage.
- obviously no utility, no
- it was council tax band D

But it did have big rooms (rounded up measurements):
K: 10x8 - with long 6-8' uninterrupted worktop
L: 11x10
14x8
Bed 1: 11x12
Bed2: 12x9
Bed3: 9x7

Until the second reading, I thought a couloir was some posh gadget - and I even read it with a French accent! I then proceeded to think Stubbs was a posh brand name ... and bumps.... and Stubbs and bumps was like saying "Farrow and Ball" instead of "cheap market paint"

I have two winter coats.

I put one down on the sofa last night. I was in for 45 minutes before I had to go out again. Picked it up and Doozerdog had puked on it.


Not great. Would anybody like a dog? One pukes on soft things only, the other one has a thing about clothing labels.

Trade for one that likes to widdle on duvets? No? Just a thought....

I like that idea, or maybe shade it from pale pink through to scarlet!

A couloir is a narrow strip of snow between two rock cliff faces that you snowboard down whilst looking out for avalanches...if you are a bit mad.

What IS a Yamaha AV receiver? Does it attach to something posh that I'll never have?

It's a box and on one side you plug in stuff like blurays and sattelite feed and freeview and such, and on the other side it produces nice surround sound and HD video. And it looks like this.



And if you want a decent brand, they're bloody expensive, so I get them off ebay
(and also because Mrs Wheezy won't let me buy them at retail price of course )

See - it is a posh thing

I've never seen a Bluray, nor known anybody have one (if asked I'd not be able to say what it actually is .... I've never had a satellite feed ... and my freeview box plugs straight into the back of the borrowed portable TV.

Just found one house that's 1.5 miles further out and on an estate I'm not familiar with, but "would do" for viewing - except it's SSTC. Bizarrely, it only completed its last sale in July this year. Strange that somebody would buy a house and have it for sale again within a couple of months.

Does it have the wow factor? If yes, buy it.

There, that's you sorted.

Last time we moved we spent ages looking (although did not see that many houses as it was 2008/9/10 so there wasn't much for sale). In the end I think we got something great at a good price but how much of that is after the fact justification because we had had enough of looking?!

That's the sort of answer PN would have for anyone else!
