    I've been Money Tipped!
    I can only think of him as darling dog.

    Full of beans dog is lovely.

    The pets are super, all of them.

    My head's a bit doing its thing this afternoon so I'm having to lay out flat to try and 'head it off' ;) Its a bit...frustrating. I'm trying not to nap today as I left it too late to not impact a bit on tonight's sleep I think. But it means I'm very tired. It would be veeeeeeery easy to drop off right now!

    What a gorgeous house :)


    So to summarise it needs to have a tower, turrets & cellars; extensive gardens and a menagerie of animals. A paddock for the alpacas, large secure area for the degus, chinchillas and capybara (not sure if they can co-habit or not :D), garden pond complete with penguins, fishing garden gnomes and a bridge, some chickens and not so secret rooster.


    Will need extensive sofas, chairs and a chaise longue or two for the dogs, cats and cuddlies including but not limited to: Sir P, Matilda, dumbass dog, Gitdog, Kiwi, dog dog, big dog, full of beans dog, max, grumpy-dog and always-hungry, zombie hello kitty, mauve and pink :D


    Glad to see the letting agent and phone call worries are resolved :)


    Sending hugs/warm handshakes/smiles and waves to all, hope anyone who is feeling under the weather is feeling better soon.


    Thank you for the photos :)

    You forgot to mention blankets;) we need lots of blankets for snuggling, hiding, afternoon naps and of course dog blankets :D

    I'm sure we will find somewhere.

    I think it needs to be near the seaside too :rotfl:

    Oh and donkeys. We need donkeys too.
    Eu não sou uma tartaruga. Eu sou um codigopombo.
  • And rabbits with buckets and spades?

    I was actually brought up in a house with a turret. Which sounds terribly posh, but wasn't really :D

    I'm not sure if there is room for the alpacas here but it's worth a look. Quite a bargain as I was looking at some which were six million but they didn't have enough garden .....

    Definitly donkeys ..... so we DO need a big garden.

  • Yep, you're posh JM :D

    I had a posh uncle who had a house with a cupola (? spelling) - a little glass turrety window thing in the roof. All my mum could think about was how difficult it would be to clean it :rotfl:

    At the time I remember we thought Uncle was wildly extravagant because they paid a dog sitter if they went out in the evening. Now I think they were lovely to do that but I think it was quite unusual behaviour back in the 1970's

    And I forgot to mention the bit of rainforest and the sloths :T

    sounds posh to me too JM ;)
  • Maybe a big conservatory/orangery could be converted into a slothery complete with potted rainforest ?

    Slotharium ? Slothery ? Sloth-house ? Jungletory?

    I need my bed .....:wave:
