You know how I've gone nuts at you in the past over impulse purchases?
I thought some medical tests related to my pneumonia were going to go horribly wrong, and Mr HBS wouldn't want me anymore...and I had everything in place to essentially impulse-buy a flat :eek::rotfl:
What a plonker I am. All is well (as I knew deep down it would be!) and now I have to cancel a mortgage...!
HBS x
:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: That's one of the funniest things I've heard in a long time, HBS.

I accidentally bought a house too, it happens! I only wanted to buy the 6-acre field at the other end of the village to it, but the executors insisted they wouldn't sell the two crofts separately and the other croft came with a three-bedroom house on it.0

It was a repo with another buyer interested so a bit of a race to the line. We actually completed while we were on holiday in Spain.
You see, easily done :rotfl:.cazmanian_minx wrote: »I accidentally bought a house too, it happens!
