Debate House Prices
In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non MoneySaving matters are no longer permitted. This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

Sell the house, buy a sea-going boat, fill it with the Pot Noodles suggested earlier. Get yourself some solar panels and read up about solar cookers and similar. Learn to fish (learn to like fish) ... get a fishing rod. Buy a book about edible seaweed and how to cook limpets/mussels. Oh, don't forget to stock up on loo roll; Armageddon might be going on, but it's always good to have a comfy bum.

I've been quietly assembling a survivalist militia for some time now. We're set to activate when the ports close. Other than that, I'm gonna buy a house. Should significantly bolster me against most problems on the horizon.If you think of it as 'us' verses 'them', then it's probably your side that are the villains.0

I'm going to put another truck(s) on the road to cope with the increased demand for steel shutters, Pot Noodles, loo roll, fhishing rods and name change certificates. Will give Wymondham a lift home in the back of the trailer.0
