    As a child I had two homes, then we bought our first house and lived there for a year before moving on - we then had 8 houses in 2 years (buying/renovating then selling/renting) before settling in our current house 21 years ago. We have been planning the next move for the last 10 years and we actually get moved in another 10 years! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    That all sounds nicely settled to me! x

    I'd like to be settled, but goodness knows where... :D

    I do think the right area is more important than the right house (she says when she is planning on moving to a house in an area she does not really like... shut up SSM)..:D:D:D:D

    I have seriously abandoned my money saving ways over the past few months (RL got in the way!)

    I want to get back in to APG-ing and thought i's give the sharpies a go but couldn't work out if they only work on C&C or if i can buy them in store?

    If you can find them you can buy them instore. They compare v W.
    The advantage on C&C is if they are OOS.

    If you can't find any, then do a C&C in the hope they don't restock overnight. :D

    I think we could start a list: Strangest aisle you've found sharpies in. :D
