    Am I wrong ... !!!!!! is this all about?

    It wins the "Far King Weird Award of the Week".

    I only looked as the wording said it was "re imagined with a Scandinavian twist"...... not interested at all.... it's not where I'm looking, it's way over budget (started at £350k), faces the wrong way, car parking's up above it (it's sunken below road level).

    I think it might be a bit claustrophobic.

    Photo 4, is that a ramp maybe for a wheelchair down that change of level?

    Picture 18 is Really Useful don't ya think? :rotfl: And 19! 23 is also a bit !!!!!! too. !!!!!! is it?

    Pic 24 is more like a piece of modern art rather than a photo helping you choose a house. :eek:

    I thought that'd died a death months and months ago. I'll go see if it's still running... if I thought the thread was still active I would've posted it earlier.

    No, it's still there, alarming, amusing and enthusing us all with all sorts of weird things.

    I dont think we had ppi but should probably investigate on the off chance of finding £1000 down the back of the sofa. We chose never to tick the ppi box when it was a thing , but wonder if we took out some loans that declined to mention it. The loans would have been 3 x mortgages (switching, not 3 houses)and the loan on our timeshare, so could be quite a bit.

    Rent a garage, perhaps? How valuable is the stuff you need to store?

    You mean that you want to keep the car in the garage? Nobody does that round here. The garages were built in the 1920s and the cars have grown much bigger since then. I think we could just about drive our car in, but then we'd have to drive it out again so we could open the door.

    You've just reminded me of that photo of both of michaels' cars in his garage. Do you remember that? :rotfl:

    That doesn't sound particularly helpful PN. Hope you get answers soon.

    I don't know how crucial a diagnosis is, unless it provides access to benefits such as PIP and perhaps some therapy?

    A diagnosis might provide some insight into why you feel like you do and how other similar people have developed strategies to cope. But you can easily research all that without a formal diagnosis. In fact, I assume you already have!
