    Haha this is hilarious!  Why is he in almost every photo of the house and in nearly every location on the video!

    I started checking the other properties from the agent to see if this was their 'marketing style' but rest of them are normal, so must be the vendor came to them and said "Right I have an amazing idea that'll help the house sell in no time" and then insisted he be pictured in most of the rooms and play a starring role in the video :)

    It's the photos that get me 😂😂 blur moving down stairs, blur in garden... Why didn't they just take normal photos or at least ones in which he wasn't moving 😆😆

    If things get really bad, you could always make a stew in the slow cooker.

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    Perhaps he's a ghost and only appeared on the photos.

    There's a woman on one listing of theirs that I looked at, a couple on another, and dogs on others.

    She could have made a bit more effort with the outfit  - if she was a room we’d be suggesting a lick of paint. 
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
