    So you've bought a house, big deal! What is the point of this post?

    Must admit, my initial reaction was "it's a house". But then I am replying, so that makes me just as bad.

    Also, for 170k in Bury, I would expect some kind of wardrobe with a 'Narnia portal' included in the price.

    Hope you and your family flourish in your new home.



    I'm a bit suprised though, that you diden't wait for a House Price Correction after all, that's what you have always advocated nelly, if everyone buys a property like you did, and pays the market value {or near enough} how can prices ever drop ? think you've let your side down badly.



    Ever heard of a saying "practice what you preach":(


    If property prices dropped 20% {not 40%-50%} you would be paying £34,000 less for that house, you've got to do a lot of plasterwork to make £34,000 nett.

    Maybe he bought a HOME for him and his family, does happen you know.

    Nice to hear someone who's bought a house and not turned into Mr House-prices-can-only-ever-rise-and-a good-thing-too overnight.

    Enjoy your house!

    Can I suggest that you should have spent your money on a dictionary or spell checker instead?

    Anyway congratulations, I hope you get in and make it nice and homely faster than I’ve been sorting out my burrow.

    Oh and if you refit the kitchen don’t go to MFI :mad: (shame there isn't a smiley for "this has been going on so long I am about to go postal")

    Strange sized bedrooms!! Is this because it was a 3 bed now converted into a 4 bed?

    Or is Bedroom Four, 6'9 x 6'9, specially built for Cloth cap n' Whippet?

    Isn't that a bit pot and kettle? Coming from someone in West Sussex where a piece of land 6' 9" x 6' 9" would probably cost £170,000.

    Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
    I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
    You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.
    It's a recession when your neighbour loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours.

    Hmm, loverly house - and in Bury too. I particularly like the blue surfaces in the kitchen.

    Hmmmm, still "subject to contract" - I might offer more for this house... Now then, what's Mark Boultons number? ah yes 01706-622886...
