    Well a tiny forum which I occasionally post on has around 6 people who regularly post, and for some reason it's recently been having 60 to 70 people or more... and it's nothing to do with HPC!!

    House prices may seem to be dropping
    But who knows if this trend will be stopping
    There's no crystal ball
    To predict any fall
    So stop scaremongering and get back to your shopping.

    How on earth did I get an A* at GSCE English language???
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I for one am spening more time here and less on the property portals....I'm finally being surre to keep up to dat ith amking ou finances work better, and of course, I'm so desperate to have a house I have to keep putting myself off by scaring myself silly with what could happen if we do.

    I'm also amazed by some of the posts here, and I have to admit some of the more, er, vehement ones, are quite shockingly entertaining (I don't watch much tv ;))
