    I'm torn between this or perhaps this.

    Hard to say really. There's not much around to choose from. Last year there were loads of nice big ticket houses but at the moment there aren't many worth bothering with.

    aha, you forgot the guns though, so you won't be keeping it for very long.

    I though it best not to mention the guns in the current political climate

    Solitary, Poor, Nasty, Brutish and Short .... coming back to a society near you. party like it's 1651

    You're close... wont be solitary, people will be living in large numbers together in government run housing facilities. But they will be poor and things will get very Nasty and Brutish. And life will be short for those unable to work. The lines have been drawn, the table has been set. the Tories have said they will force the "out-of-work" to work for their dole money. Labour will steal the policy. It starts there.

    The debt camps are coming.
    Bankruptcy isn't the worst that can happen to you. The worst that can happen is your forced to live the rest of your life in abject poverty trying to repay the debts.

    I'd like a small log home. On my own little plot.
    Near a chippy.

    My dream home is.....the one I own!
    Whitewashed stone, double fronted, Georgian period house with 4 bedrooms and walled garden, less than 500 yards from the sea.
    I can honestly say that I wouldn't want to live anywhere else; except MAYBE a tiny little ruinous house in an Italian hill town during the depths of the Welsh winter! :D

    My dream home wouldn't ideally be 90 miles from the coast (curse my Dad for relocating us to the Midlands of nowhere all those years ago) but I have the full page ad of this on the wall above my desk. Its in one of the nicest villages nearby and Mr P is hoping that if theres a mahoosive crash I'll lay a golden egg and we could go in with a cheeky offer.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    My dream house is the one DH and I sketch everywhere and want one ay to build. Environmentally friendly but not aggressively so when you look at it, at home in the remote countryside where it would stand, and spacious, light and at summer at one with the garden, in wonter snug and warm. Weirdly, DH and I both were making similar sketches for years before we met!

    Its miles away from what we are looking at now though :(

    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    Something like this would be mine, when prices crash.

    A family house imo - I love the separate dependent suite and guest suite, cause family could have their own space, but would of course have to get rid of all the pretentious Roman heads and old furniture.
