    Lol really I should have waited for another 6 months, that's what the sensible people are doing. Sleeping on a roll matt is the way forward. In fact I heard that my bed (and mattress for that matter) won't be worth as much once I've slept in it.

    The only way to protect the price is to lay down hardwood laminate and build an extension on it.

    There are too many thankable posts on this thread, so can everyone just assume I've thanked them.

    I sold my bed last year and am sleeping in the bath at the moment. It's not very comfortable, but I expect to make a tidy profit.

    Thank this one it will be my 1000'th thank. That's a better thanks ratio than van nistelroy's goal ratio at united...

    Yeah you beat me to it :(

    By the way I am going away tomorrow for 2 weeks ooop north in sunny Scotland, far from any internet access, so can someone update me on the developments when I get back?

    Actually, I can probably guess what they will be....

    Another newbie will have been slated never to return.
    Neverdespairgirl will have thanked 10 million more posts.
    brodders and carolt will have had another tiff.
    !!!!!! will have found yet another way of saying "house prices will crash"
    Someone will come on saying "my house isn't selling" to which the reply will be "lower the price"

    Someone will ask if this is a good time to buy, sparking a furious row
    Someone will ask for advice on how to escape from a new build contract, sparking a furious row
    Someone will ask for advice on 100% mortgages, sparking a furious row.



    Carolt and Mr B will get married, and star in a reality TV show called The Odd couple.

    Someone will also ask if they should get a brown or a black sofa in their new house, to which everyone will reply "Oh my god are you STUPID, how on EARTH could you buy a house! Haven't you seen the news? You are now going to drown in a hideous sea of negative equity while you house gets repossessed and neas and carolt buy it off you for 30% of the value you bought it for! OH MY GOD YOU ARE A FOOL!"

    The word "sofa" never to appear again in the thread.
