lucyellensmum · 29/08/2007 15:55

room for a proper size dog, room for a proper vegetable patch, an en suite bath room and a room for DD2 all of her own, without having to knock walls down as we are going to have to do. Ive just run a bath and it is full of fecking toys!! I dont want to have to clean, do washing, cook, pick up dog shit, or do anything other than being a mummy - oh, fuck, thats part of the job isnt it.

I STILL WANT A BIGGER BLOODY HOUSE - is that too much to ask - apparently it is

countess kirsty

please can you find me one. north london, 550k, purlease xx

Come and let off steam - That is what we Mn is here for. I personally however would settle for a house of any description with some outdoor space instead of the poky, liftless, noisy, 2nd floor flat we now live in - but we do only have 1 ds so it's not as bad as it could be.

I do know what you mean but I think with children we always think we need more space however much we have.

lucyellensmum · 29/08/2007 15:57

oh and a newer car would be nice too. Oh, and even maybe a horse, liposuction, a decent hair do. Dinner out three times a week, being able to read the paper in peace, not to have to feel guilty for being on MN as i have STAFF to do all the mundane chores........yes, i dare you to say im being unreasonable

FlameBatfink · 29/08/2007 16:04

YANBU... because if you were then it owuld mean that I was too

Hurlyburly · 29/08/2007 16:04

YABU

Think you're tired? Maybe? Big houses just take more cleaning, you'll hoard more stuff, and who needs more stuff?

Ignore the vampire - she's on the payroll of some Welsh Nationalists.

nailpolish · 29/08/2007 16:05

here you go 2acres, kennels, a hundrd bedrooms - half a million

lucyellensmum · 29/08/2007 16:05

oi! bundle - bugger off with your £550K budget, yeah, bugger off why dont you ;) Go on, go and ring that bloody woman from escape to the country, go on, off you go It amazes me, honestly that people are paying sooo much for houses. We paid £40K for our end of terrace shit heap about 10 years ago, we thought we paid through the nose then, its worth £180K now WTF??? I guess our next house will be about £250K but not before i go back to work, if you had told me i would have considered paying a quarter of a million pounds for a house a reasonable thing to do, ten years ago i would have laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed.

marbella, anyone?

WaynettaSlob · 29/08/2007 16:07

Bundle how about this??

Hurlyburly · 29/08/2007 16:07

Yes but she has to live in Scotland, miles away from anywhere or anyone (including schools and potential cleaners). Not sensible. Why not buy her a glamourous holiday home for £500k that she can let out for part of the time to cover the costs but enjoy in the holidays?

nailpolish · 29/08/2007 16:07

looook ndp! its pebbledashed!

CountessDracula · 29/08/2007 16:08

bundle whereabouts in N london?

OK LEM we have a budget
now what do you want for it?
and what area?

lucyellensmum · 29/08/2007 16:08

dont think you can smile nicely at me and just get away with it now go on, next thing you will be telling me you want a fecking drive as well, for two cars!!! OMG the greed these days.

ok semi seriously then, it has to be kent, by the sea, not Thanet, or herne bay, defo not dover or folkstone. The schools must be good, my budget - right now, £150K when we are ready to move £250K. Must have 3 bedrooms, big garden and a garage/workshop. Pref rural.

I'm off for a bath. I'll pop your fee in the post
