Mumsnet Homeswap - the houses are so luxurious!

I'll swap mine for an avocado bathroom suite

I'm not swapping, I don't go mad for other people's children
But I suppose they could show you how to work the oven.

Dharma - I did actually ask if we might swap DC. I would be very happy to swap mine

Maybe they can if they're privately educated, that's why you have to say so.

Oh, I've just noticed that DCs can't be left as part of the inventory. Shame, that.

tethers, ask your tip men to save you one. They would round here, with a tenner left as deposit (never mention it again).

wish id known....i skipped one.

YES!

Do you have one?

Although I would prefer chocolate brown...

Were you the one trying to buy an avocado bathroom suite?

I do also have a giant painting of Quincy on the living room Walls, if that helps?

I have a feeling it will not.

Sudden thought: isn't there a MNer here with chocolate brown walls and a bright orange sofa? I dimly remember something like that from the 'MNers Hello Magazine' thread."

HA HA!

That's me Although the Walls are black, not brown (brown in the bedroom); the sofa is indeed orange leather. I do like the 1970s. I have a lot of 70s vinyl wallpaper and huge lamps.

I think I may have said too much...

musicposy I have a sneaky suspicion you are close to my Mum's. At hers, one has to do a one armed handstand on the chimney to get mobile reception. The joys of country living.

I think my gorgeous in looks only, he has a black heart ginger tom must be related to yours. The vet has written "feisty cat" in his notes.

my dh is from your neck of the woods BOF! he says the sea never comes in....

only someone of of their tiny minds would want to come here....id be embarrassed. its the ugliest town ever, when i move 5 miles down the road to a medieval market town i might consider it....actually won't

PMSL at these descriptions. Manatee, must use the cat description and also love the sound of your house!

Have worked mine out properly now-

3 bedroomed mid-terraced 60's house with compact, natural garden. No central heating but ineffective halogen heaters for those chillier evenings (I couldn't be mean enough to swap between October and March ). Garage full of junk and shed also full of junk and possibly rats. Friendly neighbours my parents who have a key and will walk in on you having sex and colourful local characters drug dealer who will offer you a bargain prcie. Near to lovely historic overpriced Cathedral City and with beautiful views of the South Downs if you stick your head out of the back bedroom window and rotate it 90 degrees. Gorgeous resident ginger cat, a fabulous strong character. Chainlink gloves provided.

If you want to stay in a well-polished stable, shiny tack is definitely the way to go.

or shiny tack...i have those in abundance since the xmas decs have fallen down...

is it bad form to laugh at ones own jokes?

hovel swap?

how about a tiny shack swap?

4 bed Sarf London terraced house. Spacious reception room and play room so spacious because the furniture ordered has yet to arrive so there is actually no furniture unless you count lots of pillows and a duvet to sit on. Lovely kitchen (this bit is true, it is a lovely lovely kitchen) with all mod cons except for washing machine, dishwasher and microwave as they are also yet to arrive, order made over three weeks ago now, delivery promised in 5 days hafuckingha. First floor has family bathroom, two doubles and one single room, but only one of the bedrooms has a bed as these two have to fucking be delivered can you see a pattern , finally the lovely fresh attic conversion, fresh because it's fucking freezing up there with an ensuite wet room wet room because it's very wet . Redeeming features: nice garden. High Street at the end of the road where you can buy rice and spices and odd vegetables that I have never heard the name of. Local hospital nearby which is handy given there were a couple of shootings up the road last week and cosy pubs so cosy that you get punched if you're not a local .

There's a downstairs loo though if that helps.

Well it could provide some rest, the lovely thing about the colour of the carpets is that you can't really tell if any housework has been done . Dd would take very good care of your puppies. Very good care. After bonding over peeing on the carpet she will make them all sit down for a tea party. You might find them looking a little crumpled from all the hugging, cowering under the beds upon your return.

I've done an MN houseswap [preens] It was BRILLIANT for us

I've never dared mention it on here again in case the person who swapped revealed all about my house, but i think perhaps she doesn't post any more, or at least has namechanged. So have I, come to that. when I told my mother I was about to do a swap she was literally like this and came to do a massive clean for me beforehand, but it was the Augean stables all over again. Certainly when i went to the lovely spotless abode i was a bit but having said that it was a real house in a real place. We really enjoyed it, the location was fab.

So I'm definitely up for a HovelSwap. Do we have to declare Fly or Non-Fly? No asthmatics had better come to mine tbh, they might die from dust.

I might just take you up on that, Indith A change is as good as a rest, after all, and yours doesn't sound like much of a rest. I think we are quite well-matched.

I'll swap you LeBOF, fecking freezing bracing seaside holidas are a family tradition.

What's the view like, acsec?

Gosh, not sure anyone would want my 2 bed flat in a lovely 1960's block.
