A couple I know who think they're the dogs gonads have just bought the ugliest house.

Many of you will say I'm lame and need to get a life. But this has put me in quite a good mood!

That is all.

I'm a bit more tanned (and female).

My house looks weird and the pebbledash is painted mustard Hmm I think it's butt ugly on the outside but has massive rooms, a massive driveway, massive garden and loads of potential to extend. People don't just buy houses for how they look on the outside...one day I'll paint my house white lol.

YANBU

YAB childish Grin

There are people I'd feel the same about tbh

I think the crux of it comes from the fact that I'm ready to move house of here. Been living here for 5 years. Moved in without kids, now have 2. It's just on my mind and I'm getting obsessional going on Rightmove all the time!

As I've said before, I'm sure they'll be very happy in their home and good luck to them but I stand by the fact that I personally think their house is ugly. I'm sure they think my house is a shit hole too. I'm allowed to have an opinion.

Ah Paul for a moment there I was gleeful at the thought of a clown living in a penis shaped house. But it was not to be...Grin

Well every eye forms its own beauty. What's ugly to you clearly isn't ugly to them or they wouldn't have bought the house.

I know I'm being childish, but everyone's entitled to that sometimes.

you sound quite jealous

Costacoffeeplease · 19/02/2016 19:26

Yes you can have an opinion - being 'gleeful' is something different

I know lots of people who are very happy in houses I wouldn't want as a gift - for lots of reasons - they're no more right than I am and I don't feel 'gleeful' that they've bought houses I don't like

PaulAnkaTheDog · 19/02/2016 19:34

Well poulet by the end of a night out I'm sure my makeup makes me resemble a clown. So as long as they keep me tanked up it will be a clown (of sorts) in a penis shaped house. With a cockatoo and pussy cat.

Weirdest thread ever. Can't say I take pleasure in others misfortunes but then I believe in karma. Enjoy your gloating OP. One day it'll probably come back and bite you on your (Victorian/ Edwardian) arse

I was addicted to buying 'ugly' houses cause I'd feel sorry for them! then Id transform them into palaces that sold within days. it's amazing what a make over can do to a house. nice porch, bit of character few walls knocked down or added and you can bring it back to life. be interesting to see it after they've worked on it!
