To think if every mumsnetter gave me a £1

Looking through house listings on rightmove (yes, that is my hobby Grin) and I find a modest but beautiful house!

A dream house!

It suddenly occurred to me that if everyone on Mumsnet gave me a £1, my dream would come true!!

I can send you a bag of clothes I know longer use. It may fetch a few quid down the old cash4clothes. Which would trump everyone else quid. Making me a part owner of the dream home.
So I get weekend swimming pool rights

Somerford I do love a good old fashion Pyramid Scheme - I'm in.

MrsDirtyBear · 06/10/2017 16:56

I've got a bag of old pants you could sell which might get you a quid. They're a bit stained though.

Andrewofgg · 06/10/2017 17:22

Captain If its pyramids you want I have a few and I can let you in on the ground floor, just sign me a blank cheque . . .

@2017SoFarSoGood fuck, when did you cop a look at my newly decorated sitting room?!?

I'll donate a £1, I'm massively jealous that £250K will buy your dream home. We've got SE prices, sob.

You need to submit plans for a Mumsnet funded duck house.

HateSummer · 06/10/2017 17:35

It's like those chain mails we used to receive in the 90's. They used to tell you to tape £1 in an envelope and pass it on and then you'd start receiving loads of money Hmm.

She's over a week from payday with no house to put her food in...

I'll give you £1 OP but in exchange I want you to keep the house tidy.. very tidy and I'll be round to check Grin

C0untDucku1a · 06/10/2017 17:39

For my £1 i insist on you having penguin bollards at the foot of your drive.

ReverseGiraffe · 06/10/2017 18:14

For my £1 I demand that you have wicker hearts strewn about the place.

MimsyFluff · 06/10/2017 18:26

For my £1 you need to take my DC 😂

ShotsFired · 06/10/2017 21:47

@2017SoFarSoGood ShotsFired - whoah there, my eager friend. Are you challenging my rights to the feature wall? This is totally out of order. I claimed it first; I pledged my pound. Off with you, scoundrel.

Well this is awkward. I mean obviously it needs a flower feature wall. How about a compromise and I take the oak effect fablon on the worktops instead? Guaranteed to melt the second someone drops a hot teabag on it.

BandHag · 06/10/2017 21:49

Ive thought that too but I am the recipient.

NeverForgotten · 06/10/2017 21:52

I'll buy you an acre on the moon instead nicegirl You won't be able to walk on it but you'll be a landowner with one foot on the proverbial property market Grin

PizzaPower · 06/10/2017 21:57

I’m not going to give you a £1, but I do have a goat you can have for the garden.

MumsOnCrack · 06/10/2017 22:00

I’ll give you a quid!

histinyhandsarefrozen · 06/10/2017 22:02

For my pound you have to name your house after me:
Tiny hands house will suffice.

2017SoFarSoGood · 06/10/2017 22:53

Shots you are good egg after all. Such a good compromise. 😝

RNBrie · 06/10/2017 23:00

My brother did this on Facebook. Said he'd noticed he had exactly the same number of friends as the cost of an xbox so if everyone gave him £1, he could afford a new one. Pretty much all of his friends did. He got an xbox and everyone was delighted for him. He's a jammy fucker sometimes.

Nicegirl123 · 08/10/2017 22:01

Thank you everyone for your pledges!
I’ve set up a Go Fund Me page. It’s called —Cheeky fucking beggar—
