You know you have been doing too much online estate agent window shopping when...

... you find yourself saying: "Oh that's quite reasonable for a castle of that size and in that location!"

I couldn't even afford to buy enough toilet paper to fill the multiple bathrooms!

When you've been window shopping online, what observation has made you think: "Oh dear, time to log off Rightmove..."

Recognised the names of some siblings from nursery, decorating the walls of a house I could never hope to afford…

When a friend told me about their acquaintance buying a flat in my city and I knew exactly which one it was and how much it was going for!

Oh I do the decorating thing too - I google for really exciting wallpaper and think: "This would look amazing in the butler's pantry space!"

Butler. I'm more likely to BE one than to ever have one!

Oh yes, I have had that happen too. It was a new build (I wasn't looking for new builds, but I was a bit fixated on a particular area) and I said: "Is it the one on the corner with the red door and solar panels?" 😳
