I think he must be the GIT next door! This is what he was telling me a few weeks ago when he was having a rant!

My house (2-up, 2-down) is bursting at the seams with all my 'stuff'. Definitely not too big for me!

Exactly my problem kittylester, and nobody is taking my home until I'm good and ready... and nobody's business, because we've worked very hard for it all our life and never asked for a penny from anybody. So there smile

But, what if my house is sooooooooooooo enormous that no-one could afford to buy it from me? confused

What makes 'too big for a person's needs'? Presumably if there is more than one person in the house this rule does not apply? confused

Bugger, just noticed a mis punctuation in my comment up there. Oh well, it's hot, that's my excuse.

What's yours, Gerry?

Take your point, Flickety, take your point. I obviously hadn't thought this through.

Still I've come up with a cracking idea on his other new thread! grin

Methinks someone is feeling neglected.

Phoenix, the problem is the cat, sometimes its there but sometimes it goes walkabout and reappears a week later. What happens if you have had sold the cat basket or sublet it to a rabbit and it returns?

I lie awake at night worrying myself sick about dilemmas like this.

Yes dear of, course, and if the dog dies they should be legally obliged to sell the kennel.

Owing to the shortage of housing a person who lives on his / her own should only be allowed to own / rent a 2 bedroom property.
If a spouse dies the surviving spouse should be obliged to put a property which is too large up for sale within 12 months.
