Originally posted by AtW View Post"Ten years ago, Craig Coles was living in his dream home, a palatial villa complete with a swimming pool in southern Spain, with his wife and their two beautiful children. He never expected to be spending his forties living in a rented flat in East London with an Albanian divorcee and a 24-year-old Dutch girl.
He never imagined he’d be returning each night from his job in the City as a top insurance recruiter and waiting patiently for each of his flatmates to finish in the kitchen before cooking himself dinner-for-one, then spending the evening watching television in his bedroom - the only place where he can enjoy some privacy.
On the weekends, his children Ashton, seven, and Lily, nine, come to stay. They sleep on camp beds lined up next to his own bed, waking early to make pancakes together before the others are up, hurrying out to spend the day in a park or museum - as their playing might disturb the other tenants."

There will be insurance to cover the potential financial loss, and if not then there should be so an opportunity for someone's plan b to come up with a new insurance product and make a killing.
Though maybe it should be covered by the theft part of home insurance.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment
