    Saving £££ at MarkyMark towers (LOL), as I want a large deposit prior to buying anything (£300K+).

    May actually be worth me buying somewhere in the next 12 months or so, as I predict prices are going to go down

    I asked her to wrap her hands in ice 30 minutes prior to your brief visit.

    Glad you noticed the extra effort

    Sometimes the hot tub. When on the phone, face down on the masseuse's table.

    Actually, I've got one of those log cabins, too. Works really well. Put in a toilet, a fridge, a microwave, a kettle, a bed for a quick afternoon nap when CUK is boring. It works great, and is big enough to have a couple people working with me when that makes since.

    Would you recommend them as a company?
    Yeah, I looked at Booth's garden studios first, but they didn't really seem interested. Didn't return my calls etc. Green retreats turned up when they said and did the job. Can't complain really....

    I'd love a proper system but object to what they cost. Wish I had the electrical nous to build one... maybe one day...
    IKEA hacks or whatever that bloody website is called.

    Kitchen for me. I wouldn't like to be stuck upstairs and the living room is for relaxing and I like the divide.
