Mines a shoe box in comparison!!!!!!!!!!
Lea :D

I live in a mid terrace with 3 bedrooms no ensuites. In a village in South Oxon/Berks borders.
bathroom
downstairs loo
kitchen
living room
I use the smallest bedroom (boxroom) as my 'office' or computer room.

I'm so glad that I don't have your house as I have a dust mite allergy &
have enough cleaning to try and keep up with in my 'ickle' home :D
Your mum must be superwoman to keep all that spick and span!!
(I've given up with mine, what with work and looking after 3 Boxers and 2 cats there's never enough time)
The only thing I'd be slightly envious about would be the detached bit, the conservatory
and the big garden.
I'm not at all envious of trying to keep that 'massive' home clean, too much like hard work
and too much for my allergy :D

I always knew there was a reason why I shouldn't have a big house ;)

:)
- By chaliepud [gb] Date 28.08.04 20:28 UTC
I've got a feeling Boxacrazy, that if you can have a house like that, you don't do all the cleaning yourself!
Myself, OH, 2 kids (+1 on way), 3 dogs and cat, live in a 4 bed chalet style house in Lightwater, Surrey, next to a lovely country park. 4 bedrooms, 2 baths - 1 ensuite but tiny- large living/dining area all open plan and study, good size kitchen/breakfast room and fair size garden.  Don't think I would want anything much bigger, though would love a large garden(I don't do the mowing!)
- By perrodeagua [gb] Date 28.08.04 21:28 UTC
Boxacrazy, sounds like you and I live in a similar house.  Three bedroomed terrace, small toilet downstairs, largieish kitchen, small living room, nice easy to maintain front garden and a fair sized back garden luckily.  With the weather that we've had this few weeks, my back garden is like a mud batb and as the kitchen is where the four dogs stay well you can imagine :d  Never mopped it so often!!

Carina my black and white girl is very powerful and runs like a horse so what grass I do have soon gets churned up.  Lastar my new boy does his whatever then rakes up all of the grass, so there bits of grass and mud flying everywhere :d  Oh what joy.
- By jackyjat [gb] Date 28.08.04 21:37 UTC
OK then Lea, teeny weeny in comparison!
- By Lindsay Date 28.08.04 22:04 UTC
Bullboy your house sounds like the Cluedo one <g>

We live in a detatched house with

3 bedrooms
1 bathroom/toilet
1 long living/dining room
1 kitchen

90ft garden which is lovely when the roses and honeysuckle are out. Dog loves long ball throws up the garden! :D

Not much to say really, but it's home :)
- By Jackie H [gb] Date 29.08.04 04:44 UTC
A kennel, a luxury one but a kennel never the less. Just had a couple of walls knocked down to give them more room to run about when its too wet outside. :)
- By Boxacrazy [gb] Date 29.08.04 07:49 UTC
My garden is down to shingle and patio much more dog friendly..
Or so I thought!!
No grass getting churned up...well with 3 Boxers charging around you can
imagine (the lady who used to live next door had a Dally they put in grass turf
and then had a 'race track' around the outside where the dog used to pace in their
garden)
But then I have now got the 'demon' pup, who has systematically wrecked havoc on
my garden.
The membrane has been ripped up, pup has a nose for the stakes that kept it down.
Shingle constantly all over the paths where she races with the other two....
She eats anything that comes into the garden...and is an experienced excavator..(holes everywhere)
LOL and it's me that gets to clear it all up - as they are 'my' dogs!!
I only have a postage stamp sized front garden, that's where the plants live.
Or I have hanging baskets in the back that the dogs can't reach :D
- By Timhere [gb] Date 29.08.04 08:00 UTC
Very, very small. !!  I think its termed a starter home!  I am a mid 30's professional earning a reasonable salary with a partner who also works and its the most we can afford!
God it depresses me :)
- By Jackie M [gb] Date 29.08.04 08:45 UTC
Average semi.    Unfortunately small garden.......but plenty of lovely walks for dogs nearby.
- By Lorelei [gb] Date 29.08.04 10:32 UTC
My house is inappropriate for a gundog lover :D Its a 4 bedded  terraced townhouse in a housing scheme, but it does have a 6 foot fence. Until yesterday it was a howler  (technical term for minging).
- By kath_barr [gb] Date 29.08.04 10:54 UTC
Big old 17th century farmhouse (was a Manor house) but now divided in to 2 houses so it's really a semi ;) ),  4 bedrooms, 1 "boxroom" which used to house the ghost (now gone), small shower room/toilet, bathroom with huge old bath that came out of the ark (or it could actually *be* the ark :D) 2 sittingrooms (one with computer etc in it) biggish kitchen with Rayburn (with adjacent space for dog) that thankfully does some central heating, 1 utility room (freezer washer, sink, cat/dog stuff etc), plus a couple of store rooms with life's essentials in them...junk, tools, things labelled "that could come in handy one day" etc.

...and spiders galore!! :eek:

Garden is more than I can cope with and if I'm not careful gets invaded by the weeds, the hens and even the cows on a couple of occasions!

- By jazzywoo Date 29.08.04 16:00 UTC
Well my house was like the film the money pit :D :D (not in size terms) everything has gone wrong with it, two years on it is getting there but still doesn't feel like a home.  So Iguess its what you would call a roof over your head.

Michelle :)
- By archer [gb] Date 29.08.04 17:15 UTC
In a word...CRAMPED (6 humans and 4 dogs)...in  2 words ...CRAMPED AND HAIRY!!

- By Trevor [gb] Date 29.08.04 17:40 UTC
We live in the old  village abbatoir ! ( converted of course !!!)

It's Victorian red brick with big airy  rooms 11/2 acres of gardens, barns and surrounded by pear orchards.

My job is in animal welfare so I think it's divine justice that we have ended up living here ;-)
- By Lokis mum [gb] Date 29.08.04 17:52 UTC

>>I promise it sounds more than it is, im trying to be modest.<<


Anyone else think he's not done a very good job there??!! :D :D :D
- By BullBoy [gb] Date 30.08.04 12:22 UTC
At the end of the day Spaniel Lover that is what my house is like, i cant describe it differently, there are aspects that make it even better that ive left out becuase i dont like showing off, i know im very fortunate but still have some pride.
- By Blue Date 30.08.04 12:47 UTC
Thing is Bullboy you can't show off about things that are not yours. !!!! ;-)

When you are living in your one up one down house that you own then you will have something to brag about :-)))

No harm meant.
- By Harriet [gb] Date 30.08.04 13:22 UTC
Very small, bars at the windows, padded walls. Oh, En suite bathroom, well slop bucket in the corner really. :P

:D okay, so long as you do appreciate it, there will come a time when you'll have to leave Mum and Dad's palace behind-and it's tough, especially when you've come from such high standards!  Also, I think I might work on the whole modesty/showing off issue if I were you-I can well appreciate it that you may not wish to come across that way, and I know you're only 17, but humility will get you far in life! :)  As a side note, any time you need a house sitter... I'm sure we'll all volunteer! :D
- By Emily Rose [gb] Date 30.08.04 16:42 UTC
I still have the relative luxury of living at home, free food, free bed and most of the time the house is pretty quiet, my dad works in Hampshire most of the week and my older bro lives in Leeds and comes home some weekends. Don't get me wrong its great when we are all at home, especially chrimbo, but it is a bit much with 4 people, 2 dogs and now only 9 rats :(.
We spent 10 years doing up our last house, a 60s semi, only to decide it was too small so we moved 2 mins down the road to a chalet(NOT bungalow as some insist calling it!) style 4 bed, 2 bath, did have a big garden, ideal for playing with the dogs and practicing ringcraft until my dad bulid a huge wildlife pond in the middle of it! No fish, or dogs, allowed-try telling Kayla that on a sunny day.....well any day really! Don't tell him though, I'd be dead! advantage of him working away! We've been hear 2 and a half years and only just started going anything to it, the previous owners had no taste and very tight purses!! just glad I'm not paying for it, am planning to get a job though-just planning though!

Bullboy,

Actually, it is not your house, it is your parent's house.   I agree with Spaniel Lover, you need to work on developing a greater sense of modesty about what your parent's have accomplished.  Or at least give them the credit.  Your parent's house sounds nice.   It would be a small house in the private estate where I reside in Surrey, but that's no matter.  

"there are aspects that make it even better that ive left out becuase i dont like showing off, "  That's the thing.  You have nothing to show off because none of what you perceive as wealth has been created from anything you've done.  And keep in mind that whilst you may think you are "showing off" there are others that would consider your parent's home a starter property.

- By Daisy [gb] Date 30.08.04 17:41 UTC
That's why a lot of us have said nothing, Stacey ;) :D

Daisy
- By Stacey [gb] Date 31.08.04 08:42 UTC
I know that Daisy. I waited until Bullboy got carried away with himself.  :-)  But better to learn at 17 and on "the web" how far your own b.s. carries than find out in the cold, cruel 3D world. 

Stacey
- By Daisy [gb] Date 31.08.04 13:15 UTC
:) :) If, of course, he is 17 etc ;) :)

Daisy
- By Jeangenie [gb] Date 31.08.04 13:35 UTC
Ooh, Daisy! What are you suggesting? ;) :D
- By Daisy [gb] Date 31.08.04 13:54 UTC
LOL ;)

Daisy
- By Stacey [gb] Date 31.08.04 14:02 UTC
Daisy,

Hmmm, yes.  Had not thought of that ... it's been a LONG time since I wanted to add years to my age!

Stacey
- By Daisy [gb] Date 31.08.04 14:11 UTC
I think that you are the same as me - 21 ;)

Daisy
- By Isabel Date 31.08.04 17:43 UTC
But if any of our young lady forum members are tempted to get to know this apparently disingenous young man in his palace don't forget that some people deduct years from their ages :rolleyes:
- By Daisy [gb] Date 31.08.04 17:56 UTC
Moi ????? :D :D

Daisy
- By Jeangenie [gb] Date 31.08.04 18:18 UTC
There was that American bloke who recently ran off with that young British girl, wasn't there? He'd said he was much younger than he actually was. :(
