Ray thanks for that. Other half most of our family on both sides live in Sutton [posher areas] where did we go wrong. I know! we spent money enjoying ourselves. Who cares about a post code eh!. Jean.
 
Jean it don't matter what it cost when you move to a better or bigger place,

you normally have to pay the market price, nuff said.
 
It's a good job were happy where we are then Alf. We spent our money on a house in Gozo and had twelve years of fantastic holidays and more than made a profit when we sold. Made a bit renting it out too. Our decision was based on our autistic grandson who would never fly as he freaks out in enclosed areas so we put some of it back into a caravan that depreciates but we are enjoying every minute when we are there and Alex enjoys it too which is more importent. The way we look at it is you can't take it with you. TTFN. Jean.
