Personal stuff....

Am picking up SWMBO and driving up to the Kid Bro's in two hours time. Leaving for home early Sunday morning as we have to look at our prospective house again before putting in a bid.

Go well etc...

Is this really the right time to be buying homes? I thought our ecconomy was due to dip again? not like anyone in charge has the ability to do simple mathematics or anything, except of course when it comes to deliberately screwing the poor!

We need more space no matter what the economic circumstances, alas.

Good luck with the castle!

4 bedrooms doesn't equal a castle, alas.

Sir Edward Coke, in The Institutes of the Laws of England, 1628:

"For a man's house is his castle, et domus sua cuique est tutissimum refugium [and each man's home is his safest refuge]."

(cited prior, but this was put into law)

*grin*
(I'm just being silly. I do say congratulations and good luck though - a home of one's own is a good thing to have)
