nightrider Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 In order to lighten things up, or then again i might start another furore, I want to sell this 6 bedroomed mauseleum of a house we live in, my wife says no I say yes, on the grounds that this house is expensive to run and the garden takes up a lot of my time. I dont want to spend the rest of my leisure time spending and working on the house, i want to cash in my chips with the house and buy a shack up in the hills far from the madding crowd and sit in front of a woodburning stove toasting crumpets and potter about in a veggie patch growing my own and taking potshots with a 12 bore at any inland revenue man who might step foot on me land asking daft questions as to where have you salted away your cash. I told my wife that I will consult with my legal man Hymie Cohen and sue for divorce and throw my wife and her 93 years old mother out into the cold cold snow in the depths of winter to be taken care of by our generous welfare benefits people.

donna miller Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Alternatively, rent it out to a family of Somalians for £8000 per month, then rent yourself somewhere small and quaint for you and your loved ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the chances are that you won't cos she will get the house and most of your money too.

Guest Tracker Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Just before you sell your mansion and country estate and to something compact bijou and more manageable ask yourself what you will do with your extra spare time if you had very little maintenance or gardening to do? Would you be able to fill each day with worthwhile pursuits - or would you spend even more time on 'ere winding up the vulnerable! Then again at least it brings a smile to most of us!

Hi Richard, Where have you been hiding? I wondered when you would pop up over the back yard wall, been up to no good I'll be bound? I would spend my time on my painting, tomorrow I have got to erect the scaffolding on the front of the house, a ball ache if ever there was one, getting too long in the tooth for mauling with 21' standards.

nightrider Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 If I did get my dream shack up in the hills, it would have to have a spare bedroom then i would invite Dolly Parton for a free weeks holiday, we could sit on the front stoop jammin and supping corn liquor out of one of them thar gallon jugs hillbilly style.
