BarLassofBedlington Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I went to the showhouse today as its only 7 doors off my house and had a little look round. I was very impressed as they reckon in 10 years or so time all council houses will look like that, has anyone else had a look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarLassofBedlington Posted December 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Apropos of what exactly?I used to be a toff once, then my mam and dad split up and mam couldn't afford to pay a mortgage, I was only 14 at the time so couldn't have a full time job so unfortunately we ended up in a council house. I broke my heart when my mam told me I was moving into a council estate but there wasn't anything I could do about it and now I love living where I am, i have the best nextdoor neighbours you could ever wish for!!!
