Materialism: The "What have you bought?" Thread

I can't even hang a painting, hasn't stopped me buying some absolute wrecks, culminating in my present house. It can make sense though, financially, if you budget in the cost of professional renovation. But things inevitably will go over budget and you shouldn't ignore the stress and inconvenience. Very hard to get hold of good tradesmen at the moment too. These property programs like homes under the hammer wind me up with their renovations, usually 3 or 4 times less than it would cost the average Joe.

Not that I'm telling anyone what they don't already know but all the reno shows I've worked on nothing is as it seems and a lot require so much work after the contestants have finished that the actual costs can blow out enormously.

 

We've just moved back into our's after being out for 6 months for renos thank fuck.

Delete the last page. They've chosen another offer 💩

 

Now got to decide whether we blow out our buyers, move further afield, rent temporarily...

 

 

Ah shite, sorry to hear that. Think how much the daft cunt that got it must be overpaying by though. You wouldn't catch you overpaying for a house.

Speaking of house shows, that bald Tory cunt from Location x3 is currently picking up wedge for doing Wickes ads, where he repeats the made-up word “housebarrasment” ad nauseum. 
 

I hope a wall falls on him.

Brilliantly tone-deaf, isn't it? "There's an unprecedented global pandemic on, but never mind that, best splash a few grand on a new kitchen so your colleagues don't judge you on your Zoom chats!"

Like you’ve got any say on the matter. Didn’t you just move for the last time about 4 years ago? ;)

You should judge them on the basis of their internet connection according to that other appalling ad

no, i lived in my last house for 10 years. 

I remember you going on about the size of your mortgage but fuck me - ten years ago? Jesus! Mind, I thought we’d been here 3 years before my lass reminded me it was 5 past November. The bit about you having any say still stands though 😛

the years start flying by after you have kids like - it's terrifying. we were happy in our old place but moved this time to be in the catchment for the local secondary school.

but you're not wrong. i do as i'm told - it's the secret to a happy marriage. if we have one more move in us, it'll be to somewhere more rural after the kids have both fucked off - so at least 15 years from now.

She’s nee Sarah Beeny 

 

Allsop? I wouldn't touch her with a shitty stick. There's hate shags and then there's hate shags, but shirley the object of the hate/shag has to be at least presentable?  not a fuckin six pinter. 

 

Beeney is a similar sort;  posh, opinionated and high tory.... she's also very, very sexy..

Phil fucking Spencer. I can't tell you how much I hate him and his copresenter pig in chief, "Kirstles". Apparently he's an avid hunter, just to add to his cuntishness.

I posted one of my favourite shite ( and a bit lacist) jokes somewhere on here the other day.

We chose our area because of the primary school catchment area. Mrs wanted to choose one for the local secondary but I figured that, in a decade, the excellent schools might be shit holes and the shit holes might be excellent. Plus, once I teach him how to play as a false 10 he won't need schoolun'
