It really does sound as if your husband should be married to my wife....... which leaves you and me....... and since I've always fancied your avatar, I think at least a preliminary discussion would be a good idea.........

Not Executive Towers? (It's where I live)....value for money and they're massive.

Churchill I've not been in but know there are plenty available.

Guess it's an extra 20 mins in the morning.

Happy to say Mr and Mrs Lanark got a 3 bed in Bay Central for 125k, happy campers and no wrong turns!! Apt is small but perfect for us for the 2 home offices and a bit of storage space, marvellous
