The idea of taking a boat out on the lake interests me but at the same time i'd only use it for about 3 months and i ****ing hate living in the countryside.
    What are the places like over there? do they have space?
    unlike here where most bedrooms once you put a bed in you can't even walk around it.

    Have you considered burning your current place down and being rehoused in luxury at the taxpayers' expense?

    #cladding I love how everyone is a fire expert now. 'it was the cladding' a bit like Iraq war was about 'the oil'

    Burney I am stuck with the same areas coming up over and over again in my search.
    Harlow, Grays, Basildon, Pitsea.

    I may have to take a chance. If I am going to commit to this sort of thing I want a house not a flat. What to do?

    Harlow? Grays? Basildon? These can't be good ideas, f.

    As far as I can make out, Harlow is a vast retail park in which people also apparently live.

    Can't afford anywhere else really whilst still working in London. Unless I am missing some areas. I don't have Monty Money.

    Have you looked at Herts? Even Cheshunt would be preferable to Harlow.

    Had a look at Cheshunt. I can only sort of find nice 2 bed flats for the same money or a few old fashioned narrow terraced houses.
    I want a garden at 3 rooms ideally. I could afford more but the deposit is the issue,

    I used to live in Grays. Don't go near the town centre. Stifford Clays is a better area in Grays. Benfleet is also better than Basildon and just next to it.

    * at the expense of seeing your relatives, friends, and neighbours burned to a crisp, suffering from various degrees of burns, getting lung cancer from the inhalation of smoke, and living with a bit of trauma
