When your dream home is now a regular sized 2/3 bed with a garden for the dog

You post seems a little snobby, but I get what you meant. On the positive side, a home is what you make of it, not the bricks and mortar that make it.

I am in a 2/3 bed 1880's terraced house, small back yard, front door opens onto the footpath, right in the centre of town. The 3rd bedroom is a small box room. When our 3 kids lived here, it was full of life. Being in the town, it seemed to the the hub for all their friends. The boys box room, usually had him and between 2 and 6 lads in, all gaming. On weekends, the oldest daughter had her friends over, again between 2 and 6 of them. Some Friday nights/Saturdays it seemed like there were a hundred people coming and going. A full, lively, homely home. Space was tight but it worked. Now just two of us, and the space is plenty.

My sister is in a big 4 bed detached house, massive garden and now there is just the 2 of them, she wants to down size to a 2 bed.

There’s a new guy in the office - it’s his second day and we’ve just found out we have identical commutes Shops charging customers to collect items from their premises Collecting a parcel delivered to the neighbour only for them to say "I never took for that" then threatening to punch you Trying to transfer money on a bank phone line, and being asked to input the figure in pence. Finally trying Tony's Chocolate despite the £3 price tag to find it's utterly disappointing Those people who decide its perfectly acceptable to make themselves a coffee and then proceed to make somebody a cup of tea using the same spoon. I've seen folk jailed for less! I'm at the point in the family BBQ where my dad is complaining about the amount of black people appearing in adverts, send help Absolutely loathing the song "Sweet Caroline" Can't sit even in my own garden without smelling weed smoke! Realising that I never got to finish my glow in the dark dinosaur skeleton in the 90s after dutifully buying the magazine every week. Having to sit through a 1.5 hour presentation about the company making record sales and profits, then being told no pay rises this year due to "the financial situation" During a casual chat with a German superior I off handedly mentioned English village life "can be a bit like Royston Vasey" and now I'm afraid she will judge me based on my taste in 90s bizarist television Bus driver watched me sprint for the bus and closed the doors in my face, even though it only meant stopping at a red light a few yards later Having a degree, a masters, volunteered/worked consistently throughout my studies and still getting rejected by entery level (19k starting salary) jobs. This is the norm for graduates but its still gutting. BBC coverage of the Olympics is a disgrace.
