Thanks Dave and Canvas

Hubby and I are looking at different options. We’re lucky that we’ve got a bit of equity in our home, and so we thought of buying a static mobile home, which we would most likely be able to buy without needing a mortgage. However, most of the residential parks (as they’re called) are for retired, or semi-retired, people, so those of us with children and pets are definitely not welcome. I think with the current economic climate, that residential parks will become more and more popular (as long as the prices don’t increase there as well!). They are a much cheaper option for home owners, and the ones I’ve looked at on the internet are very, very nice (in fact, nicer than my current home!)

So, if anyone knows of any residential parks that will take kids and a dog, and that has a 3 bed mobile home for sale, please let me know!!

Hang in there VoteDave and Sue! Hope it all works out.
These things always go in cycles - but the current government doesn’t make things any easier.

Hi Votedave, I’m sorry you’re losing your job, but glad for you that you at least have another one to go to. My husband was made redundant, along with 10 others, at the beginning of April, and we now face losing our home - the home that we’ve only been back in a few weeks after the flood repairs. According to the estate agent who came to value our home, we are joining a very long list of people in the same boat. The trouble is, if we lose our home, we will have nowhere to live, literally - Ed, have you got a couple of spare rooms? :p

I’m feeling sorry for Caroline Spelman, who is under pressure to be removed from her job as Party Chairman. Innocent until proven guilty I say.
The Conservatives under David Cameron being 22% ahead in the opinion polls indicates to me that the controversy surrounding her isn’t on the forefront of the voters’s minds - more likely it’s the credit crunch, high fuel and food prices, etc.
On a personal note I’m having to go back to my old, less well-paid job soon due to the fact our client is ceasing to trade next month.

Ed, are you going to be the new Shadow Environment Secretary? Best of luck if you are.

However, please have a word with DC about Eric Pickles! Please NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Keep Pickles up north, PLEASE! David Cameron recently preached to us about not being afraid to judge people - about discussing right from wrong…

Well, it is WRONG to bring FAT OLD Eric Pickles into the limelight. This is the 21st century! Not the 80s.

Just say NO - please please let that man stay up north!
