Well I mustn't grumble, won the lottery twice this week, a tenner and £9.60 or something similar on the Euromillions! Maybe tonight will be the big one eh? |

I watched one the other day and the couple had both just left the army as officers with massive lump sums. They had lived in subsidised army housing for 30 years and also had a lot of savings. |

They can't get me out of the dentists. Once I start looking at houses in Country Life, I can't stop. Camomile lawns, views across the bay, an arboretum, a lake, a wooded path. Still, theres always Kew Gardens and Bodnant. :-) And could we afford the gardening staff? |

£750k ? Easy. Start a web site and then double the fees. Few of the members would ever notice and would just allow their bank accounts to be debited automatically. And voila - you have that sort of cash to appear on "Escape to the Country". |

If you live in a flat anywhere in London you do not want to be on the ground floor, far too easy to be broken into. |

Sometimes people move from London and areas where their houses have shot up in value so they have made a killing when they move away from the capital. Some people must be good at saving or have high paying jobs from a young age, or have a bit of luck from a legacy or something. |

A young couple moved in next to us in Northants. Paid cash for house (about 550k). In that case her father was a farmer who had just retired and developed a golf course on his land. So 550k for his children was chicken feed:-S :-S |

I only ask because I am watching 'Escape to the country' on tv, and , as I often do, I am pondering on how the people have that much to spend :-) up to about £350/ 400k I can envisage but It just seems such a huge amount to have made ( £500 to 750k..let alone more as it sometimes is) uness one is a lottery winner :-) |
