Your childhood home

Re: Your childhood home

We had an umbrella plant that had cuttings taken off it and were handed out to family. The one that got given to my gran grew so tall that it bent over at the top and followed the lay of the ceiling. Eventually they ended up giving it to a community centre where it could stretch its legs.

Ah plants indoors. Does anyone still do that?

Re: Your childhood home

Yes, I have plants here inside my house. Not as many as I used to have. I actually had none at a certain house I lived at, but the place felt 'odd' without plants.

Re: Your childhood home

My parents have had a few plants over the years.

I remember one was too big for the pot it was in & kept falling over, often getting soil on the carpet.

We also had a cactus that also outgrew a pot & had to be thrown away after it tipped up & fell on my Mum (ouch!)

Re: Your childhood home

I doubt estate agents care when it comes to m,emories though.

thing is you only have one childhood home and if you can manage to keep it do.
the fact the neighbours are nice is a real plus point.
most of them probably know you from u where no age and knew your parents so its like you are among friends.

sf1378, if it were up to me I'd keep it, provided I could keep up with the morgage. Nice house in a nice area with nice people, keep it and tell those estate agents where to go. No sum of money can buy memories.

Re: Your childhood home

Whatever anyone does, if you ever move to Reading, NEVER use 'Prospect' estate agents...they are so pushy. I hate them!

A 3 storrie house in Manchester, I found it a bit creepy at the time but now, I'd absolutely love to live there again.

a childhood jome is more than just a home it is to me anyway.

Only lived there for a few years when I was really young, but the only memories I have of it are happy ones (apart from it being a bit creepy )

Re: Your childhood home

I'm finally putting my childhood home up for sale after 48 years of living here. At the moment I'm torn between 3 different estate agents, Reeds Rains, Wright Marshall and Bridgfords.

Re: Your childhood home

I still live in my childhood home. It's the only home I have lived in and I can't think of anything that would make me want to move after such a long time.

Re: Your childhood home

People whove known you since you where a kid.
