It would sell very quickly.<br /><br />That's because if the buyer couldn't live init, he/she could just eat it, or give it to their homeless pit bull.Plucky Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10609959853541568873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799914692887174209.post-24605736430358156782010-12-28T22:53:08.274+02:002010-12-28T22:53:08.274+02:00Well done on the gingerbread house.

Yours is more colourful than mine because my husband ate all the candies I bought to decorate it with:)<br />Mine is indeed like a gecekondu but a Turkish friend asked if she could buy it nevertheless. She said if I had time I should make them and sell them. Perhaps you and I should set up a cottage industry (pun intended). Happy New Year to you!Rebeccahttp://www.beccasbistro.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799914692887174209.post-13479052994360688432010-12-27T13:33:58.854+02:002010-12-27T13:33:58.854+02:00Thanks Ayak, you too!

All it's missing is plugs that fall out of the wall the first time you use them, and a kitchen sink with a fixed faucet that leaks with a 2-inch deep basin that holds nothing larger than a salad plate.<br /><br />One of LE's favorite things to do on the way to school (after he got tired of the farm animals in the road) is spot the broken down houses. There are a lot, some of which are broken down enough to just be part of the eroding landscape. He can't quite differentiate the broken ones from the ones that were halfway built, then abandoned. <br /><br />Given the development out that way, this pretty little area will soon be filled with gleaming high-rises and McVillas, situated safely on prime farmland that was once terraced to keep it all from sliding down the hills...Strangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09933997864575809110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799914692887174209.post-87981850476585983512010-12-27T12:17:36.909+02:002010-12-27T12:17:36.909+02:00Along with the veneer call it a crappy English nam...Along with the veneer call it a crappy English name like uphill court or city towers and use over inflated adjectives like super luxs and of course masrafsiz while as soon as you move in it becomes very masfafliUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16681888317406505516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799914692887174209.post-18959053755061279612010-12-27T07:07:13.755+02:002010-12-27T07:07:13.755+02:00It's just not the same here is it?
