We don't live on a canal boat. . Our living space is bigger than the house we previously sold on.

One is at York uni. One is engaged and living with his girlfriend and the others live with us.

Yes, we did what suited us because we didn't want to be burdened with debt. We could have moved up north but why should we. We've made our life here and this is where we want to stay.

Edited to add: I'm sorry you see it as downgrading. I never took you to be a snob Cheryl
