It's a trip!: Anyone want to lend me 70M pounds

Anyone want to lend me 70M pounds

so I can live here? Apparently my neighbors would be Elton John and the Queen. Probably a pretty nice area, then.

This mansion has just been named "the world's most expensive house".
It has 103 rooms, 58 acres, 5 swimming pools, private theater, bowling alley, stables, squash/tennis courts. It also has a "heated marble driveway". WTF?!?!
I have no clue why anyone would need a heated driveway---especially in an area where it hardly ever snows....

I'm sure I could find a use for it--anyone got 70 million pounds to spare?

Jen said...: It's so hot and I feel so fat that I FEEL like I could lend you 70M pounds. Oh, you meant currency? Can't help you there...; Sun Aug 07, 07:36:00 AM GMT+1

Renee Nefe said...: Have to giggle that Jen beat me to the giving you my spare pounds comment. Of course, I don't think that either of us actually has 70M spare pounds (weight) to give you. But, I picture it like those commercials where the guy turns in the lovehandles to the lost & found @ the mall.
But what to do with a house that big? DH gets his dander up because our house is too big for us. I think it's great that we have a guest room & a sewing room, but he doesn't like it that I stash all the extra junk in those rooms. *sigh*; Mon Aug 08, 12:53:00 AM GMT+1
