If developers can make money doing it then why can’t the government?
(OK probably hundreds of reasons why, but the theory is good. If we need more houses then they need to be built)
House buying, selling, viewing and the housing market.

If you want more than just Christmas lights, then John Lewis has a huge Christmas section worth a browse. They sell real trees as well as artificial!

Copenhagen is their scandi style in simple designs and elegantly bold colours of black white and red.

And for the grown ups they have amazing gift ideas for everyone.
You could get everything you need for Christmas from John Lewis!
The mood of a room can be influenced by the lighting. Ceiling lights can be bright and clinically harsh, floor lamps can lend a softness that makes the room feel cosier. Some designs are classics that just keep coming back – Anglepoise lamps are available right now at John Lewis as both table lights and wall lights. The classic design remains as stylish as ever.
I love the anglepoise lamp style and have an original one that I use regularly.
The entire lighting range at John Lewis is well worth a look for other styles and designs in both pendant lights, and more table lights such as this really unusual Ebb & Flow Glow in Dome Table Lamp. I think this would make a really stunning table lamp in a lounge or study.
Visit John Lewis’s lighting section for more inspirational ideas for your home. As always they have some really lovely items for your home.
I’ve just watched May the Best House Win on ITV. Four people get to go round each other’s house and then score them. The one that wins gets £1000!
Quite an interesting idea. I’d missed the lovely georgian house that won, and didn’t like the two 1960s houses. I missed the bloke’s house too. Certainly something to watch if you’re nosey!
