But having to carry heavy things to the top is terrible, so I never buy two bags of shopping from the supermarket at a time Apart from that, it's a brilliant place to live.''When we first saw the place, I asked my father's advice about buying it, because we couldn't decide After paying for it, we were a bit worried because it looked awful But we really loved it, and knew how we wanted it to look.'
