A friend and I have always nicknamed our houses. The current place is known as Bodgit Cottage because the person who remodelled it obviously lived under the deluded belief that he was good at DIY.

The next one (assuming everything goes ahead OK) is going to be renamed Skunk Hall due to the fact that I discovered at the weekend that a previous occupant used 6 rooms upstairs to run a cannabis farm. Although I suppose it will be well insulated.

Any nicknames for your pad?

You know what's written in the cement outside our front door....

Ginger cnut (spelt correctly) so it'll have to be that and I think I'll call it cottage :-)

Yes.
But as it is a combination of our surnames I shan't post it here.
It does sound as if we ought to be a stately home, though....

Enjoy your time at Skunk Hall. :o)

Our house is called Dunn(then our surname)
But darling husband nicknames it 'house for spoilt cats and dogs and sucker humans'

ummmm

His cousin did it. The gas or electric needed to work outside the house and had to knock out the pavement. We have a box bay so it's that bit between the front door and window. They cemented over what they knocked out and he wrote it in the wet cement and didn't say anything until the cement was dry.

It's OK, I wont let on, Mrs Windsor Castle.

lol Islay. My cleaner bought me a plaque for Christmas that says "A very spoilt cat lives here".

I have that one for cats and dogs - hubby got the black markers out and added 's' as there is so many of them!!
Brice is now on chicken twice a day which means the dogs also have to get it - and to appease the other cats they get tuna once a day!
Then Trisha the little feral that i feed brought home a boyfriend last night both looking to be fed!!

I sometime refer to my aunt and uncle's house as 25 Cromwell Street, for they are a right pair of horrors.

lol NoM. My mother and I have similarly abusive names for one of my uncles.

My Mum and Dad bought a house in a new development that hadn't (at that point) got numbers - so my Dad named it "Bregenz" (for some reason to do with past holidays I think).

He wasn't too pleased that (after a couple of days trying to dig his new garden) I renamed it "Brick Ends" ... which stuck long after the original name was forgotten ...

One house we had was known as Gnomes and Shutters by all the street, Victorian house with plastic shutters on every front window and gnomes all over the garden.
First job on moving in was to get shut of that lot.
But you should've seen the decor inside!

We bought a house "in need of some modernisation"...????? Before it fell down completely.....
We did most of the renovation work ourselves so I wanted to name it ...... NAKADUS..........
MrG wasn't in favour.... :-(
