I can see my house from here

Banks and airlines may be crumbling but one aspect of the scary credit crunch is making me happy: I'm no longer having to wade through glossy property brochures and Are You Willing To Sell Your Flat For A Premium? leaflets every time I open the front door. We bought our flat with the intention of living there for a good long time, if not indefinitely, so the idea of not being able to sell for years isn't hugely worrying. I'm quite pleased we're no longer being hassled by estate agents.
