By: www.mydeco.com In addition to the index, the website completed research amongst their 65,000 registered members, to delve into the nations house proud feelings, and found that a third of Brit’s (29%) make visitors take their shoes off at the front door, and nearly half (49%) admit to feeling flustered when guests turn up unannounced and their home is untidy. A further 16% even admit to pretending to be out when unexpected visitors call, if they haven’t had a chance to clear up. Dr Linda Papadopoulos said, “It just goes to shows that even this credit crunch can’t stop us being immensely proud of the home we live in, to a large extent it’s about feeling we are investing in those things that make us feel safe and that give us an identity- while we may be willing to forgo evenings out and even holidays, investing in our homes gives us a feeling of consistency and comfort." Whether you live in a house, flat, bungalow, boat, caravan or anywhere else you are proud to live, send us a photograph of your home for your chance to win £1,000. Visit: House Proud Towns Index 1.
