We’ve done deals all over the place

Hurrah, hurrah, I have come to an acceptable price on the house I am buying (excepting the possibility of massive heartbreak if something goes wrong) and have accepted an offer on my house within 24 hours of each other. All that remains now is the small task of sorting everything else out. I can handle [...]



It’s all too scary

I have had an offer on my house which I am contemplating (actually I have had two offers but I rejected the first). I have made an offer on another house, which I suspect they have contemplated and are going to refuse. I am far too excited, I have decided that the house I have [...]



Around and about…

Oh yes, we are all out on our mobiles you know, I for instance am posting this from the top of the Eiffel Tower. I just love Paris, don’t you? As I look around me I can see the Seine especially a couple of rather great bridges. In the far distance I know the [...]



Exciting

I was wondering whether to be really conservative in my house purchasing and go for a 2 bed house but tonight I looked at 2 3 bed houses. They were both good and have certainly got me thinking. I also had a viewer tonight, which was fun as I felt much more able to just [...]



Poor service

Do you know, today I went into Nationwide to ask a question, hoping to talk to a personal banker type person. There was no such person available so I queued for a while, a couple of lads walked out as they were fed up with waiting, I waited and finally reached the front of the [...]



Scary cat

Someone I know gave a little cat some cellophane to play with, she stared at it for a while and then suddenly pounced on it. The someone who gave the cat the stuff in the first place jumped and spilled his coke over the sofa and himself. It was very funny but you probably had [...]



Oooh oooh oooh

I had two sets of people round to look at my little house tonight which meant furious tidying – even though I had tidied for photos yesterday there was more that I had planned to do so had to do them furiously before badminton (I was quite good).
Anyway the people…
Couple 1 – easy to talk [...]



I’ll continue boring you with house hunting until you scream mercy

Today I took my compass so I would know where the sun would be in the garden (how organised was that) of course given the people had already accepted an offer of the full asking price it was rather irrelevant. Anyway this evening I saw another house, the owner clearly has not watched any of [...]



A box obsession

How is it that I have now packed about 8 boxes of stuff (even if I did unpack 2 of them, at least I did that in someone elses house) my house doesn’t even look any less empty? The dust left on some of my book shelves made the cat sneeze, I think she did [...]



A new idea

Rumour has it that certain school has decided that it is a good idea to label children’s books with the type of learner they are. This means visual, auditory or kinaesthetic will appear on the front of books and when you start talking to a class some will say “we can’t learn by listening, we’ll [...]
