To cut a very long story short we have lost out on a period house that i LOVED today despite going over the price it was first sold for by 30k, for the 3rd time in 7 months tis a nightmare.
The thing is we have sold ours and have to go through with the sale by the end of August, our house is too small for us and we don't want to live here anymore, a while ago saw another house its very nice completely suburban though 4 bed post war semi dh loves it and its so practical, i can see that and we could make it lovely BUT no matter how lovely we could make it its just not me.
I've always seen myself as a bit of a bohemian/good lifer type throwing fab parties in my big house (i waqs planning a great gatsby house warming thats how much i believed it was ours)financially this house tick none of those boxes but does tick the walk to school, big garden, plenty of space and will make the dh and children happy. We've put an offer on it but i'm not sure i'm doing the right thing. I feel like i'm giving up my dreams and just settling. AIBU, WWYD.
Its taken us 8 months to sell so staying here isn't an option and we're stretched to the max any other houses i've seen that i like will send my DH over the edge.
