Good morning
Welcome back Diege, hols sound good
Sorry for all the sleepless nights/feeding troubles/selfish twats who obviously can't drive ( LB, still will never get my head round someone causing damage accidentally and then driving off )
Well our house is on the market, or at least will be officially by the end of the day, sign's up, it should be on Rightmove by the end of the day, in the local paper on Friday... was a bit sad watching them put the sign up, we know we have to move, this is just too small for us, the schools are pretty useless past juniors age, blah blah blah, but, I bought 2 of my babies home to this house All the christmas', birthdays, first steps...
But, on a brighter note, we went to see the house (anyone who is very nosy interested, if you go to RM, search for 'Forton, Preston, Lancashire' look for 4 beds, if you're looking at the sales, it's on at £350,000 (or maybe just slightly under - can't remember now!) or if looking at renting it's £875 p.c.m. TBH though, the few pictures there do it no justice whatsoever. The whole house is just beautiful, it's all big and light and it's got loads of 'finishing touches' not mentioned on the details, just silly little things that add a bit of the old va va voom to it! Like the internal doors are all solid oak, the soft close cupboards/drawers everywhere, and the stone floor in the kitchen/utility, you can barely make it out on the pics but it is just stunning!
But, none of it matters because there is no way it will still be available at the end of this month, and even then we would really struggle to get the money together in time for all the moving costs, the letting agent's fees, the first months rent etc. for the month after, and of course I need to know I can get DS1 into the village school, which I can't find out till the school re-opens. Am on tenderhooks waiting for the letting agent to ring for her 'feedback' after the viewing, just hoping and praying they will give us some time, no reason why they should, and I know they've done a fair few viewing already.
We really shouldn't have gone to see it, knowing we can't actually move just yet. The only thing that is slightly in our favour is that it backs onto some nurseries (the flower kind) and right behind the house is some very old dodgy looking greenhouses that don't look like they are being used anymore. Now to me, it doesn't look exactly pretty, but, I'd rather that than other houses/train tracks/motorways etc. but the letting agent did say it is putting lots of people off, so that is our only glimmer of hope I think!
Anyway, have rambled enough methinks! Don't know what it is about MN, once I start, I can't stop! Spose I'd best go get showered, maybe
P.S. I think the Cars thing is slowly coming to an end, it's only been on twice over the weekend, and not at all today, have actually started to miss it!! LOL
