Hello,
Not caught up at all, and haven't got time to stop, but wanted to let you all know a house came up yesterday, I went to see it yest. aft. and then we all went last night, we should find out for absolute deffo on Friday but looks like it's ours
It is completely different from everything we've looked at before, it's older but been modernised really nicely, and it's a semi which is the only down side, but it's huge it's got a big entrance hall, front lounge (which will become my office) a downstairs shower room, a long but quite narrow kitchen, a rear lounge (play room) huge dining room (living room) conservatory (dining room) a rear hall leading to the converted garage with a utility room, a small room (DS1's homework room), a large room (mine and DH's evening retreat(!)/spare bedroom - sofa bed) and another toilet, then 1st floor there are 3 bedrooms and a huge bathroom with a newly fitted victorian roll top bath in the middle of the room etc, and then top floor is a bedroom which DS1 has claimed, and loads of attic space, it's got a huge drive out the front, and in the back garden there is a work-shop size shed thing, a wood store (real fire in the rear lounge!) and a wooden playhouse thing, not the biggest lawn but big enough for his trampoline and still have room to run about and play football etc.
The only decorating that needs doing ASAP is in the smallest bedroom, it's pink, am sure DS3 wouldn't mind very much but I can't do that to him! Everywhere else is freshly painted, though will obviously over time put my our touch on it, and best thing is, landlady wants a really long let, so short of disaster it's our's for as long as we want it!
It's going to be a drive to DS1's school but if we're right in thinking DS2 isn't going to get into the same school we'd have ended up driving to get them both to different schools anyway so that's no different.
So looks like we can be out of this house around the first week in May, not sure what's going to happen with my course, I think I might have to defer it for a couple of months though am going to try and just keep going with it even while we're moving - that'll be fun!
Right really have to go, both the boy's need changing, DH is feeling really bruised and tender so I am doing 99% of everything, but that means because he is here I feel like I have to be constantly doing something IYKWIM? Spraying the polish into the air and making it smell like I've polished (they NEVER check the furniture for signs of dust!) isn't cutting it!! Will try and catch up later, but not sure if I'll get chance, he's back at work tomorrow so will be back to normal - phew!
Take care everyone x
