Welcome pine and bunny dd2 is6 months and our nights are fairly similar to yours pine, although recently she's been waking for the day at 6 which is a bit pants.
abi so sorry to hear your DM is unwell, sending you hugs and positive thoughts for a good recovery 
Well, the house was perfect and awful at the same time 
Detached cottage totally on its own down a little country lane with half an acre of its own land, 3 bedrooms, lots of outbuildings (DH mentally filling them with cars and tools, me with horses and bunnies!) everything very dated as it is a deceased estate, lots of cosmetic work but nothing too major. Price amazingly low, all seemed too good to be true, which of course it was :( The only neighbours for miles around we discovered live at the other end of the lane, perhaps half a mile away, and they were in the form of a huge traveller settlement. Initially we thought lets not be prejudiced it might be fine, but then I looked up the crime statistics for te area and [bushock] 90% attributable to the campsite. It gets better, then I found a link to national news last year of an armed siege between some of the traveller residents and police [bushock] again, then about a year before that the discovery of a convicted sex offender hiding out there...no wonder we found a gun cabinet hidden in the cottage! So, all in all we decided perhaps not the place for us! Such a shame though, it was beautiful :(
DH has been job hunting like mad here dropping cvs off and knocking on doors so crossing fingers for a bit of luck.
Hope everyone's had a nice day and that there are some good nights ahead.
