Hello everyone, just done a quick catch up. 7pm bedtime here for Ethan, he doesn't do bikes yet but should really try him with balance bike if there's one big enough. Automatic car sounds like a good option Gig, holiday photos look great Stitching. LaG, did you ever post after photos of your new kitchen(I know that was ages ago) and how's potty training going? DT, how;s school going? You asked a while ago about pencil grip, I'd try and correct it now if possible. What's his fine motor control like? Can he form letters etc?
This will be old news to all of you but we're having housing dilemmas...yes again!
The house we rent which we once nearly bought has been reduced again and there are apparently people waiting to view. So that put us into panic mode and we put in another offer, on the basis that we'd have a builder round and let them know what needed doing.. Today my lovely step brother(has own building company) drove from Norwich to look at this house and a couple of others for us. His view of this house wasn't great and he found 47 things to put right, estimating at about £50,000 with possibilities of other things going wrong in the future. So this one is a no, no., which means we could be needing to look for somewhere else to live in 2/3 months if the landlords find a buyer.
Today we have seen two very different houses

this one is in the village we live in. It's an old house and needs updating but it also has a 1 bed flat to convert for either holiday flat or long term let, a fantastic 0.8 acre garden for 3 wild boys and a dog and 2 acre field to rent out to horsey person.
Then we went to see this one which was like nothing else I've ever seen.

The photos don't do it justice, but it had had all sorts of fancy heating things, very, very organised with a cupboard for everything. The kitchen was amazing with Neff domino hob with indoor barbecue!, fancy oven, high sink so you don't get a bad back, then she opened a double door full height cupboard and inside it was a baking station, worktop, with marble slab, stool, and so much storage above with all labelled containers, I'm sure in that kitchen I could be on GBBO next year.The en-suite was 4* hotel style, with shower with jets and piping to make a steam room. etc...etc...
BUT it's only 3 bedrooms and to get to the house with dream kitchen is along a track, with 2 gates to open and close every time you go out, or arrive home from work, and very narrow.
House no 1 is 400,000 and no 2 is 300,000 (because of it's location otherwise I know it would be a lot more)
