Hi all been trying to keep up with the posts, but have been a bit busy. Gosh you all make me laugh.
@inkymoose you made me think about roots in quite a different way. I moved around a lot as a child and young adult and only settled when I met my now husband, some 38 years ago.
I constantly had itchy feet which drove my hubby nuts, i did not think I belonged where I am now but having thought about what you said I think I have put down roots without realising it. So Thank you.
I hope you all don’t mind my personal stories. Having welcomed new baby banned I went to my daughters and son in laws in Cambridge as they were house hunting and needed me to babysit my three year old toddler GC.
when they returned it was a scene out of Kirsty and Phil.
shortlist pros and cons, etc looking at videos.
next day daughter working. went to son in laws fave house with him, on a lovely new development, outside of central Cambridge. No good too near A road dead noisy, got him to show me a house they had not shortlisted, same development.
much better but a shell not a show home. Talked him through
went back to sales and cut a deal that was 50k less than advertised.
soooo I guess us old ladies have some wisdom, they are super excited now after stressing about the shortlist houses and ending up with a better one.
