:wave:HI Hypno,

This housework business is a pain in the backside when you're working, have a family, trying to do extra and I've still got 2 weeks of running before the marathon! Although have had a cold all week so no runs.

At the mo I've got an A3 piece of paper with 'The B...'s Big Clean for Christmas Campaign' on it which I have listed everything that needs sorting out before the family decend on us for Xmas Day this year. I've only done 3 things so far but my dd said that it looks nice so chuffed that the family have noticed but would actually like some help. So 4 year old will be scrubbing and cleaning at the weekend :rotfl:.

Lots to do and can't believe how much has been thrown out or donated, I thought we were quite sorted.

Anyway just wanted to say, well done and I mean a big well done for everything that you and your family have achieved. I know it get hard at times but there will be an end to the struggles and who cares about a bit of dust or in my case a lot of dust, and mess and toys blooming toys everywhere!

Thanks eva - how I EVER found time to train for a marathon as well, I will NEVER know! Good luck - 2 weeks :eek: Keep taking the vit c for the cold, and don't run until you are better - you have done the hard work, so from now on as long as you get better, you will be fine.

Today brings about another house that I would def def def go and look at if I were debt free. It's not big or fancy, but has potential and is in my chosen "walk to work" location, and is at a reasonable price. Bah to debt, and all things associated with it.....

Have a good weekend Hypno. Originating from East Anglia myself, I certainly noticed the difference when we moved up north a few years ago - the air is fresher and clearer, and less hot and humid in the summer.

Oi, you lot! Stop talking about us as though we are some sort of foreign species up here!

Also, I wish I could describe a house like that as 'not big or fancy', Hypno. A 2-bed flat of my own would be luxury for me! (I'm a young, naive non-property owner.)

that house is nice but the rooms seem a bit small and they seem to have some odd furniture in some of them..... The grass needs greening too! I prefer it from the outside to the inside from those piccies.....

There have I made you feel better about not getting it?

Hope you have a nice weekend despite all the driving!

Location, location, location, as far as that house is concerned......I will happily compromise on space to live there.

So, sorry - you've not put me off it :rotfl:

Pickle - I started off in a one bed starter home - not even a separate bedroom, more of a studio with a mezzanine floor for the bed. The only separate space was the bathroom. It has taken me years and much heartache to get where I am now, and I should have been a lot further down the line if Plan A had worked! (see first post of the last diary for the history!).

Hair dyed, housework well in progress, car loaded.....just need to dry hair and have another coffee.......

I think that house might be my fave so far. I really like it from the outside and it looks like it has some great potential. (I do like a project!) I quite like smaller rooms = less cleaning! And warm and cosy = energy cost effective!

I think I might be telling myself this to justify my 'cosy' 2 up 2 down! Well, 2¼ up really, there is a tiny bathroom! :rotfl:

Have a great weekend and best of luck to the Hypno offspring
