    aww tete it will come good in the end! I know it will! Maybe you could widen your search or something? And meanwhile just really focus on the MOF and building that up?!

    Spotted a nice house in a lovely area, v cheap bu no pics of the inside and not much of a description!! So may ring up a bit later about that, see what they're hiding!

    I'm not too hopeful about it to be honest, it looks nice from the outside but there's another house on the same street that's £100 more expensive pcm, and the inside is quite shabby, not a fitted kitchen etc ... but we'll see.

    Augh, just checked my bank, where does my money go?! Few things to do today:

    - Move car fund from A&L to Nationwide
    - Buy cat food
    - 2 reviews to Ciao
    - 2 Dooyoos
    - Restart FoodFocus
    - Supermarket
    - Make card
    - Finish mood board
    - Make sponge cake for OH? (Only if I get time, I've told him off about his cake demands!)

    But at the mo I have sooo much on at work so best get back to that :(

    I have the same problem, seriously short of money!

    Really hope you find somewhere soon.

    Thanks Wendz, me too :) Somehow got to looking at flights to Pisa whilst I was eating my dinner and now I fancy a trip to Italy in May!! It was Ryanair though so not entirely sure how much more than £39 return it'll actually come to! (rolly-eye face)

    Sorry to hear that the cottage has gone Tete - such a shame!! But i am sure you will find something equally nice!

    We have had some news with regards to the house we were looking at, apparently the work structural damage is much more serious than they originally thought and the work will take about another 6 weeks to complete - trying to decide at the minute if we want to wait for it or start looking at some other places. Decisions decisions!

    Augh, nightmare! I guess you can look, knowing that that one's there if you want it... and if you find something else then it must be fate? Six weeks isn't too bad :)

    My thoughts exactly, but OH is keen to start looking elsewhere.
    Im thinking though that if the damage is bad they are going to have to rip floors up/plaster walls etc... it could work to our advantage as they would have to put new carpets etc down :D

    Not doing too well on the reviewing front am I? Work is a total nightmare at the moment and has been especially fraught and stressful today, I haven't left my desk since 8am. I'm ready to go home for a big cuddle and an even bigger glass of wine :(
