    jo - nice area but very pricey around clapham! Just be aware that if you move a bit further out you get lots more for your money. We pay the same here for a 3 double bed flat as DH's colleague pays for one room in a shared house in Putney!

    DH now up and once he's out of the shower I'll have one then head into town. Flying will be later!

    Five thank-you letters decluttered, about to tackle the random bag and coat mountain in the hall.

    My new year's resolution, I have decided, is to either lose weight or to get pregnant. Both might be too much to hope for!

    eta soappie maybe yours is one of the very rare cases!
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    Thanks Rach, I know that its more expensive but I dont really know anywhere else and would like to be as close to my aunt and uncle as I can. The areas that Im looking at are 10-15 minutes from her, but away from the common. If you have any advice on areas I should look at, can you PM me please with them and Ill have a look. Thanks again xx
