Can't tell you what it is I love about the house as such. It's in a little village on the tops near the Lancashire yorkshire boarder, so countryside on your doorstep. It's down a dead end so very quiet. Had a garden, garage, utility room and ensuite. All things I've always wanted. And its near my friends and much closer to work. It's a place for middle class families. Where I live at the minute is a busy terraced street, with lots of traffic. Lots of students and very noisey with high crime rate. Not near my friends. It's a 30 min drive to countryside. And we don't have enough room for all our stuff!

Those sound like great reasons for loving it. Keep us posted on your progress, won't you? We're behind you all the way.

LOL. Thanks honey. Well hopefully father in-law will work on our house over summer so we can get some stuff done! But realistically I think a move is at least 12 months away. I know DH says he wants to do it. But I'm not convinced he's ready if that makes sense.

How long would you be able/willing to stay in the area if you bought it? Would you have to move again in a few years, or could this be your forever house?

twinklie

No, its not a forever house. But its perfect to start a family in. I would imagine a good 5 years we would stay there.

What is tent train?

oooo house sounds lovley!! we have just been away to the countryside and there is nothing quite as peaceful
sounds like a long list for your summer hols- I think my list would start with "sleep"
keep us posted on the house!

We want to take her to France with us on a little tour about. But we'd be camping in a tent. We need to get her used to being in one. She's 36kg +so if she want's to get out...she will find away! It's important that we make sure she's ok and calm.:D

Right since I've done very little today and DH is due back I better think about getting my bum in gear! So current plan of action is, shower (I know, I'm gross still being in my jammies at 6.24pm)! Then get dressed (obviously), sort out the washing and put stuff away. Finish cleaning the kitchen as well.

I can't see me getting much done pass this!

This week though I'd like to get numbers 1-5 (HOME) and 2 and 3 (Random) and number 2 (school) of my list complete. If that happens I'll be a happy bunny!

Obviously I'm hoping lots of relaxing and playing with Belle will also happen. Would be nice to spend some time with my hubby as well!

twinklie

Look at me go people. List things are getting done!

A chill out day tomorrow pottering round DH's cottage. THEN I'm going to start school bits and bobs on Wednesday in a bid to reduce the list and make myself feel better.
