    Great news about Mrs QBW. :)

    What would you do if you moved to the Worcester area - commute? How much would that cost? How would that affect the overall cost of living there, even if the house prices are cheaper? (Worcester area is lovely, BTW. My aunt used to live there.)

    Onwards and downwards!

    I need to get out of bed. We're meant to be having family photos done by a friend who's starting a business and wants stuff for his portfolio, but the weather looks rubbish, I'll see what Mrs QBW says.

    Apart from that not a lot to report, august has proven to be expensive, September will be as bad. 6 days until pay day.

    Work seems to be hard at the moment, I'm enjoying it but I'm working hard without progressing much, feels like wading through treacle.

    Right I really must get up

    Not posted for a while, had a busy period. A good friend of mine got married on Saturday and we've had a few meals out with old friends here for that - spent a lot but sometimes other things are more important.

    The photos from the shoot last week are great, really pleased with them.

    Still no viewings on the house.

    Looking forward to a couple of days off now. Have a great bank holiday everyone.

    Nice to see u back! Not great about house viewings but people prob too busy enjoying the sun rather than looking round houses. Won't be long I'm sure :)

    Phew the weekend, my son is going to football training today he's suddenly got into it for some reason. Need to get Mrs QBW's car tax today too, we booked the center Parc activities last night and the credit card needs paying too!

    We've got some celebrations in September so going to be an expensive month.

    No house news.

    Sorry to hear that but don't give up hope. My SIL sold her house this week. After 12 weeks of not much interest they had 2 offers on the same day.

    Hi we lowered the price yesterday, so we'll see if that makes a difference.

    Did you get a speeding ticket? Surely 2 weeks has passed by now?
