You must be joking.... it's very very slow. Picking through individual paragraphs held in individual blocks, then various individual settings that are set in different panels, that have to refresh... then reload ..... on over 200 pages

But - love to meet half way next week

P.S. I am not a coffee drinker... hate the stuff unless it's instant/granules
Hot chocolate with whipped cream and flake ftw

Hot chocolate it is. S long as its somewhere I can buy still water.

Spirit, are you free a day next week? We could make it a trio?

I wonder where half way between 3 is
Salisbury looks a winner....

Harrumph. Stupid jobs.

I am usually fairly flexible so long as I can get cover here. There are a couple of weeks I cannot do next month.....but maybe the three of us cold email a date, or do a Saturday? ( if its a Saturday then dh will tag along though...but PN knows him, he's very inoffensive, and does girly coffee quite well.....or disappears to raid any independent music shops, delicatessens or markets.

S seems ideal PN, that's where I imagined we would meet PN, though I am happy to go elsewhere

The problem with house hunting appears to be not that houses are too expensive, but that there are only about 4 on the bloody market!

Around here no-one in my first choice of area seems to want to sell their house. At least not the ones I can afford anyway. How inconsiderate!

Anyhow, between you, me (at the other end of the price scale), Bertie and michaels (don't think I have missed anyone?), I think we have a NP housing boom on our hands. Gin and tonics all round? I'm not sure about you Chewy, but I'm only hoping to buy so I can join the groin-thrusting Homeowners on Parade :rotfl:

I'll have to give the groin thrusting a pass, I don't want to aggravate the injury I got in the last house owners vs. renters street battle.

There's an old saying... many a true word spoken in jest.

Top tip: expand the search area to larger than 3 roads.


For me ... I find they're too expensive. There's not much choice in the ideal size ... so I have to look bigger and then they're too expensive. Until you get to 3-bedrooms, most houses are simply inadequate/cramped. It's really not fair

Contact Kirsty/Phil and get them onto it for you.

If I was on location location location there is no way I'd let Kirsty do the bargaining. So it's on for £500,000, why don't we try offering them £499,999.99 and see if we can grab a bargain?

Erm, think I'll handle it from here thanks all the same Kirst...
