    Today I am grateful for
    * 43 bales of hay stashed for the winter
    * an organised, clean hay store
    * I got to go in a pen with three very friendly adult pigs
    * Mr T deliveries, expecting one this evening, went as far as we could with the storecupboard challenge!
    * the small boy is himself again.

    Hi Alex. It has been on since March.
    There are two other reception rooms which are both 'sitting rooms" so there is the option for a dining room.

    Our main issue is that the garden is small compared with the size of the house. I think!

    Got a call from Phil the farmer to say do we want to buy hay off the field (cheaper) as he has just baled it so we are off to buy the Plops' winter rations this afternoon. Hope it stays dry

    Also a tip run planned and clear out the hay store. I am so good at stock rotation when it is hay!

    5 months isn't too long, have you had many viewings? Any offers yet?

    House !!!!!!.
    Not, I should say, in my budget.

    Love the location and land but can't say the interior does anything for me; it's far too modern.

    I spend far too long looking at houses, even though moving is not on the cards for us. One of my current favourites is this: http://www.bagshaws.com/property-detail.asp?propref=B11207

    We have had four viewings no offers.

    Love that house, Alex, but think of the running costs!

    Any feedback? How is your house priced in comparison to similar property?
