Very cool spirit. Out cools res p who met with a film director today.

On res p news, res p also saw family friend doctor this week who thinks res p is being absent minded rather than anything else.

That all sounds like more than absent mindedness to me. But hey, I'm not an expert.

No meetings with anyone famous here...

....seems seriously over priced to me

The barstewards are all ferkin like that now .... one I've just seen should be £30k less than they are asking in my book ......
New, sold for £X.
Zoopla says now worth £X + £13k
Asking £X + £40k
EA said they want £X + £35k
One fairly similar just 200 yards away is even more .... so you end up sucking it up or continuing to look, which gets you nowhere.
You have to plonk a stick down and say "S0d it .... it'll do" or "S0d it ... next one that has some positives"

Hello!


Don't know what' market is like round you but there are precisely four things we've even considered viewing here ( in the five towns in the balance). Treacly slow. Them forerunner is overpriced but been sitting on market for months but won't take offers. Then there is another fixer upper (its inherited this madness of buying wrecks with no profit in them).

Down here they do seem to go very quickly for about the asking price, to be fair.... so they're over-priced, but there are lots of people with a lot of money who come from London, so they seem cheap ... and still lots of BTL LLs buying everything.

Next time one of them comes I'll invite you for supper, huh? I think its too far for Tom term to come, which is a shame. One of them is a lovely woman, left leaning even Lj.......culturally on the pulse, funny charming. I am very excited for her at the Monet because I kicked her up the butt about something not romantic and it seems to have worked.

Sadly this means she is now kicking me very hard In return......ouch, ouch, ouch. .

Tsk. Have you forgotten there is already a queue?

I hope to get a bike at some point when I move & start cycling. I don't care if people laugh, as a) I'll have my mp3 player on, so won't hear them & b) I know that I'll be able to go on some AWESOME cycle routes when the weather is nice.:)

Be careful what you wish for ... I bought a bike... and nearly every time I took it out the chain fell off (except once, when I got a puncture). Shop said I was "riding it too slowly" - and I pointed out I have to ride it slowly to get the stamina built up to ride it faster!

So now I only take it as far as I am prepared to push it home

I keep thinking that if I just offer asap (nearly did it on the spot) ... then I can just get on with the rest of my life - and with enough in the budget to buy what I need and to take up a hobby or two

That's kind of where I got to. I do really like this house, but about 51% of the time I think I paid a bit too much (esp considering the work that needs to be done)/ wonder how difficult it'll be to resell/ etc etc.

But, I don't have to look at Rightmove every day, I don't have to deal with estate agents again (hopefully until the time of my choosing), and I'm not living under someone else's house rules (/ paying for their baths, partner's baths). And nothing has come up since that I wish I'd hung on for (and prices are still creeping up).

You can't put a price on the feeling that you can just get on with the rest of your life

No, not the kicking. I already have someone kicking me and they told me what I can kick them back about

Then and again, probably not the nice boys either. Too nice for me! The only bit of the hen do the other weekend that makes me cringe was possibly putting someone off ever paying anyone a compliment ever again. Oops.

I'm either a) not cut out for someone being nice to me, b) haven't completed my rehabilitation yet or c) both of the above
