No idea what I need yet ...... not a lot.
Got some wants .... but they can come later.
Got to find a solicitor first and round up my money.

Obviously petrified I've made a rush decision etc ....as it was "a house I could move into" that was "near to shops and roads and stuff".
And wondering if I should have held out for "the dream" of stuff like a garage/conservatory etc .....
Oh well.

House I am buying is just 2 miles from where I am now, not 20 as originally intended.

Well, you can have things done to a degree. You need a nice solicitor and maybe some
Proper removal people? No mortgage to worry about and a shiny new house is most of the worry taken care of. It's all a bit overwhleming, I know.

You're the one in the best decision to know if the dream house was a realistic one. I'm guessing it wasn't. The reality of this will be far better than any home you've experienced in a few years. Life in general will be easier and that is means a massive, massive improvement in any house that is yours, and clean and safe.

I'm sure it's actually great.

Keep it in your armoury, Dh's and my bathroom? . So far its looking a real mess, though think I might be giving in to the copper bath........

Nooooo. The copper will conduct the heat away and the bath will cool down faster than it would in a normal bath. Unless you like the idea of continually letting a bit out and topping up with more hot?

No, 2 men and half a transit van for 2 hours should do it

It's that location/price/features thing.... to get a bigger house (eg utility, conservatory, breakfast bar, garage) only occurs away from the main shops etc, or at 50-100% more than I had to spend, increasing the reliance on having to always get the car out for the smallest of things etc.

Yes - and as I've spent my original budget only, not my increased budget, I am not going into it with £10 in the bank and no curtains
