    I'm sensing an upstairs office for the burgeoning PN business empire!
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    Yes, how can I find/persuade somebody within the next 3 hours to take all the responsibility, planning, contacting and work away from me and just do it all for me ......

    Most people get scared close to exchange, I've started early. I guess it's because this wasn't my dream house and because I loaded up RM and said to myself "Find a house on here and buy it" - and a few hours later I was viewing one ... it's all a bit sudden.

    Start a thread in t'other place.

    That's what I did!:D

    I just bought a house.

    Does this mean you'll have to get a job too? Or do the finances work out anyway?

    Practical, little wasted space. :)

    Yes.

    In small houses I do despair of the wasted space of hallways and stairs .... this has minimal waste...

    Square footage, it's actually bigger than a lot of 3 beds that were in/just out of my budget.

    Stay by Shakespears Sister was #1 on my 14th birthday, which makes it the theme tune of my life!

    Not surprisingly, as we recently established how close in age we are, it's mine, too. A song I have no particular memories of or feelings about, though....

    yay:T, I think we were all wondering how you were doing this morning. My wake up time is 5.15 and I thought of you in the doctors just then.

    5.15am? <shudder> that's a positively godforsaken time of day, in my book.

    Sorry lir, I have never contemplated a jar of bees but that's a really good descriptor. Sounds painful and tiring. Hope you manage to get an hour or so in later to replenish your levels and that the pain goes.

    New one on me, too, but a useful simile. My mother refers to a cooped-up toddler or small child as being like a wasp in a bottle, though, which is also handy sometimes.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    I really prefer everything to be in one room/accessible. I'd not want to go upstairs to a spare bedroom to "work"....

    I was thinking of putting a desk behind the sofa, so it'd be a corner office in a bureau/hideaway unit.

    It's the whole idea of "another room" .... everything you want/need is in the usual room, why go and leave it..... I think the Grand Designs whacky layout of a home for me would be circular, or a half circle.... with everything leading to a verandah/conservatory/courtyard.
