  • I've just been catching up on your diary, doing amazing as ever with those surveys, they certainly do all add up. 2018 is going to be a great year for you! Buying a house and now your holiday to look forward to. House searching is tough but I always go on area over anything. I would rather have the sh!ttiest house in the best area then the best house in a !!!!!! area...which is basically what I've always had in mind with buying. My current house was a tip, and had to be fully renovated but means you can have it exactly how you want in the end...does take time! Have you looked into the help to buy? Not sure if it's only on new builds though? Have you considered them?

    I am coming to Glasgow in a few weeks for a wedding! We are staying at the Blythswood Square Hotel and the wedding is in the chapel at Glasgow uni and then onto One Devonshire Gardens...googled them and all look nice! Any recommendations of things to do/places to eat etc...? xxx
