Keep calm and carry on....

I have a feeling that would require a new mortgage 😮! They're advertised as being "from" £69,950, but you can bet that's the old, run-down ones, not the fancy ones in the glossy flyer!

Maybe you could buy one to rent out to holidaymakers! Nice little business for you 🙂

I have often thought about buying a flat to have as a holiday let. But a) a suitable one would probably cost more than my own flat did, which feels wrong! And b) I just can't bring myself to have any appetite for taking on another mortgage! But I do have a little browse every now and then just to dream 😀!

I snoop through property listing as well, not for holiday let's or moving... Just to day dream. I think a lot of people do.

Do you play the £1 million game?

Funny you should say that, I was nosing at the particulars of a £3m house about a mile away the other week 🤣! Though I have to say, the £1.5m one on the same street was much more to my taste!

I always look at the number of bathrooms and think about the cleaning...

Surely one would have a cleaner, darling???

One isn't going to have a cleaner, but you can bet your bottom dollar that one will also be closing the doors on at least three of the bathrooms and not using unless guests are coming! (If you're not a regular reader of my diary, we're currently in process of purchasing - for £530,000 *not* £1M - a house with 5 bathrooms!) 😂

Ouch 5 bathrooms. Before covid, OH used to work away from 3 days a week, for those 3 days we wouldn't use one of our bathrooms, this left me and the children with one upstairs and one downstairs which was plenty. It still would be except our eldest likes to take up residence in the bathroom for extended periods, so having all 3 bathrooms available makes life easierfor all of us.
