Great to hear you have viewings already after all your hard work.

Brilliant news on the viewings, and seeing another cheaper house! It's all coming together after all your hard work 😁

The meal was great thanks.

I put my washing away and flower arranged last night but other than that rested.

At hairdressers this morning, The need to continue operation declutter. First up is anything that didn't quite get put away the day of the photos then the garage. Ideally I also need to find some matching kitchen cupboard paint to go over the places where I got art type paint splashed across the cupboards.

The £60K below house appears to have already gone. I'm going to see a different house with views this afternoon though. It should be a nice trip out if nothing else. A lot of wallpaper at that one and very dated tiles but its chain free.

Hope the viewing goes well.

Happy new hair & happy viewing.

Wallpaper & tiles are nothing to fix (well almost nothing).  You would probably hate my blown vynyl but I saw the walls without it, so its staying.  Tiles I have replaced with splashwall, that's BnQs name for it anyway.  More expensive definitely but so much easier to clean.

Love the renamed Freedom Fund, there's no harm in having a FF and EF.
Hope the viewing went well and it's helped hone what size / location is viable.

The houses were no good - the noise from a 40mph road the other side of the garden was too great. One had been a smoker's house too and it reeked. She'd died and it was still going through probate. She had an oil tank in the integral garage which felt hugely dangerous. The other was painted in dark colours, completely cluttered, no understanding of how to stage the house - and the prime thing I'd buy the house for - the view  - she'd allowed to become overgrown so you couldn't see it.

I didn't 'view' but drove out to two other houses too and crossed them off the list. One because it was down too narrow/scary a road - and another as it was on an over-crowded estate.

I came home and tackled the garage. I've got at least a car boot's worth probably with the back seats down - load of stuff to go to the tip and about 4 bags for charity.

Tomorrow I see DS and my sister's family. Want to try and nip to the tip beforehand.

Hope you are all having a good weekend. Off to bed. Completely wiped.

Shame the houses weren't suitable.  

Have a good day.
