    Hope the meds work, and congrats to DD!

    Hope the viewing reinforces everything for you.

    I've no intention of moving, so our downstairs loo would be for us rather than any future buyers.  We have an awkward plot though, so I don't know where we could put one.  We don't have space for an extension.  I sometimes think of getting an architect in to have a look and advise us.

    I'm definitely one who considers all the risks too.  Sometimes it's hard, but equally it can be good as you can come up with a plan to mitigate it!

    Great news for DD.
    hearts and heads/heads and hearts - I think house buying really puts these into action and sometimes they appear to be contradictory - I hope you can find the right balance.

    another busy few days for you - and a whole new world to explore for DD - things are buzzing in the SH household
    I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
    Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
    Smiling and waving and looking so fine
  • Congrats to DD on passing her driving test.

    Be careful with the cat treatment.  One I gave my Kitty which kills everything and lasts for 3 months, called Felpxxxx gave him Ataxia.  It was a side effect on the paperwork, but no-one knows how animals will react to certain chemicals.  It was terrifying, but he is nearly over it now.
