Not that I'm obsessed or anything, but it's time for another post about our attempts to finally move home! Last week, I wrote about how we might need to be prepared to reconfigure a new house to make room for everyone. Unfortunately, there are limited options in our area, so we may need to buy one that ...
I've written a few posts about moving home - or at least trying to move home - recently. The signs continue to be encouraging and we've had more enquiries in the last week than in the last few months put together. With that in mind, we've been keeping a keener eye on the market. And, to ...
Our house has been on the market for a while but, with January out of the way, there are signs that things may pick up soon. We've started getting calls from our estate agent again and other properties are being sold locally, so there's cause for optimism. As a result, we've been tidying like there's no tomorrow, ...
Our house has been on the market since September and, thanks to Brexit, things have been really slow. We've had a sum total of two viewings. Two! We're reliably informed that the market is picking up locally though and have also dropped our already-reasonable asking price a tad, so are cautiously optimistic. We're not going to dare ...
Our house has been on the market for a couple of weeks. We've tried to move once or twice before only for circumstances to change, so are determined that this is our time. As a result, our house is the tidiest and cleanest it has ever been. All of the long-neglected DIY jobs have been completed. ...
It's a good job that I didn't get as far as making New Year's resolutions this year. Top of the list would have been moving house. In theory, it should have been easy to achieve. Ours was already on the market and there was serious interest. We had made sure we had a portable mortgage when ...
You wait for ages then two turn up at once. That old adage about buses seems to accurately describe my life at the moment. Everything of note that has happened over the last week has been doubled. The highlights march in two by two. Hurrah, hurrah indeed. It seems that I'm participating in an elaborate game ...
As there are five of us living in a two-bedroom house, it's time to think about moving. As a result, we've been doing a lot of DIY lately. Fortunately, all of the big jobs have long since been done. Since we moved in six years ago, we've had a new bathroom, kitchen, windows and a front ...
Moving home is very much on our minds at the moment. There are five of us - plus the cat - living in a two-bedroom house. The master bedroom is also the nursery and my office. There's outgrowing a place and there's outstaying your welcome! We'll hopefully be moving before long but, with any luck, won't experience the ...
Moving home is said to be one of the most stressful things you can experience in life and, with five of us living in a two-bedroom house, it's pretty obvious that we're going to have the dubious pleasure of doing so again before too long. Our last move couldn't have been more stressful if, for some inexplicable reason, ...
I'm Tom Briggs. A proud dad of three and, somehow or other, the writer of a multi-award-winning dad blog.
I've been writing Diary of the Dad since 2010 and it's gone from a small hobby to my full-time job.
I still have the same enthusiasm for this blog as I did when I wrote my first post and hope you enjoy reading my musings as much as I do writing them.
