Well, where to start, eh? Another year is just about over and so, indeed, is another decade. So it’s time for all the clichés about the passing of time, looking forward and also looking back. This year has been quite a mixed bag. It started with high hopes of blog work picking up again and …
Our house has been on the market for several months and, although there have been a lot more viewings lately, we’re still nowhere near moving. Sometimes we need to rant about things to get them out of our systems, so this is what I intend to do today. I think there’s a direct correlation between …
Disclosure: this is a paid collaboration. 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, …
Disclosure: this is a paid collaboration. 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 …
Disclosure: this is a paid collaboration. 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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
