And now some GOOD News!!
We have found another house to buy - and it’s better than the one we lost! Hurrah!!!!
After we lost our house and before Pat went into hospital for the 2nd time, we had a few days to look at houses. But it really got us down because a 3 bed detached in the same condition as we were going to buy (ie needed lots of work) was going for £20,000 more and 3 beds in good condition were £40k more!!! We were totally gutted!
But on the day Pat was due to come out of hospital the 2nd time, I got a call to say a 4 bed detached had come onto the market at only £12,000 more than our shabby 3 bed (and in our ideal location, too!) Immediately, I was suspicious because why was this house on at £15,000 less than 3 bed places that needed a lot of work? But I dragged Pat round to view it as soon as he was home - and it’s ideal! The 4th bedroom is tiny, I admit it, but it’s only for the 2 of us, so not a problem. The bathroom and kitchen are nice, it has 2 full size bathrooms (one each!) and it also has a conservatory and kitchen diner. A right bargain, and therefore, we have snapped it up! For once, something good has happened to us.
Here are some pictures.
Yes I know - the purple paint in the kitchen/diner will HAVE to go!! :o))

PS Before finding the new house, I had a ceremonial burning of the sales particulars of the old house. Never underestimate the therapeutic powers of doing a burning - it was wonderful!
PPS Talking about ceremonial burnings, I never did get round to burning the dreaded maternity nightshirt (sorry, Struthie!!) but I did throw it away - so it's out of my life forever! Hurrah!!
