OOOH HOUSE HUNTING...AGAIN!!

Spent yesterday morning house hunting on the laptop and the afternoon viewing!!...lol don't you just LOVE looking at property hehe

All that EXCITING potential.....Looked at a small town called Wem a bungalow and a cottage

Closer to OH's work but unfortunately not close enough we did the journey back to test the milage..shame 'cos l quite liked Wem

Cant find a photo of the bungalow from yesterday seems to have disappeared!!

Bungalow had wonderful potential but was over priced for all the work needed....nothing we couldn't have done but a lot to do....

Almost all the ceilings covered in polystyrene tiles..illegal!!

the garage was a wreck and made of asbestos....costly to have removed

All the wallpapers coming off the walls and all the carpets a mess....no idea what you might find under the loose wallpapers and ceiling tiles!!...a lot of plastering a possibility

But a fabulously sunny home with lots of space and a great size with a big garden and loadsa space for Noo Noo....

Cottage gorgeous loved it loved the space loved the open fireplace and the open plan rooms bedrooms ok

BUT....after stepping inside and ooooohing and arrrrhing the agent dropped the bomb shell the gate and the drive which look like they belong (in fact did originally) were shared and the carport and side entrance had been sold to the neighbouring house!!!!!!

Couldn't believe the insanity of that one...she agreed and said it's why they can't sell it everyone says the same thing....perfect cottage useless to us with out the drive and car parking space..the main reason for moving!!

COTTAGE IN WEM

big mistake....wouldn't you think the gate and drive belonged to the cottage?..ggggrrrrr

BOMERE HEATH......the next village to try.....

only about 4 miles from Shrewsbury perfect!.....Todays veiwing fingers crossed just waiting for the agents to open...another bungalow

Love looking at property so yesterday was a FUN DAY and at least we now know Wem is not a viable option...fingers crossed for Bomere Heath!

Moving on is a simple thing, what's left behind is hard!

hope you'll enjoy the house hunt journey too

I LOVE BOOKS...DON'T YOU?

ooops l've been on Amazon!....Throws and Wraps was a Christmas pressie from OH

but the other 5 were about half price on Amazon and already been dispatched....soooooo excited l adore new books

Decided not to take a chance with Noo Noo because of the Snow forecast so not going camping now and was so foggy and frosty yesterday we didn't go shopping either

Not that we want a lot just some emulsifying cream and a snowflake cookie cutter l ordered from Lakeland also want a heart one too....may try again today and venture to Shrewsbury

NOT SO SURE ABOUT THE PINK NOW!!

Good trip to Shrewsbury lots going on to do with the street entertainment...park and ride cut a bit but made less traffic in town always a good thing

Got the pink fabric l thought l wanted but got home and not so sure it went with the light jacket l wanted it to go with...ooops!!..... will make a nice dress though

But the fabric l used to try out the pattern now that l love...vintage with a flock paisley flower design in black on a pale blue/grey back ground and l have a lime green jacket that looks lovely with it so have one choice at least and maybe pink was a bit summery for Catterick in mid September

Love the contrast of style and period in Shrewsbury

One of the colourful entertainers in Shrewsbury over the weekend

Loved this suit

WE LOVE SHEDS SITE....life is beautiful

Forgotten where l found this photo...but it says it all!

As l'm now a proud owner of a wonderful 'Hers' l've joined 'We Love Sheds' leave a comment if you pass by or just take apeek at the wonderful sheds...personally l cant get enough of these personal spaces and there are lots to look at on the site...all lovingly added.....and such a variety of sheds to look at hehe
