ICING AND PURPLE GLASSES

New Glasses...purple! hehe
Needed to go to a 1.75 for my reading glasses only ones l have found so far are purple


Tried a night time shot at 5 this morning of the icing we got last night
Took ages to take aswell hence the shaky pic lol

Snow has put a stop to the house hunt for today but collecting a selection on line to look at next week

Thanks for all the good wishes on the house hunt and my use of colour you don't know how much that means to me
Thank you sooooo much
Happy crafting

I found I could say things with colour and shapes
that I couldn't say any other way
things I had no words for.

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
