the one with…

Posted on March 31, 2010

you know it’s been a while when you have to go back and read your last post as a reminder.  So what the hell have we been up to?  It’s a whirl of view­ings and con­tact­ing solic­i­tors and dis­cussing where we want to live.  I’ve been pretty focused on a cer­tain town and we’ve viewed pretty much all there is to see in our price range there.   Wal hates every­thing we’ve seen and that has been stress­ful.  After some to and fro I finally fig­ured out that he doesn’t want to live in that area.…Okaaaaaay.  I’m also bang­ing my head try­ing to get him to under­stand that the style of house he likes, in a good school catch­ment area in our price range DOES NOT EXIST!! He’s SUCH an only child and one that had been on his own for a very long time that it some­times takes him a while to real­ize it’s not all about him.  Main pri­or­ity is good school catch­ment area, then cost and then style.  So I’m now look­ing at an area I was inter­ested in about a year ago.  We viewed one this morn­ing and I love it! It has a nice kitchen and a large open plan living/dining room.  It also has a sep­a­rate fam­ily room, 2 full baths and 3 large bed­rooms.  WIN WIN as far as I’m con­cerned. Oh and did I men­tion it’s in the catch­ment area for 2 out­stand­ing schools?   Yah it is and as you might have guessed Wal’s not all that crazy about it– road noise he says.  I say bull­shit.  He just doesn’t want to move away from our cur­rent loca­tion.  I don’t want to pay overly inflated prices just because of the loca­tion.  Granted we do live in a really nice area but all the other areas we’re look­ing at are also nice.  They’re just not in south Man­ches­ter, they’re more sub­ur­ban.  So that’s were we are at the moment.  Our buyer is really nice and she isn’t in any rush to move so that gives us a cou­ple more weeks to fig­ure some­thing out.  In the mean time it was 2 view­ings today, 1 on Fri­day and 5 for Sat­ur­day. Oh and that noise you hear is my head bang­ing against a wall. Send love, prayers, good vibes, luck and ££!

Here’s a lit­tle cutie patootie I pho­tographed last week.
