I saw some monkeys with my brother and sisters on Monday.
I'm going to be on a radio show that my friend Fat Roland is doing.
And on Saturday we're going to look at this, this and this house and also this house which is, conveniently, right next door.
Hadfield is pretty and I would love to be in the countryside. But I really love being able to walk to work. Not so much when it's raining, to be honest. But now spring is here, it's really quite pleasant.
See how I have remembered that blogging is about "stuff I've found on the internet", not "make a dull list of everything I've done in the past fortnight, cunningly in reverse order"?

The listwasn't dull, it was good to hear what you are up to, but it didn't leave much for comment, that's all. As to houses, I like the second one.
I like the second one the best, but the garden that goes with the first one is lovely!
I'll let you know how we get on!
You people, you have very good taste! The second house was absolutely beautiful - we really loved it. However, I think it doesn't have quite enough space for us - nowhere to put a dining table and the second bedroom was quite small. I know there's only two of us, but I am a hoarder...
However, travelling out to Hadfield and back made me think that, although it is lovely, it's possibly not a good idea - the commute would be horrible.
We looked at the house next door and we like it. We're going to look at some more houses in the area this week, to see how we feel. The house enxt door is perfect downstairs, but the bedrooms upstairs are mainly quite small - it would work for us as we have no children, but I'm worried that it wouldn't be attractive to potential buyers if we ever want to sell.
This house-buying malarkey is quite complicated!
IMO it's a bad idea to start rating a house on how much you'll get if/when you sell it. Buy it based on the fact you're going to live in it for a few years and are going to be spending a lot of time there.
Anyway you could always take a wall out to increase the size of the bedrooms, albeit at the cost of reducing the number of bedrooms.
I am a bit scared about buying a house. Very excited but a bit scared. Once we've bought one, we have to live in it forever or until we sell it. I don't want to be in a position where I really want to live somewhere else but have a house I can't sell because it has a ridiculously small bedroom. I don't mind how much we'd sell it for as long as it was enough...
Any thoughts on how much you can offer below the asking price of a house? Are vendors (sounds like they're selling things in the street rather than selling houses) likely to get offended at a low offer and not want to sell to us any more? Or will they just make a higher offer?
Thank you for coming on the Quite Early Show the other day, it was good to have some intelligent company on air for once. ;)
I also like house No 2....
It was fun - I'd do it again. Ideally without injuring anyone this time though!
And I'd check your blog for pub quiz questions beforehand.
I'm no expert on offers but try http://www.bbc.co.uk/consumer/guides_to/buying_offer.shtml
I liked house number 5.
That wasn't helpful.
Really, Mr Fat Roland!
I don't expect help from you anyway. You're more of a hindrance type person.
Though if we do buy a house, I will expect you to spend your day off carrying things from one house to another again. It was fun last time...
And this time I promise* to do a little more work in moving my own house.
*unless I break another limb.
