I feel like a total nosey neighbour today I feel like I’ve been giving the net curtains a right good twitch lately :-p Anyway, the story, the house over the road (no 11) and the house next door (no. are both up for sale. No 11 is a bit of an unfinished project (like ours) and has been for sale for months…. No 8 got repossesed about 4 weeks ago, it was all very much like homes under the hammer meets beat the baliff (tv shows). Cue lots of banging, a county court judge in the street and a locksmith along with 2 heavies and a van So it’s up for sale and a friend of ours who lives in the next street got curious, we got curious, so we made an appointment to see it…

Meanwhile, I get caught in my dressing gown answering the door at lunchtime to a very pleasant lady, who was interested in buying No8 (next door), not the best way to introduce yourself to a possible new neighbour, she also tells us about no11 that they had an offer in on…

We go in today, it’s trashed, it looks like they were living like pigs in it, yuck! It’s got walls half painted, needs so much work doing on it. There ends the idea of a quick buck between the 3 of us. At least we had a nice lunch (I cooked) in our back yard with the sun shining and all of us being astounded, discussing the houses. It turns out no 11 has subsidence, eek, thankfully ours & no 8 looks okay on that front (another reason for checking it out!)

So, tomorrow is the day for a bit more investigating We’re getting ours valued tomorrow, just curious to compare more than anything!

With that I’d better go tidy up a bit and clean the hall floor (joy)

Oooo, I almost forgot, I have another interview for a job on Tuesday
