Perfect house

Just saw a PERFECT house. It's close to where we live in and have seen the For Sale sign for a while, so we drove down the lane to see where it was. Turns out it's empty so out we were, looking through all the windows and exclaiming how the (massive) garden would be fantastic for Poppy running around and growing vegetable, maybe even keeping a few chickens. Four bedroom, two bathroom, huge garden, allotment section, trees one with a rope ladder for climbing..oh my god. Heaven. Think hubby is going to ring up to see if it's still available tomorrow. He's already obsessed and very excited. I too have that tingly excited feeling in my stomach at the potential of it. And the thing is it's within our price range. The top end of it yeah, and it would mean being very careful with money and no extravagances, but to us it feels it could be worth it. A house for life...

Was good to see hubby smiling as he's had a pretty shitty weekend. He couldn't have his laser eye surgery done after all on friday as he had the flu, so the surgeon wasn't happy to do it with the infection risk. After building this up for weeks it was gutting for him not to be able to just do it already. Then his parents, who were on their way to our house from somerset for the weekend, got stuck in traffic after an accident on the motorway. They, quite bizarrely, decided the best course of action was to turn back and not come to stay at all. Hmph. Hence hubby being quite upset and let down, after all it probably wouldn't have been much difference in the journey time to fight through the queue and we thought the prospect of seeing us and Poppy would have been motivation enough. Ah well. So I've spent the whole weekend trying to bolster his spirits and put a smile on that handsome face. Turns out a £190,000 house was all that was needed ;-)
