Change is in the air
We might be moving house. Basically a property developer has, after negotiation, offered us a fair price for our home, subject to planning consent. We really won't know what is happening until around November/December so we are trying not to think about it too much. That's difficult though, this house holds so many memories for all of us and we had really not anticipated this move for another 8 years when we would retire at the same time. I have become somewhat manic about the whole thing, taking loads of photos of my garden, making lists about what the next house must have etc. As long as we can have one last family Christmas here, perhaps even baby 'poppy' might spend some time with her extended family in the house they all grew up in.
Tomorrow Hubby and I are going out to have a look at boots of cars. Yes, it looks as if I might be getting a 'new' car. We have to look at boots because of the amount of equipment I have to carry for work, plus, of course, a car-seat and pushchair. At the moment I have a 2 door Clio, old style, which has a good sized boot for a small car but the 2-doors are a pain, as is the lack of PAS and EW (AC would be nice as well). I want a Rover 25 but everyone else is against it, which, being the contrary creature that I am, makes me want one even more. I know, difficulty with getting parts etc. but you really get a good deal on them, loads for your money. It's just exciting to be looking, thats how sad my life is!

Good luck on the car hunt, I have made a start on it myself but I have been awful at raising the enthusiasm required to go and have a look at them beyond reading the small ads. |

midwifemuse / Website (13.8.06 19:16) Chippy - The 'Bus' looks lovely but I'm looking for a small car, lots of country lanes and has to be really economical (my mileage allowance hasn't gone up in 10 years). Hope you manage to sell her soon. |
