Mortgage now sorted and new house being bought

Saw a rented place last monday it would 'do' but can't say we were overly enamered with it! Seeing another place tonight similar to what we are buying, it is more expensive - but would be a better accommodation (we think) - we'll make our mind up when we've seen it tonight. Our house won't be built until November/December.

Kate and David have been to measure up for a massive extension on our property - on their property. I felt sad....................when we moved here I thought how wonderful it all was, MY ideal home - I was so proud to live in such a lovely property in an exclusive place. I still do feel that way , but it is FAR too big for us - I am fed up cleaning all the time and it costing us all this money every month. It is nice that the house will have Lovely new owners. I am pleased they bought it.

Keir dropped a bombshell. He and Olivia wanted to rent a place in Burton when he goes to college. I said 'you can't afford a flat in Burton' - he said he knew that, but they want to be together. 'Mom, can she come and live with us' - I said we'd have to see how things go. She is a lovely girl, I am real happy they've found each other - but I don't know if I could cope with another woman in the house? - IF it did happen, they - them both - will have to help do the kitchen, cook their own meals 5 out of 7 days, walk the dog, Olivia would HAVE TO find a job and they'd both have to contribute to the household bills ! What a nightmare.

Going to see this rented place tonight and then to the new house to take photo's see where they are up to - I'm concerned spending all this money in rent when we won't have to live in it.

Ah well, it is ONLY money !
