Well after four days of house hunting I got home a day later than I should have was due home Saturday but extended by a day. So I came home Sunday instead.
Took us 7 hours almost to get back we had bad winds and torrential rain, really it's normally between four to five hour journey depending on traffic. We had twenty mile tailbacks on the motorway through from cambridgeshire right through to Stanstead in Essex. I got soaked in the process the car has a tendency to overheat in awful weather, it starts to make the heating in the car go really hot. So there is me sat in the back of the car with just my warmer and freezing my poor socks off cold and wet. Was only option and the rain all hit me. Ment we got home safe and sound so that's all that matters.
We viewed a beautiful cottage in Winterton a village about 5-6 miles from Brigg. I fell in love with it, had 2 open fires on in the lounge and one in the kitchen. Central heating, all the walls were stone work. Including the floored tiling which was quarry tiles. Soo expensive to buy but beautiful. Had 2 bedrooms one large one and one smaller one. I called dibs on the smaller one if we got it. Plus had shower room so no bath, i'll admit nice because easier to clean but i'd miss my baths. Had a little courtyard I was over the moon because would mean no gardening, just sweep and power wash.
Mom received a call yesterday telling her they will let us know today oh god i'm praying like mad we get it.
Today she also received a call about a 3 bedroomed house in scunthorpe for rent, owner said she can view tomorrow so i'm housesitting I think. I don't want to sit in a car all day again. They said if she takes deposit up with her it will be ours on the spot and we can move in as soon as monday. I was like holy crap that soon, so either way we garenteed a house.. This one the 3 bedroomed one would be more ideal as means mom and john would have a room for when get back from Jordan trips. Which is better than sleeping on the couch till we find a bigger place or booting jay or me out of a room. I hope she takes pictures. I'm still hoping on the cottage as love it so much but if no it will be the house. All I know is it's in a cul de sac so it will be quieter. But it's in scunthorpe so means it's bang smack in the middle of town, nice for shopping and what not. I'm not a town girl, i've lived in country side and open fields for so long I'm not sure I could adjust to noise. That's why I loved the cottage even though it's in a village the area up road just had open views across the fields and 3 pubs and 2 shops and a fish and chip shop. Plus it was a village lol can't you tell i don't want to live in a town.
Minute I know I will post the news either way....
That's all for now folks
