I spent my New Years’ Day rather peculiar. With it being Saturday and me being a diary type of person, laundry, towels and bedding had to be done irrespective of the festivities others may enjoy. With this done, hubby and my daughter went house hunting during the week and saw a house they thought would fit our needs and the owners kindly allowed hubby to bring me over on New Year’s….. I can only imagine theirs was about as boring as ours.
We knew
from the start, although wanting to go smaller, we needed big spaces. We have bulky furniture, my frame, a sewing
room and a massive bar/lounge/TV area.
Trying to find the space in a newly built house with extremely tiny
rooms would simply not suffice, so we made peace with the fact that we’ll have
to look for something in an older area.
This was my
New Year’s outing, looking at an OLD house, with enough rooms and I will have a
room for my frame, sewing room, study, 4 other bedrooms (although much
smaller), 2 extremely coloured (one pink the other blue) bathrooms, a pool, under roof entertainment areas (2), massive garage for hubbies’ woodworking
tools and locked parking for 3 cars. It
had enough areas but ugh…. The cupboards and kitchen are years out of fashion,
the floors…. Well, being into the flooring trade for many years, I guess very
little will satisfy me but I can still live with it. Now my fears are, we ignore this and look for
something else and lose this place, never finding another house with sewing and
frame room and garages for hubby or we make the best of this, put in an offer
and not look at any other houses in order not to see anything better.
Hubby is
accompanying more estate agents tomorrow to look at other options and here I am
fearing we might lose an OLD but perfect (structurally sound) house.
