Houses and Cars

Yesterday we spent the day looking mostly at houses and a couple of cars. We have found a property very close to the school that looks perfect and our estate agent is now in negotiations with the owner to try to fix out a few issues. We are very excited about it and are going back for a second viewing today. I hope I can get a couple of pictures today to post for you to see. If we get it for the money we consider it is in the PERFECT location. I am purposely not giving too much away here at the moment until the deal is secured because a number of the teachers who were initially looking in the city are realising that the traffic is VERY busy and that a place nearer the school is not such a dumb idea. I don't want the owner realising that there is competition for the place in case I get gezumpped. The car I had identified looks like it is not available in automatic transmission until October so I need to decide whether to rent and wait until it comes in or just buy something else. We saw a nice little car yesterday that we think would be a good alternative. Much smaller but it has a big feel inside. I am planning to test drive the manual version of the bigger car and have a good look at it then decide whether to wait (not a thing I am overly good at) or just to get the smaller one. Sheila has picked her colour for the smaller one. Mystical purple! I have to say it's a really nice colour so I won't have to drive around with a paper bag over my head with holes cut therein.

Getting ready now for our second viewing. Keep your fingers crossed for a successful negotiation.
