House Hunting

Mr JD and I are staying at my father's house whilst we hunt for a home in the new Deanery.

We are hoping to buy somewhere and the estate agents are foaming at the mouths like rabid dogs when they hear that we are first time buyers and want to move asap. We have trawled round 25 properties in three days (and many more on the internet). We have established that we don't like cat pee or cigarette smoke. We are not prepared to move into a new home and spend 25k modernising, whilst working 56hr weeks in the new jobs.

So, it is very stressful. We have possibly found a suitable place. It's nice. It's affordable and we can get to the far flung reaches of the Deanery within an hour. However, the house seems more expensive than it should be. We need to make an offer that is appropriate but we can't work out a suitable amount.

Difficult times.
