Fickle fuckers ain't we?
OK I did like the house a lot. But the garden was utterly unfamilial. And the walk anywhere off the estate was not very pedestrian-friendly. And we have now done a complete U-turn and decided to look in Polegate!
Watch this space for more irrational behaviour shortly I expect.

We do like that house
It's lovely.
Sometime over the weekend, we're hoping to do the walk that J would have to get to work from there. It's twice as far as from here at least but then here it's only 10 or 15 mins.
The living-room seemed even bigger than last time we saw it. Close on 20 feet by 14 or so.
F's favourite selling-point, apart from the tiny pink room with the bunk beds, was the Disney Princess toothpaste in the bathroom.

Small and safe
Little house down the road from us which we just had a look at. It is not very big, not a very big move, not a very big change, small and safe. Better view than we have, and roomier bathroom. Tiny kitchen but could be expanded as others have done in that road.
We didn't much take to it.
Affordable, moderate, sensible house. No zing no cojones.
No 'Kirsty and Phil' wow factor.
And the woman living in it now I have passed many times on the local paths walking her dogs and she has never once smiled back at my charming daughter. She seemed rather awkward and unforthcoming though wanting to sell.
Nah.
Tomorrow we're going to re-view the one on the edge of the 'roughish' estate that we saw last week. With the views.
If nothing else I hope to get fabulous pictures of the views, so wherever we end up living I can put them up! Pragmatic, that's me.
Will have measurements too

Really liked the one we saw yesterday
Pros:
Fantastic glorious views from garden and everywhere really
Good size living room
Nice size kitchen
Smart, modern feel - bamboo flooring, light and airy
Loads of storage
Little garden workshop
Greenhouse
Cons:
Bit of a trek to high street (but hey there's a bus!)
Kitchen cupboards horrible (don't really care!)
I really liked this house, sorry there's no online linkage.

Picking up a bit...
Tomorrow:
Looking at one right on the edge of the allegedly 'rough' estate. With 4 beds and easy access to Downs, sounds interesting, but think it is mid-terrace, which is a no-no. Still there's always soundproofing - start saving your egg boxes for me now, non-vegans! Do eggs still come in egg boxes?
Saturday:
this one is very close to where we live now, which is a plus. In process of arranging a viewing. In the less affordable but still do-able bracket. Have walked past it many times over last few months watching it being done up. So, if nothing else, that will be interesting to see inside.
And just spotted this one, also near where we are now, but more affordable and still ticking a few good boxes.
