yikes...

so we got an offer, not a bad one actually, certainly not a cheeky one, but we're pushing it to see if we can get a little more.  and frantically searching for a House ourselves now.  We keep swinging between ostentatious frivolity, which would see us mortgaged up to our eyeballs for the rest of time, and frugal sensibleness which means less rooms/smaller garden/flock wallpaper but the ability to give up work sometime before the end of this century.

ah decisions decisions.

we have Thursday off to do some actual real house-hunting as opposed to the virtual stuff.
