House Viewings and a Wedding

Apparently we’re thinking of moving. Yes, I was surprised too. Chloe’s been looking at houses on and off over the past month and suddenly we’re actually arranging viewings and valuations and all that jazz. Yikes!

So, we headed back fairly early from Topcroft for two house viewings. The first was literally 1 minute’s walk from where we are now, it was nice but had a small, small garden and I remain unconvinced for now.

The second was lovely. It’s a three year old new build with three floors, loads of space, a lovely secluded garden and a park 30 seconds away. However it’s in Old Catton and thus is more than double the distance out of the city we are now and thus leaves us conflicted due to Chloe’s non-driving status. It also had a slightly small master bedroom, despite the en-suite.

However we haven’t got our house on the market yet and don’t actually have any idea of our budget, we’re getting our house valued tomorrow (and again on Tuesday) and need to speak to our IFA to see what mortgage we could afford. Let’s see what happens shall we?

After a brief trip to the city for Chloe to have a job interview we got ourselves ready for Chloe’s friend Laura’s wedding reception which was great: chocolate fountain, cake, muffins, pizza, curry, chilli, a bouncy castle, lovely garden and gorgeous decorations:
