Day 362 of 365: Searchin....

Went up to Andover tonight with Ian to check out a place to live that Lucy suggested to us (she knows the owner).

After we went and checked the place out (which we really liked it, but it needs a lot of work) we went to the pub and had a meal.

Good times...good times. :)

We'll see if the place in Andover works out!

Day 235 of 365: Shop Shop Shopity Shop

Went through the Argos catalog last night and today to pick out things for when Ian and I get our own place.

Then we decided what we ABSOLUTELY needed, and went to the Argos Extra Shop to pick up half of the things on our list.

Good times. Good times....

Day 234 of 365: Me Likey

Ian and I went into Eastleigh today to check out estate agents, since we're back to square one looking for a place.

We had an appointment though to check out a small house/cottage in a place just outside of Winchester.

This little place we fell in love with, so we're now going through the process to have it as ours (well, we'll be renting, but it'll be ours..lol).

Keep your fingers crossed and watch this space! :)

Day 232 of 365: Crazy...

So, above is a picture of the picture of the flat/building we have been hoping to get as our first place together.

Welll....tonight we met the landlady, and let me tell you....she's one sandwich short of a picnic.

Poor woman, she's old, blind, and a bit loony. She was telling Ian and I a story about how this woman comes banging on the door every day asking to come into the flat because she has no place to stay, and that the flat is really hers, etc. Plus, the landlady asked what time Ian and I get up in the morning and what time we work until, and even what time we go to sleep!

So either she was telling the truth about the nutty woman knocking on the door, or she's nutty herself (which I believe as well). After thinking about things on the drive home, we decided to pass.

Back to the search once again...

Day 230 of 365: Our House???

Ian and I went to IKEA tonight to start pricing and picking out things for when we get our own place.

Believe it or not, I SOOOOOO have been looking forward to doing this. Not just because we'll finally be getting our own place, but because I've always visioned Ian and I shopping for furniture together. It's what a marriage makes! lol

Thursday night we will be meeting our potential landlady to this giant flat we looked at near Winchester. Hope all goes well!

Day 227 of 365: Up and At 'Em

Soooo....I'm feeling a little bit better today.

And since I had spent all day yesterday in bed, I thought today I needed to get out of it, but slowly.

Ian and I went into Winchester today to check out real estate agents. We looked in the windows and looked for places we want to look at since we're FINALLY looking for our own place.

Not our place....just a photo taken to 1) show what we did today and 2) help us remember to look up this place online to set up a viewing

Our goal is to be out by the end of the month. Woot! Hopefully it happens.

We have a viewing for one right around the corner from where I work on Monday. We drove to it today, and Ian checked it out from outside, but it looks like it MAY be a bit too small for us. Buuutt.....we're going to look anyways. Woo hoo!
