Another day, another post - must be something in the water! Ella isn't keen on sleeping in her moses basket at the moment but she's passed out on my knee so I'll try to type round her.
As well as dealing with a newborn (and her errant brother) we're trying to sell our flat at the moment and find a bigger place. We were hoping to have moved by the time Ella arrived, but the market was so slow over the summer that we haven't had much interest on our flat. We've just switched agents (feel like I've done a deal with the devil!) so if anyone wants a delightful two-bed flat for the bargainous (for Muswell Hill) price of £225,000 please take it!
Because we haven't had many viewings so far I'd sort of forgotten about the other half of the deal - that we have to find somewhere to move to. We looked at some places over the summer and pretty much settled on Catford - affordable 3-bed houses, good commute - but since the prices have dropped we can afford to look in a couple of other areas too - Plumstead/Thamesmead, Edmonton, there's even a flat in East Finchley. It feels a bit like starting all over again - I don't think I've been to Plumstead or Edmonton before, so we need to do a recce and decide whether they feel right.
The main problem is fitting viewings in with the kids. When we looked previously we 'offloaded' Logan on grandparents, but that's not an option with a little one. Unfortunately some estate agents aren't insured to travel with babies (crazy!) so we may be spending the foreseeable future tramping round between houses. At least we'll get to know the area...
