Thanks for all the well wishes. I'm of a mind to drop the people I was going to buy from a 'change of address' note when I move into my new house and they're still in theirs
But "revenge is mine, sayeth the Lord" so I'll leave it to Him.
I've been to look at a really quirky place this afternoon. Walking distance to work, old school house (part of) and a lovely little courtyard garden, opposite a suitable dog walking park. Only problem, no garage.
Now then, structually, I am going to have to knock out a window and put in double doors so that I can run my bike up the drive and straight into what is currently a bedroom but will become a utility/garage. Can already picture my bike sitting in there. Nice centrally heated Ducati only bed room - I'm amazing myself with my own positivity!
