Morning Di, morning all
A fitful sleep last night, thanks to a blocked nose - two hours asleep, one hour awake - so am on an essential medicinal second cup of tea
Another grey day here, so am waiting in for Mr Tesco to deliver yet more food - think I have definitely over-ordered!
No mystery re the texts, Laura, was just missing my Brum 5 ladies

Hope you get to fit in a nice nap today Susie.
Nothing worse than a horrible nights sleep. To true triage makes you feel like you've got a hangover without the fun part.

Thanks all, must admit I am getting mightily sick of blocked sinuses - but I tried the GP's recommended cortisone steroid spray yesterday and it has made it much worse
Feeling a bit deflated today, TBH. Probably lack of sleep, and yucky grey weather always makes me feel a bit blah - but also just because I am really unsure of what to do about where to live. My lovely gay foot doctor was here last weekend and put the fear of god in me when I told him I was thinking of just renting somewhere nice and not worrying about buying - which he said was a mad idea because then I'd end up an old lady on a council estate. He's right of course, and the thought of being without somewhere of my own when I'm older just fills me with terror.
But when I went back on rightmove again this morning (I swear I'm addicted to it) to look at houses in London, I am rapidly becoming priced out even of the areas I don't like
So now I don't know what to do, and am just sitting here feeling vaguely sick about the future...except for the next five minutes, in which I shall have a plate of eggs and sossies

Would you want to stay in London once you retire? You could move to a better area and buy into a retirement property when the time comes especially if you've managed to save some capital in the meantime. You wouldn't have to end up on a grotty estate. Don't be despondent about it x

Thanks hun, appreciate your kind words - but I'm such a home bod I really want my own place now.
That was why I thought about St Leonards - space for a good price, but the pay back is the commute

FOOD PORN ALERT************
Just inhaled some custard and apple strudel with a big dollop of creme fraiche....I wish I could say it was awful, but... Comfort eating at its finest.
Now I need a nap...

Oh Hun.......stop right there!!!! No more strudel!!! Start really seriously looking at your options.....and seek out a completely independent financial/mortgage advisor!! What about rent to buy or shared ownership to build your equity?? x

Evening all
Think you're right Sandra, must just be the day for feeling a little down - but just woke from a little nana nap and feel a lot better. Watching Shrek helps too - very funny - Eddie Murphy talking about eating some bad berries and having some weird gas coming out set me off guffawing
Alpy - Orbs was curled up with me, asleep under the covers - so cute! Orby looked quite sweet too LOL.
And thanks Jo, shared ownership may well be the only sensible answer. I could always sell it as/when I ever finish work and buy something down the coast then There's a really nice block nearly finished in Sydenham, with a garden for the ruler of my household. Will report back - but thanks for putting it in perspective

Thanks all - sorry for the blues, I'm feeling much more chipper today
Had a very funny start to the day, woke to hear this weird sort of croaking...which was Orbit "serenading" the birds in the hope that they will magically fall out of the buddleia at her feet. All I say is, she'll never have a career as a mimic LOL. She's up a tree right now, but hasn't realised that the birds always see her coming and set up their early warning system hehe
Thanks for the Manchester suggestion Brendle - a good one - if I didn't love my job so much I'm so lucky to work in a place that's full of music and dance, free concerts, interesting projects - and as it (hopefully) will be a long term thing, that keeps me in London, or close to it. Anyway, my magic foot doctor is on the case and emailed me lots of links to properties last night - so one way or another, I'll finally find the right place and be able to unpack my new bedside tables
I'm off to make brekkie.

Oh Susie... It all sounds so unsettling... It's no fun without a solid base and roots.... You've had so many set backs over the last few years - house-hunting-wise and job-wise! Bless you!
I hope foot doctor comes up trumps... As everyone says it is so much cheaper up north - but it's the commute that is so expensive and tiring ...
Why is life at times so difficult !? Love you and sending lots of hugs xxx

Thanks hun! I liked the excitement of it all for a while - but now just want to settle somewhere
I'm a true Cancerian, we love our homes So, getting my own place is all I've thought about for years. Losing three houses in a row is a bit unusual for anyone I guess lol - but it will happen, I will just have to compromise re area.
Another fairly lazy day here today - going to clean up a bit, then make a zucchini lasagne, a quiche and might have a stab at sweet potato and broad bean soup - not sure if the two are natural soup partners, but will give it a go.
