Won't you be at work during school hours? Out before the school run in the morning, back home after the afternoon one.Originally posted by Pip in a Poke View PostOh shoot. I'm looking at a property tomorrow whose address is School Lane.
Yappy mums in 4x4s blocking the road twice a day and the cacophony from the school yard the rest of the time.
At least I'm a single female so nobody will look at me as though I'm a predatory paedophile
Better have a longer look on street view.
Maybe live somewhere where all the parents don't own 4x4s...
Place we're looking at has an outside loo, apparently still functional. I grew up in houses which had them, kind of fun.Originally posted by darmstadt View PostMust have an outside loo for visitors use...Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

We have a North facing garden. However, it is 20m long, so the first 3-4m of garden is indeed in shade all the time, but the rest of the garden basks in glorious sunshine (on sunny days, of course) all day long.Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostCan't stand north facing gardens. Cold, damp and horrible for almost the whole year.
The trees at the back of the garden ensure the back neighbour's south facing garden is in shade all day long

Another fruitless day of viewings.
Property no 1: the best on paper and it was was a nice location bit it absolutely stank to high heaven. Single lady with a lot of dogs. She was obviously feeding them that disgusting fish meal stuff because I nearly lost my breakfast on entering the property.
Didn't like the conservatory either; the roof wasn't glazed but had that horrible opaque corrugated plastic that's supposed to keep the heat out.
Property no 2: cancelled - next to a school.
Property no 3: backed on to a cemetary. Didn't clock that on Street View. Only Goths need apply!Last edited by Pip in a Poke; 7 January 2017, 21:35.Comment

Landing pads that aren't perfectly horizontal. How difficult is it to get a theodolite out and get the bloomin' thing correct?Comment

Looking through a neighbour's window and seeing this on their computer screen:
