We found the house we want to buy today.. in Madbury.. It's totally 70's, the people who live there chain smoke, and have made the walls a dirty gray. The carpet is totally outdated, probably original. It needs a total makeover, but it has square footage, an in law apartment, and plenty of room.. So, now we have to think, and think and think.. and of course sell our house.. I'm really excited about the prospect of living in Madbury, as the schools are really good..not to mention I'd be a lot closer to my sister.. and her new twins on the way!!! I'm also a bit nervous of having to do so much work.. but the price is right, and that is basically what it comes down to..
We have had two showings here in the past two days.. haven't heard back on either of them yet.. but maybe we'll get into a bidding war.. (yea right!) But at least people are interested.. and damn, my house is clean!!

that's great! Sure it may need some work but you are a fabulous decorator so I'm sure you'll have it looking fab in no time.

Where in Madbury? We're on Hayes Road across from Mohariment Drive.

It's on Fitch Rd.. we actually looked at one on Mohariment, and loved it, but it's covered in black mold.. we're still looking.. but who knows, we might be neighbors someday!
