    What grinds my gears is when someone decides to loudly evacuate their innards in the cubicle next to you. I know, they’re perfectly entitled to, but it just makes me a bit icky.

    You can also end up in some weird game of judging what stage of the subsequent clean-up operation they’re at, so as to avoid the dreaded “out and wash hands together” scenario.

    Spoke to Estate Agent – apparently this was attached to another property once upon a time, hence why legals are taking so long.

    Decent chat, doesn’t seem any reason for it to fall through. 😥

    would it have been rubbish if only £1bn had been spent

    Yes. The pool would have been some 1970’s Lilo in Weston Super Mare and the main stadium would have been made by Blue Peter and Gok Wan.

    is a small amount to the country..

    Not that small. However, I think yes because at last, there was something for kids to aspire to and the older to feel proud of.

    It was a fantastic Olympics and all those touched by it, “games makers”, torch bearers, those that lined the streets to watch the torch bearers, those that watched in complete amazement on “Super Saturday”, can only be affected positively by it, which benefits society in a way that no half-baked but well intended “scheme” could.

    will your current or future life partner have the same values?

    She’s a beautiful, wonderful, sweet, elegant, fricking nightmare…she just thinks my aims to buy a house are just an attempt to avoid children. So as a result, she’ll get what she’s offered!

    {Edit: Despite the point of creating a nice nest is to bring up children in!]

    This is not an investment, it is a home I want to bring up mini-dribbles in.

    My plans would be to turn it into a 3 bed, and a garden to be enjoyed. From my eyes, I think this would make a nice area, house and garden.

    I am not a builder, I have no friends that are, and I work in IT FFS, but I am useful with the old fingers (phnarr) and committed to getting a nice nest…this plot appeals more than anything else I’ve seen before, and means I don’t have to switch work-offices.

    I will learn what I can from YouTube and hard graft, but do not want to be in a situation where I run out of money or mortgage repayment-abily where is affects the missus or future family – hence £160k is a realistic budgie.

    Thanks Crankboy, I agree with your analysis, which is why I’m hoping that something is going wrong and I can sneak in with an effectively cash offer after a year of trying to sell.

    There is something about the plot that appeals to me, I do not want a heartless and dull property, this one seems different and I can imagine a nice house stood there, with ivy crawling up it etc etc…

    Pudsey is hit ‘n’ miss I agree, but I live in a “nice area” and last year someone walked into my house, stole the keys to a nearly new focus and torched it within 4 hours!

    Christ…so in essence, It’s a half decent plot for £125k?

    Why on earth is it £125k then?

    It needs knocking down and starting again. You need 100K plus to make that right.

    Really? Are you in any way qualified to make that statement?!! If so, thanks and I’ll walk away now.

    speaking to the planning department at least. You should be able to see if any applications have been put in

    I never thought of that (how stupid do I feel?) – Cheers.

    Would suggest watching some grand designs…..

    I did love a bit of GD, but became too full of affluent types converting chimney stacks into unique living spaces – but get the point.

    I will contact Planning tomorrow, and see if any light is shed.

    Seems a shame to knock down IMO, but then I have s/h experience of overly-tanned developers knocking down really beautiful homes to make way for heartless cr**.

    Massive words there as without it’s an overpriced hovel that will require a large amount of work and money

    I know, which is why I feel like such a bloody novice in all of this, but I cannot see any objection to planning being upheld….it may have to go through an appeal or two, but elevation wouldn’t spoil anything for anyone.

    Ignore the other offer , decide what its worth to you.

    True, but that pends estimates on extending and raising to a 3 bed and don’t want to muck people about until I’ve got an ‘in’ on the property.

    Would £35k roughly cover extending it upwwards one floor and marginally outwards? To the point of plastering needed.

    It is expensive, but masses of potential to go up and sidewards subject to planning.

    When I called last time, saying I was a no-chain etc, there was minimal arousal – so planning on calling again, but wondered whether there was some magic phrase or tactic I was missing – TBH £125k is too much, but I don’t know how much the offer was….

    Had one for a week, while getting used to it so I could tell Dad how to use it.

    For £238 (plus £50 cashback at the time) it was ruddy brilliant – beautiful screen etc.

    A LITTLE jerky, but I thought a great bit of kit for the money.

    I’m with PlusNet and find them pigeon-racing great VFM, but I’m not a heavy user.

    How does one load “apps” onto these phones.

    You will need a google email address for an Android phone. You never need use it though.

    Apps are though Google Play, which is an online store. You select from there and they automtically download onto handset memory, or SD card. It’s all very very easy.

    When you’re home, if set up, it’ll automatically hook up to your broadband to save on data allowance.

    Oddly I don’t get any despite having a number of CC’s (for their various different benefits – Santander CC with 3% petrol cashback is a belter if you get though a fair amount of fuel).
