Surveyors & moving men

My buyers' surveyor has been - did a quick mortgage valuation, didn't finish his tea, and amazed me by  using a proper tape measure not a gadget.

Lovely Rogers Removals who moved me here 22 years ago, just quoted to move me out again.  And Milly, they've much improved the insurance arrangements since then..

7 Graham Road, Windlesham - available to move in!

You're allowed to be bored by now.  This blog is helping me keep all my thoughts/links in one place, not that I achieve that with the greatest of accuracy.

Curses.  More cover teaching calls.

Can't win them all..

.. no interview for me, alas.

Removals men coming to quote on Friday as well as my buyers' surveyor.

Michael sent me this .. maybe a little far outside Camberley, but beautiful?

Windlesham, cont'd

I'm still keen on this one - spacious, family-friendly & affordable, but it's in a nasty chain.  So we might just look at not so pretty - but still in Windlesham.

Meanwhile, work is hell, and it's hard to believe I'll be leaving there in a month.  Multiple staff absences, imminent exam season, potential Ofsted visit..

Hopefully, an interview in Windsor next Tues for job in Education & Training for the council.  Less money, who knows...  maybe less stress??

Surveyor booked in for my place this Friday.

Tiger has taken to howling at the moon.

Spacious of Windlesham

.. plenty of walking paths, near the school, it's at the very end of a cul de sac, with a short short cut to the village with essential shops & PO.  Sufficiently within budget that we'd be able to shop at Waitrose in Sunningdale, and I could relax and enjoy a 4 day week [assuming someone will kindly give me a job].  If they won't, I could take over the recently closed Dr's/physiotherapy premises in Windlesham and go broke running a yoga centre [not really].

Here's the link - Windlesham again?

Must have seen 4? 5? others.  We'd all blown a gasket by the very end...  Tiny access roads, building sites on main roads, very friendly owners who won't leave you alone to look.. and (yet) another overpriced waterside dream.  Well, waterside dreams are out for now, unless they are (a) finished &; (b) a total bargain.  Give me space and comfort.

Finished & uploaded job app last night..

3 properties tomorrow..

Lovely waterfront, Wraysbury

Sensibly priced but floodable, Wraysbury

The builders haven't finished yet, Windlesham

Time for an application form & dinner.

A break

Still at one remove in the New Forest, which is a wonderful, welcome thing.

Someone else has put an offer in on the fantasy Edwardian pile, so perhaps that step-too-far has been taken out of our hands, and perhaps no bad thing, sad as I am to see it go.  It would have worked with a family of elves to do all the hard work*, of which there was a lifetime's worth.

Meanwhile the reasonably priced waterside property is far more vulnerable to flooding, but we'll have a look all the same.  Time for me to do more inland research and locate a bit of Berkshire with a sense of community that isn't on a motorway, nor next to a theme park or a race course.  We'll get there.

Today, job app to finish and Guildford to get to without flattening the Sat Nav battery.

* which in my case I have not got, to paraphrase Henry Reed, here he is if you have the time..

How about?

A lot less space, but a lot less money, decorating and heating, still on the water at Wraysbury?

A little strategic googling found a potential job in Ed & Training for Windsor Council, a pay cut, and the job app has to be in by the end of Friday, but I've spoken to someone there who said I had a chance..

Nice afternoon being marched around the New Forest by a very happy child.
