House prices all over the UK have gone up by at least 12% in the last year. We'll just keep looking. :0)♥ Liz ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/09630911154794103327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659897330333310312.post-17792868734257743352021-06-26T11:30:33.313+01:002021-06-26T11:30:33.313+01:00Numbers are still going up and we have a few staff...Numbers are still going up and we have a few staff off again after, either testing positive or being in contact with some one who is. It feels like January all over again. I'm glad your daughter found her perfect home.♥ Liz ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/09630911154794103327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659897330333310312.post-68500308147203082592021-06-21T12:08:10.828+01:002021-06-21T12:08:10.828+01:00Oh I can only imagine how awful your hayfever/alle...Oh I can only imagine how awful your hayfever/allergies are that you need extra tablets of the extra strength medication. The pollen count this side of the pond is VERY high this year, & while those of us that don't suffer with the affects, have enjoy the blossoms on all the trees & shrubs, there's some, like Mr Man who avoid like the COVID plague. The housing market is insane in our region, the lockdown restrictions are driving the city condo dwellers out into the countryside & will pay any price for some space. I'm raising my tea mug to a happy week ... and not feeling like Billy No Mates.Patio Postcardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491809927236242223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659897330333310312.post-48741442221061283202021-06-21T08:29:34.985+01:002021-06-21T08:29:34.985+01:00Sorry to hear that the numbers in your area are ri...Sorry to hear that the numbers in your area are rising again. Sometimes it feels like we are going one step forward and two steps back.<br />Sitting outside in coats next to heaters is definitely a British thing! Pleased that you got to go out for a (chilly) meal though.<br />The house situation is similar around here, our son and daughter in law have struggled to find anything that is the right size at the right price. Keep looking, it's out there somewhere! My daughter found her house through Facebook. They narrowed down the area that they wanted to move to then she put a post on the local page asking if anyone was about to put their house on the market with details of what they were looking for and six people came forward! It was a win, win situation as the owners didn't have to pay estate agents fees as it was a private sale and R got to view properties that weren't yet on the market. debs14https://www.blogger.com/profile/14521565769251816528noreply@blogger.com
