Had to do my first assignment for the first year 3 module. So … there’s two quite expensive LED thermometer thingies in a field, that i’m hoping don’t get swiped but the local louts.

dream house
3 weeks ago
I did own a house once, 3 years off owning it outright – then divorce happened!
I have a VERY distinct idea of what i’d like to buy. A small 2/3 bed Victorian terrace, fireplaces, south facing garden. I’ve even planned the colour schemes and decor of the living, dining, kitchen, bathroom, main bedroom and designs for the garden (arbours etc). I LITERALLY dream about it!!
Trouble is … single (crap) income, the government have done away with the scheme that helped you buy ANY house with a low cost Gov loan scheme. Spent the last year trying to save £3.5K to get on the scheme only to find that they’d allocated all monies and then scrapped it altogether. The only thing available now are brand new flat builds – shitty, shitty workmanship and overpriced! Why I have to commit myself to £140K on a piss poor 1 bed brand new flat, when i could get a 100yr old character full family home with a garden for much less is beyond me!
So… trying to think of some way round this
find at least one thing each day that makes me happy and record it everyday for a year (read all 30 entries…)
too long

Okay so i failed in the mission of recording it every day but since my last entry i can honestly say that i have been happier than i’ve ever been in my life.
How strange how things turn out… bumped into someone i’ve known since i was 10, hit it off and have been seeing them for the last year. Bonus: they actually match my ideal man (extensive) list, re which, my mother said ‘so if you met this perfect man, what makes you think they’d like you’ – he does!
Still have major issues with some of the other things on my list – but it helps when you have someone to share these with. Still determined to be independantly financially secure though, no matter who i’m with.
