The crazy world of others

It's funny, when you are walking around someone else's house, what thoughts are going through your mind. Now you would think that the initial thoughts would be; do I want to live here? (esp when you're trying to decide whether to buy the place or not) what's the neighbourhood like? Can I fit all my things inside? However let me tell you dear reader, these were not the real thoughts idly filling my mind this weekend.

I was wondering if the space (or distinct lack of it) would squash me. I have been feeling squashed since I began living in my current ground floor flat, and this has lasted nearly two years, and I'm ready to feel that freedom of childhood again *sigh* this is unlikely to happen, mainly because my childhood home, although yes, it is still there inhabited by my parents is about 4 times the size of anything I will be able to afford.

The beginning of our search seemed fruitful, there was so much possibilty but I am slowly (note to self - in light of this realisation being over no more than 3 days, this cannot really be called slow, not in the life time sense anyway) coming to the understanding that if I want that ever so elusive foot on the property ladder, it's going to be on a ladder up the side of a postage stamp.

The First Post

My first post, I feel that I should have something terribly important to say, but it's all more like just making sure there's always a piece of me in the world. You know, in case anything goes wrong. It's just after 3 in the afternoon and as it's a Sunday I've really not done a lot with my day other than decide that I would have to write this, my first blog today. No more putting things off (I'm a great one for putting things off - I always put things off until tomorrow, and sooner or later it becomes too late).

I wouldn't expect too much excitement here, I don't do a lot that all that exciting, except what goes on in my head, now there's where life becomes exciting. Woop de do.

That's enough for now I think. I'm sure I'll think of something far more worthwhile to say later, or maybe it'll be tomorrow?
