Flat out

Welcome to the House of Hoff! Or not as the case may be.....

This will be an online diary of my search for the ideal living space and with any luck, will move on to also be a log of home improvements, decoration, bargain buys as well as a bit of my weird life thrown in for good measure.

I have been lusting after various houses, with the idea that I would have a gorgeously quirky little place of my own with a cute back garden. I have visited many houses- some of which fit the bill perfectly and others that quite frankly make the average student accommodation look appealing.

I have, however come to realise that with every will in the world, I cannot afford a house on my own. I am gutted. I am desperate for a garden- it's ridiculous, but I am. My reasons for wanting a garden are ludicrous and I have now come to decide that I would prefer the extra money each month that I will save, than to have the occasional garden party/ BBQ.

I would like to point out here that I have never BBQ'd before and I am terrified of lawnmowers- so the fire risk outweighs the overgrown garden parties I'm afraid.

So now the search for a flat/ apartment/ coach house begins. I am after a bargain. A big, fat, juicy bargain. I have compromised hugely on giving up my garden, so I am not stopping until I find the perfect flat at an astonishingly low price.

Wish me luck, this may take some time.......

I'll give you £100,000 for it...
