I may be blanking out trauma, but I swear that this house search is the most hassle-filled one we've ever done. I don't remember searching for houses being this difficult before, even in Amsterdam where there were people competing with each other to win the landlord's favour.

The house I was so excited about getting to view, doesn't have a shower. Now, it may seem a small thing, but my hair is so thick that I can't wash it without a shower. And a thingie bolted on to mixer taps just won't cut the mustard. So, no viewing there, despite the all-new carpeting that the agent was so excited about.

The end of terrace (query: semi) that Dave was going to view this afternoon has been taken this morning.

The smallish 3-bed in Emerson's Green that popped up yesterday has had an offer made, which may fall through as the agent reckons that one of the couple has rotten credit rating. We'll see. He promised to call me if it becomes open.

The 3-bed in Little Stoke isn't available for viewing as the letting agents are trying to persuade the landlord to redecorate. I've noticed that landlords don't give a damn about decoration.

*pants*

I've managed to get Dave an appointment to view a house in Westbury-on-Trym. It's £25 over our budget, but at this point, I don't give a fuck. It'd better have a bloody shower. There's absolutely no information about it on the website, which is unhelpful. I hadn't really considered living on that side of Bristol, but on the plus side, its near C&V, Dave's brother, and also my favourite restaurant in the city.

I may need to buy a sacrificial goat.

No shower...? My god. I've seen it the other way around, but...no shower? Baths are nice and relaxing, but if you want to feel clean....

I've got my fingers crossed for your house hunt.

I couldn't live without a shower either. Without a bathtub--no problem, but a shower is a must.

I hope you have better luck soon.

God, I hate moving and to look for a new place under pressure is the pits.

Hope your luck changes for the better soon.

Yes, no shower. I was quite amazed too. I've only lived in one place with a good shower since moving out from my parents and that was our last house. The lack of water pressure in our current house is quite stunning.

Dave should be viewing the house just now.... Thanks for the finger-crossing!

Yes, I could live without a bathtub. I can't remember the last time I used one, aside from when I cleaned the oven shelves....

Thanks, K!

Thanks, Rhi! I really hope so too....

You're blanking me out!?!?!?
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!

Keep at it, Ang. Just means the right house hasn't come along yet. It will - got my fingers and toes crossed! :)

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

You silly girl! Of course I'm not blanking you out--although it has been a while since we spoke....

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

It had better, otherwise we will be living with Dave's parents. Which will be odd....

I've got a sacrificial lurcher you can have...?

[silentinflames.livejournal.com]

No shower? No way! I'm sorry you are having such trouble.

I can offer a sacrificial midge. It's been annoying me for hours.

Will send along good-luck vibes for the househunt... your luck must change soon!

Absolutely... a house without a shower is not acceptable.

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure lurchers have quite the same cachet with the gods, but they'll probably appreciate the thought....

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

The house Dave viewed this afternoon didn't have a shower either :(

Hope you managed to swat the midge....

Thanks, Keli! We've got six weeks, so surely something must turn up....
