I was having dinner with my mum and brother Thursday night as she was over from France on business, the meal was ok but the staff were brill, problem was my gran at the time was on her last legs and during the meal we got the call telling us she had passed away. It had been coming for a while, she had been fighting lung cancer, about 3 years now. She moved/was placed in to a hospice a few months ago now and I think she just finally gave up and i don't blame her. I think the older generation realise when they go in to one that they know they aren't going to be coming out so stop fighting and I am guessing this is what happened to my gran in the end and she was a fighter. So I will be going to the funeral which is in Wednesday, which to me is very quick but hey, I looked at getting a flight but the prices and flight times are so ridiculous that I will be driving up instead. I will be sharing the driving with my brother so that isn't to bad but it is 8 hours on the road :(
I had a good weekend not to busy but enough not to get bored, looked around a few houses and having another look at one tonight, fingers crossed the gf likes it, I know the area it is in is not ideal but its what you make of it.

I'm sorry to hear about your Gran.
Love and condolences to you and your family. x
So sorry to hear about you having lost your Gran. x
I hope the house hunting went well and the your g/f liked the house. Is it in the same town? Only you say the area is not ideal, and being a nosey bitch, my brain is trying to work out which bit it is!!!
Thanks to you both
Ali it was top end near Hill Road.
IT ~ It's not that bad up there nowadays. Was a time when it was one of the roughest areas. I know quite a few people from there, none of them have any trouble.
I would pass your house everyday on the way to work if you were there too!!!
I had a look at one over the weekend and i liked the place but the gf said "It doesn't feel homely" WTF????
Yeah I remeber when it used to be a bad place but since most people now own their houses up there they look after them more and the bad has moved out. As you can see the gf is picky
I'm a firm believer that the building is just a house. The HOME is what you make out of the building.
You could have the nicest house in the town, but it may still not be the nicest home.
A home is created by the love within it.
Hope you find something soon.
