Space...

I love my flat...but, it is just not big enough. Well, it is when I am dusting and hoovering, plenty big enough then, but when it comes to hanging my pictures, having friends round for dinner, family to stay the night or planning a bbq on a sunny day, it is just too damn small.

I like the idea of getting a ruin, something that I can do up, decorate, renovate and turn into my own. I seem to be drawn to the property ladder programmes, looking for tips, ideas about design and space. It all sounds very exciting and I am ready to do it, just need to find that ruin!

Is there an age whereby you should have a house rather than a flat? I feel like I am getting to that age...I want nice things, I like buying house stuff, I look at the property section of the paper, I talk about houses with my friends, I read about where the bets place is to buy...sad isn't it.

All those things I used to scoff at when I was younger, take no interest in whatsoever, now seem to be in the forefront of my mind; house, home, commitment.
