    Our three-bed in Cardiff was £145k, but that was with a lot of work to do including damp proofing. Most three beds in this bit of Cardiff are around 160k to 190k. It's nearer the centre so a bit more affordable. Some areas for a family size home you can be looking at £400k-£500k.

    Michelle I had the flu jab this year because of the pregnancy. I was surprised how quick it was, I was only in the room for a couple of minutes total, including questions about how many weeks I was and if I had any allergies. The only side effect I had was if I leant against something on that side it felt like I had a bruise there.

    Morning,

    The wind was horrendous last night. I genuinely lay in bed and the thought the house was gonna take off!! Woke up this morning dreading seeing the state of the back garden but nothing has moved. Just hope it hasn't caused too much disruption else where

    Only at work until 12.30 today. LO has his hearing aid assessment at 4 so put half a day in.

    I wish it was Friday already

    Morning all

    Hope LO gets on ok at his hearing aid assessment Emma

    The only thing that had moved on our back garden was the patio set cover had blown off and it's ripped the strings off to hold in place

    Not got much on today. Did lots yesterday. Got general cleaning and tidying to do

    Can't bring myself to get up this morning it's so dark it's like its the middle of the night still!! Must get up and go roaming to some of my locations as my meeting has been cancelled so now don't have any plans. I like store managers to know when / if I'll be arriving out of courtesy but I need to do some visits and I can't waste a full day

    At the moment we have sunshine, not sure what else is in store for us though. The wind last night did not seem bad here, think we must have been on the edge of it.

    Sounds like we got off lightly here then, but once we are indoors and the windows are shut, we hear nothing, in our old house we would have been sat there worrying it was about to crumble around us.

    I read all the books before seeing the first film and was a bit disappointed to be honest, the internal dialogue in the books makes a huge difference I feel.

    Hope you manage to find the motivation Flossie to do the work, hate it when that happens. I am already worrying about next week as I finish my nights Monday morning and back to work on a long day (0730-2100) on Tuesday. I struggle the next day as it is. I want to stay up until 10pm as it is Walking Dead night, but do I sleep loads in the day and then risk not being able to sleep at night, or do I not sleep much and risk either being asleep by 7pm or what sometimes happens get overtired and become alert.
