This weekend I finally accepted an offer on my house in Leicester. Yay! It's not been on the market for too long, when you consider that we've had the Christmas period, when moving house is the furthest thing from most people's minds. Still, it's gone to the solicitors to sort out now, and I'm hopeful that it will all go through smoothly, unlike a false start that I got into right at the end of last year.

This means that I can now start looking seriously at where I want to move to, and I've decided that the part of Stirchley which borders on Bournville is the way to go. Apart from having a few nice victorian streets with some relatively inexpensive houses still, it's also right on the train line, meaning with a four minute trip to University and only slightly longer to the City Centre. The trains are still cheaper than the buses round here too.

I know a few people who live round there already too, which is helpful, and they've all recommended it. I'm now off to look at quite a few houses this week!
