This is our 'old new house' - we used to live there, now we rent it out as 2 flats but we hope to move back in a couple of years and make it our long term family home. We love it, we love the street it's on the space inside and I miss living there.

This week it's been nothing but stress though - downstairs' boiler blew up and required two engineers visits, I had to compensate the tenants as well for 4 days without heat or hot water, then upstairs had a plumbing issue requiring Dyno-Rod, then they reported a problem with their washing machine (Dyno-Rod had unplugged it!) and then at 8pm yesterday we had a call to say that two glazed panels had blown out of the porch requiring emergency glaziers who charged ?209 to board up and make safe. Here's to a better rest of 2009 for No.5 and it's owner and occupiers!

"The plumber was digging around in the pipes & he saw something shine in the muck & it turned out to be the soul of the last tenant. He gave it to me & I said I wonder how we can return it & he shrugged & said he found stuff like that all the time. You'd be amazed what people lose, he said."
