The Raggedy House

So.  Six weeks ago (ish), we bought our first house.  'Citing times..and somewhat challenging it would appear!

We thought we'd been pretty savvy in our approach.  We spent about 6 months researching all aspects of buying a house, finding solicitors, surveyors etc.  After two failed attempts, we finally found our house.  A lovely little terrace, perfect for our first place and (so we thought) not too much work to be done.

Unfortunately, we let ourselves be sweet talked out of certain aspects of the purchase such as electrical and plumbing checks.  Oops.  NEVER let yourself be talked out of these things if you're really determined to do them.  We did, and we're slowly dealing with the consequences.  
Which leads us to here.  This is our attempt to find some kind of cathartic release for the stress and frustrations.  So try to keep up, I'm sure there will be plenty more surprises yet!
