nursedarryGads, you all know how much I (don't) love the town of Swindon- I attend so many meetings there I don't know why I still consider myself employed by Oxfordshire at this rate- LOL!
BUT, after doing some searching on line, it looks as though it may be one of the places we consider buying a house. They're a lot cheaper than anywhere in Oxon, which is soooo £££ and I'd really like a four-bedroom house, even though Doug insists we only need three.
Also, one of the schools I'm considering sending my kids to is closer to Swindon than here, although it's still on this side of the border. Not that I don't want my kids educated in Wiltshire but I'd have to drive by it on the way into Oxford anyway and I really liked it when I was visiting for the imms clinics we held.
My commute would be a bit longer, but not by that much as there's a big A Road between Swindon and Oxford. Doug said a lot of guys he works with here at Benson live in Swindon (although it's a lot closer to RAF Brize Norton), but still not too far from here.
Now all we have to do is find a 25% down payment and we're smiling. Yessssss... Watch this space. Anything has to be better that this place.
Even Swindon.
