After haggling back and forth all week we have finally agreed a price on the house we viewed on the weekend 
Hel is very excited and has already arranged the furniture and designed the garden in her head.

Did you ever post a link to it? Is it decrepit or turnkey ready.
No itâs not a dilapidated pile like the other one!
Weâre going to buy this and rent our current one we think, just weighing it up at the moment.
The photos are a bit cack as they donât show all the rooms and do not give a good account at all. When we went round I was very pleasantly surprised as I wasnât all that taken with it, but in the flesh itâs much nicer.

Private hotline to Rebecca might come in handy 
Hel has agreed/ offered that I can have the bigger front reception room to put the horns in
Also I thought Iâd end up getting rid of the second system but she mentioned we should keep that for in the conservatory into kitchen space.
Sheâs even talked about using the front patio area for putting the Ooni to serve pizzas at bake offs 
Hmm sheâs giving too much too easily, and I canât see her alterior motive yet⌠

A bit like that scene in the Simpsons where Homer goes in to buy a gun and is frustrated when the shopkeeper wonât hand it over till the waiting period is over - âBut Iâm angry nowâ, we are having to occupy ourselves ahead of taking possession of the new house by Hel redesigning the garden in her head and grand plans for a decent vegetable patch etc; me building up unrealistic/ false expectations of how good the stereo might sound in a bigger room etc.
We have also semi-seriously toyed with replacing the number with a name for the house. The approach being taken to dream up as many stupid names so that by elimination we might get closer to something we might like or chance upon it by accident.
Due to its position the words height, view, top, etc feature repeatedly.
Some of the dafter ones include -
- Wizard Heights
- River Glimpse
- Tingle Top
- Saturnâs Shame (more a paint colour)
- Moorhall Ruins (inspired by @Mrs_Maureen_OPinion)
- Severn Hole
- Saffron House
- Pony Mount
- Cuntâs Retreat
- Waltzer View (funfair nearby)
Obviously without restraint or limitations of offence Iâm sure you can dream up more appropriate ones
I grew up in a house that had a name instead of a number.
Massive pain in the arse. There are so many agencies that insist on your house having a number. And this was pre-internet, it would be even worse now having to filling in forms for billing and shipping addresses.
Anyway

Indeed. Mine is called Upper Ness, except when it very occasionally appears as The Ness. On some maps/postcode searches it becomes 2 Aithsness, which is a bit weird as there is no number 1 Aithsness.
To add a further complication, my nearest neighbours have renamed their property The Ness which can be slightly confusing, bearing in mind that every house on the island has the same postcode.
Itâs always a bit of a lottery when being asked security questions and they want to know the first line of your address.
We only have a name for the house. No problem at all - we can auto fill forms with street and postcode.
a) I see you have taken a stab at wit, and have wounded it severely. Just donât.
b) Guy is right - keep your number: names lead to confusion - in just 5 years, three different snotgargling stumphumpers in our postcode have renamed their dreary hovels Grange-something-or-other, ensuring that post and parcels are a lottery of randomisation, with valuable items not infrequently going astray as parcels carriers are both very lazy and very thick and just deliver to the first abode on their pick-list that carries the word âGrangeâ on it.

House names are the private plates of the real estate world.
if youâre going to do it, do it properly and name your house PEN15.

Our house was finished in 1990. It has a name, and never had a number. We have never had a problem from anyone, about the address.
