The Martin WooHoodStock Thread

[josiane]

I've just applied for a shared ownership place - lovely two bedroom flat just at the south edge of Oxford that I went to see earlier this evening. There's a long way to go in terms of satisfying the housing agency's eligibility test and of course also sorting out the mortgage, but fingers crossed! If it goes through I'd be purchasing 40% of it and paying rent on the other 60%, with the option to purchase further proportions of the total value in future, which makes it more affordable and means I get more space/better location for my money. I saw a place yesterday in Abingdon which was full price but much smaller and less nice and would mean lots of commuting.

Glad to hear MoB is okay! I also saw it on her FB account! It's horrible what happened there! Two people who I stayed with in the US while I was sick(uncle and aunt of Brentz) were also there! Luckily the wife was still running when it happened and the husband was near the finish line/where the bomb went off, but he didn't get injured either. He is also an ER doctor and immediately tried to help, but sadly enough one woman who he tried to help passed away. He did managed to help a few other people. It all sounded horrible!

Josi I hope you get the place! *crosses fingers*

[Jumble]

Sounds good Josi *crosses fingers too*

Of course, you realise that having more space means that you'll be having visitors staying over, don't you?

*waves to Jann*

Oh for sure! There would most definitely be room for a woohoomeet if it all goes through And if not this flat then I will be buying something at some point, just a case of when it all works out

Fingers crossed for Josi's new home.

Nice artie re-do Jumble

So tragic about Boston, amazing number of folks jumped right in to help others. That's what I love - when things are at their worst, the very best in people comes out.

I decided to redo the sig and avi to match the wp..............

Old






New

[Cagranosalis]

Oh love the new look. Very colourful (Jumbleised some might say. ) I like the fact you kept the square in the square but in a different way.

[Jumble]

Thanks Cags

I wanted to keep all the same elements as the wp - I think it worked

Very nicely done Jumble....your "artistic" gene is showing!

[Jumble]

Thanks Laurie I've been so uninspired lately, I thought I'd lost my artistic gene

I fear mine's gone walkabout these last few weeks One thing you can guarantee about muses/mojos/artistic genes, they sure do come and go as they please

Thanks for the finger-crossing and things for the flat everyone. Here's hoping!

Fingers crossed, Josi!
