I've been looking through various letting agency websites, and I've found a whole load of houses I'm interested in. I'll be paying more than I am here, but quite frankly that doesn't bother me. I'm going to be getting a nice payrise and I'm expecting some expenses to dramatically reduce (think... petrol to Shropshire!).

I'm looking in Warrington. I've decided that getting a temp short term let in Manchester until they company move isn't worthwhile - for 2 reasons. Firstly, I don't know exactly when the move will happen. Secondly, moving house is a hassle enough, I don't want to live somewhere that's going to feel temporary for up to 4 months.

My favourite option so far is a house in Callands. It's a decent price 1 bed house with off-street parking on the north side of Warrington, only 5 mins from the M6/M62, Google maps claims it's 18 miles from DM's current office and 7 miles (or so) from their new offices, which seems like a decent compromise to me. If push comes to shove and I get it and hate it, it'll almost certainly only be a 6 month standard short term assured tenancy agreement.

Obviously this _all_ depends on lots of stuff. I'll be arranging lots of visits for this Saturday/Sunday and possibly Monday, and with any luck I'll have signed the dotted line by Monday afternoon, and will have the keys in my hands by the 8th/9th April.

See, my plans are there. I just have to make them happen.
