Well three months down the line; countless lost hours on daft.ie; many new grey hairs later and our search is finally at an end - tonight the 3 House-keteers move into a bee-yute-tee-ful 3 bedroom house in Inchicore.
Thank flip.
The house in Tyrconnell Park has just be renovated and has tasteful decor, brand new appliances and old-world 1940's charm. It's perfect. From the yellow roses over the door to the skylights in the kitchen I couldn't have designed a nicer house.
It will be a bit of a squeeze--these houses have little in the way of storage space and the bedrooms are compact but the girls and I are determined to make it work.
It's also further out of town than we had hoped for but with several buses serving the area and the Blackhorse luas stop nearby we should be alright.
The main thing is: I'm moving into a pretty house with friends. I haven't been this excited since the days of the Fairy Princess Castle in Drogheda with my old teaching buddies. Living with friends is like being permanently on holiday: always cooking and making tea for each other, cracking open a few beers after everyone's had a hard day at work, planning parties and movie nights, and, of course, the pillow fights in our underwear.....
(Husky tones: that fantasy moment is dedicated to all my male and lesbian readers out there...)
In all likelihood I'll be ready to strangle one or other of the ladies in a matter of days for using the last of my milk or leaving masses of hair in the shower..........but for now I'm basking in the bliss of optimism and beautiful possibility.
Hope Cottage is now open for business.

Sweet Baby Jesus came through for us in the end :-)
Pretty house + friends = bliss. This is all the math I need to know!
I'm a wee biteen sad leaving my oh-so-convenient home in the city centre, yet am really looking forward to this perma-holiday! M&M have agreed a cooking & cleaning rota: she cooks, I clean. Yipee!
Ms Bones, for a touch of 'Fairy Princess Castle' I suggest that we add fairy lights to the second sitting room... I have a big bag of them :-)
Actually, just occurred to me, where will we be putting our Christmas tree??
Mitzy
It's flippin' June girl hould your horses!
Have lots of fairy lights also--including nice star shaped ones left over after the Cabaret night.
I like the sound of this rota--with one M cooking and the other cleaning I suppose I'll be required to sit on the couch sipping wine...?
Sweet.
