We have lived in our current home for nearly 15 years now. I absolutely love my home, but about five years ago we had new neighbours moved in next door. At first they seemed okay, but as the months have gone on they seem to have started trying to compete with everything we do. It doesn’t matter what we attempt to do, they always have to have a go at doing the same, but they always have to better what we have done.

Take last year for instance, we had to have new double glazing fitted to windows on the front of our house. They had to go one better and have the whole house double glazed!

My husband bought a new car recently, and although it was new to him, it wasn’t totally brand new. What do they plough ahead and do, buy a brand new car. I say more fool them though because everybody knows that as soon as you drive out of a garage forecourt in a new car, the car devalues just like that.

I have a feeling that I might just get the upper hand over them this year. On the back of their house they have this really old conservatory that to be totally honest doesn’t fit in at all with the surrey conservatories theme.

I am going to go bigger and better and play them at their own game. At the moment I am carrying out a spot of research into the best conservatory for the style of our home.

I am the same as many other people who decide to start their search using the internet. So far I have researched Victorian Conservatories Surrey as well as Edwardian Conservatories Surrey. Some of the results have been superb and I am now pretty confident that whichever style I decide to get, it is going to look so much better than next door’s pile of glass.

Having said all that though I can imagine they are the sort to knock down their conservatory and get the builders in to quote for a brand new extension!!
