new beginnings...

we;; its a time for out with the odl and in with the new. We still haven't exchanged but things are all set for exchanging on Tues and completing on Wed (so fingers crossed all the way). After a couple of days of swearing about the buyers and their slack solicitor, we finally got some movement,although their cheque isn't cleared until Tues hence the delay. all of which meant that our money had to be paid via CHAPS at additional cost which is really annoying as we have been ready to pay it for weeks and been asking how to get it done. Given that it is coming from 3 accounts that has meant 3 charges which we didn't need to incur (plus a bit of stress when i couldn't find my bank card!) but I guess its s drop in the ocean of moving charges.

So we've been packing, wrapping, clearing and laughing at the utter crap we have accumulated over the years.

I will be sad leaving this house as it has been a great place to live, but I am really excited about the next step in life and can't wait to set up a home that is ours, and start the next chapter.
