New Home


After a loooooong wait, we are finally in our new home! 
It took us so long to find a house we both liked and the pressure was on when our flat sold before we had found somewhere. 
After going through the legal process of buying the house, we were incredibly frustrated when it fell through on the day of exchange and after many furious phone calls, found out that there was no way of reviving the deal.
Within a week of this happening, we were so lucky to find an even better, bigger house and so didn't waste a minute and offered a price to the estate agent during the appointment! 
After three months of going through all the legal paperwork again and a few minor glitches here and there, we finally moved in on Wednesday!
Wednesday was a really manic day, with ensuring that we were ready on time, the removal men emptying the flat (who knew I was such a hoarder!) and the off loading the other end, it was so nice to sit back on Wednesday evening and feel pleased with all we've achieved and look forward to the settling in process.
This morning I have woken up in our new home and feel content to just relax and enjoy it!

Moving House

I have been looking to upgrade to a 3 bedroom house since March of this year and am still trawling through Rightmove daily to look for new houses, as though it's part of my daily ritual!
The pressure is now on as after 4 weeks of being on the market, we have sold our 2 bedroomed masionette. 
We have looked around so many properties but have still not found 'the one', those we think are close to being it, need so much work doing, that we're not prepared to do. (We're both useless with D.I.Y!) 
If I think about it, we must have viewed over 30 houses and today I've booked for us to view another 4!
 I really hope today's the day....I can't face another few weeks of looking.
