    Great news; lucky for your OH that you are organized ;)

    Sounds like you'll be in ahead of the worst weather so hope all goes to plan and you are in, unpacked and thoroughly warmed through before the damp cold November weather hits.

  • Hi guys,

    It all went swimmingly, thanks to your good wishes, no doubt. I am feeling much calmer now.

    Poor MrOP was shattered after shifting his gear from his bachelor pad up to his mother's. He said he was a little sad to leave the flat but he was also excited at the prospect of us being together (cue the soppy music) :rotfl:

    The cottage purchase is going well. I know the seller will feel a bit emotional about leaving it but I think he knows the house will be loved and cared for.

    It's so nice to know people call by to say they are rooting for you.

    Cheers.

  • So glad it all went through OK - anxious times completion days aren't they!

    Nice also to see a buyer who clearly has some thought and consideration for their seller also.....so many folk these days don't seem to give a *wotsit*, and will happily rip a seller off for every last penny. I always said I could never gazump OR gazunder someone like people are now - it would simply play too much on my conscience!
