    Just had call to collect the keys, quicker than I ever expected :)

    I was just going to say that my son had his call at 0930, just as he was sitting down to a breakfast in IKEA, prior to shopping for household items. :)

    Well done, enjoy your new home!

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    Thanks all, well it's far earlier than we expected so we are giving the owner time to move out and won't even make an appearance until after midday, we are moving bits today and the remainder tomorrow, so by tomorrow evening drinks will be in the garden :)

    Thanks again and good luck to all of you who have started the process and to those who are in the final stages, you will get there in the end after all the wait :)
