Well done on your ebay sales. I wish I still had things to sell!
I hope your searches are coming back positive - or at least with things that are reasonable to resolve.

I guess another good thing about selling things is that you don't need to box them up and bring them to the new place!
I hope you find out the exchange date soonOld Mortgage: [STRIKE]2009:£78500 2010:£76951.71 2011:£74414.49 2012:£71961.35 2013:£67813.54 2014:£64375.16 Current: £55,480.27[/STRIKE]

We waited to buy most of our stuff until we bought a house. Makes it really exciting to buy stuff for a new place.Old Mortgage: [STRIKE]2009:£78500 2010:£76951.71 2011:£74414.49 2012:£71961.35 2013:£67813.54 2014:£64375.16 Current: £55,480.27[/STRIKE]
