    Bought the new fridge freezer we had been lusting after at the weekend - £650!

    Oh well, the credit card was clear before then - and I can pay it off when it comes.

    We have had the forms from the solicitor to sell the house, I have to sort out certified copies of things today to post back with them.

    And we are off to Birmingham at the start of October to look at the new campervans!

    Fancy a Hymer Duomobile, just under 7 metres, and ticks all of the boxes - none about second hand yet though, because they were only released in July this year.

    The youngest did one year of a degree - changed courses, is about to hit year three of this one - and is considering another four years at vet school.

    I THINK that our best plan would be to sell this house, buy her one near uni and rent out the other rooms, and travel in our campervan.

    But I still have her sister and brother to move out - which don't seem to be making any move in that direction.

    We spent a lot of this weekend talking about getting this house done - there is a LOT of stuff we would want to address before we sold it! Oh well, nice problems to have.

    I'm just hoping the sale doesn't fall through, I know a lot do.

    For completion I thought I would confirm the house sold, so, mortgage free. Yaaay!

    Not sure where we go from here, but worrying about what to do with money rather than not having any is a lovely problem.
