  • Friday and boy I'm tired.

    DD walking to and from school today :)

    Revised forms for the sale of the house all signed, need to send them off today. Had an email from the EA to let us know that everything is now ready to go upstream and down, just need exchange of contracts which will happen next week then we can sort moving date :D

  • Blimey! Hope you've been collecting those banana boxes for packing.


    Last time we had to do that it was ... go to Morrisons, buy 4 pints of milk, walk out with 6 or 7 banana boxes ... rinse and repeat :D We could have BUILT a house with the blessed things!


    Great news though. I hope the new house is left spick and span for you!

    We've got money saved, so that the removals men do the packing and the shifting over to the new place.

    We only need to pack the personal and sentimental stuff, of which we have plenty of boxes :D
  • Phew ... one less thing to worry about, then! ;)

    All fantastic in the Purple household, congrats to dd for her Guides, mega congrats to hubby for his promotion and payrise and wow 31st March that will be here in a minute!

    I'm so pleased that all seems to be going well after such a stressful few weeks, what an exciting time.

  • Things change so rapidly, last conversation with the sellers EA was they're trying to get in touch with the top of the chain, they've said no to 31st March (boo!) but 6th April was mentioned by them right at the start, us three in the chain are in agreement with the 6th just need them to agree then we can go ahead.

    So now we've got three weekends to declutter more stuff.

    Bought some Oven Pride to blitz the oven, it does need it and can't have the buyers thinking we don't care.

    Things to do this weekend:
    Washing
    Ironing
    Kids to change their beds
    Clean the oven
    Clear DD's room of toys/junk
    DH to clear loft - dump runs
    Food inventory - try to menu plan with what we've got
    Declutter kitchen cupboards - dump/charity shop

    There's more to add to the list but above are the main ones.

    Finances wise everything is on hold temporarily now until we move. I can then sort out a proper budget then and a way to move forward.

    Right cuppa tea, shower and then on with the show! Have a great day everyone.
