    :j some things going better. Estate agents called to say letter OKing us as tenants has come back, she's just waiting to hear back from referencing with tenancy forms and to find out when the landlady can get the items removed we don't want, then we're all clear to go :j :j :j looks like we're moving.

    Edit they're doing it over the weekend so we sign new tenancy as of Monday :D oh no that means I need to start packing!!!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Just wanted to add a HUGE thank you for all your support and fingers crossed, they certainly have paid off!

    I didn't post a piccy before now incase I jinxed myself, house from back, trampoline is huge but the massive garden (there is more behind camera, there is a kids play house and shed behind the camera so still lots more garden) makes it look tiny.

    Oh and the rather weird red kitchen, it's growing on me, slowly

    :j

    2 unforuntantes is my new cooker (will just be stored as one built in) and FF (will be able to use) will have to go in the garage, but sure I will cope. The sacrifice you make for a dishwasher and jacuzzi bath!

  • Excellent news lil_me, really pleased for you and your family. :j :j

    House looks lovely and the garden too!
    ...it is not of more importance than daily life, which I have an enduring wish to make as useful and beautiful as possible.
