About time! It's the best of both worlds for all of you.

Sounds like a great solution. Exciting! Hope you find the perfect home to buy soon. I’m jealous of everyone moving! I keep looking and there’s nothing I’d prefer in my budget coming up at all!4

Too excited to sleep 🙄 plus have been zonked on the sofa since posting earlier 😴
Tried to phone vm after work as contract is still wrong. Have made a formal complaint but getting nowhere 😕 Have sent yet another WhatsApp.Took the dog to the vet as she has lost a whisker & has a tiny bald patch on her face. Vet had a look doesn’t seem to be ringworm & we have some stuff to dab on. That’s a laugh can’t get near her as soon as she sees the cotton wool pad coming towards her. 😆 No fee as pet monthly plan DS pays apparently renewed before Christmas with 1 free vet consult a year. Just paid for potion £11.Refund onto debit card from mat Alan £16. More than actually paid on card (£30 on gift card & £12.50 on debit card) but will not be complaining when the alternative was back on the gift card!Portion of stew from freezer for dinner. Friends tortoises are now ensconced in my shed 🐢🐢😁 and a couple of boxes of fragile bits into utility room. They move on Saturday and she looks exhausted. Hopefully will not be as stressful for me if DS & gf do manage to buy this place.0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

The cream stuff probably smells funky to PD.
Shouldn't be anywhere near as stressful for you as you'll have time to slowly move out, it makes a huge difference having a month or two overlap.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.2 -

When you're properly looking, get on good terms with a few EAs who have properties you liked and they'll start to match you with upcoming ones before they hit the market.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.3

It’s a mild day, have walked the dog. Slow cooker is on, I am making curried parsnip soup for lunch.Later on I will dig out the survey I had done on the house when we bought it. Hopefully it will save DS & gf some money and they may be able to just get a property valuation survey.0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗
