    So glad that the house sale is now complete - it will take a few days to relax after months of background tension plus the underlying sadness of the loss of your sister and bil whose home it was.  

  • Congrats on the completion. Did Mr LH get his car? Does that mean you have to wait until the estate is finalised to get your new windows?

    Sorry I forgot to answer Sarahwithlove. There is still enough money to do the windows. All I have to do is get Mr LH to clear his junk room so they can get to the window because at the moment there is no chance.

    Glad Mr LH is happy with his car.  Hope you get to put your feet up and relax for the next few days.
