SOLD !!!

This is the favourite photo I have on my phone at the moment:-
And what a huge sigh of relief it is!!!  On the market for around 6 weeks, some say - oh that's not long.   But it is when you have to have everything neat and tidy, beds made, no dishes in sink, cat litter tray out of sight, cat food in plastic bag also out of sight, etc. etc.

Its not normal living like that for too long.   And its amazing how we have just slipped back into normality since that sold sign went up, even though we said we would try to keep living sort of tidier from now on.

For those who don't know what our current house is like where we have lived for 32 years, here's some pics.    They were taken by the agent and in some cases the colours are a bit wierd, but they are what they are, enjoy!!

Our Back Yard

Family room

This driveway is one of the reasons we are moving!!

The Master

Lounge/Dining - my loungesuite is not bright red!!
Outdoor entertaining
The Desk on the left is my desk

Now you know why I love my new  kitchen & pantry
Settlement isn't till January, which is a bit longer than we wanted, but it does allow time if that build drags its heels any longer than expected, and we can move in somewhat more leisurely.

Now I can start getting reallly excited about the new house.  :)

Congratulations - absolutely, totally ecstatic for you.....what a relief, pressure off, phew!

Your just housesitting now whilst peering thru the windows of your beautiful new home, new neighbours, new life and oh so flat driveway.

Bet you can't wait for Handover now.

So which house are you going to spend Christmas in? The old one, the new one, or ?

Great relief, you should be done prior to Christmas (just as well as the industry shuts down), with the rush of the Mad season you will probably have just enough time to move out before settlement.

Great news, so happy for you.

Ahhhhhhhhh... breathe out now J :)

Good to hear you've relaxed again now that the pressure of inspections is over.

No more hurdles in place - next stop = Charlbury. Woohoooo

Congratulations. That is fantastic news and such a relief. You are not going to know yourself in your new kitchen and pantry however I am sure this one has served you very well over the years :-)
