Tuesday

It's a bit hard to keep track of what happens when you haven't made notes along the way. I meant to but that didn't happen.

The day was long ... I remember that much at least because we had made the offer on the property and I was at work while Sooz, M and Fl went along for another look. They were there at 10 with the agent - and luckily both M and Fl could make it because both had other appointments this morning/afternoon. While they were there, Fl managed to strike up a conversation with one of the neighbours to find out more about the surroundings including that in the 10 years St has lived in the street, the area has not flooded (that was one of my concerns), it is a very quiet street, and there are no midges.

It wasn't until late this afternoon that we received word that the seller has accepted our offer. Now we start the process - finding a solicitor (thanks Sh - aka Superman - boy from next door at work - for the recommendation) and all the other things that need doing. Very exciting though!
