*drum roll please*
WE HAVE EXCHANGED CONTRACTS! Well, underneath us anyway. That means that we’ve staved off bankruptcy and managed to commit our buyer to actually buying (which seems like a minor miracle as is).
All we have to do now is exchange contracts above us so we have a home to move to on the 9th July. However, we have been assured that everyone up the chain is happy and ready to exchange, it’s just that a couple of solicitors at the top of the chain buggered off home early today. Oh well, half way there.
I know it’s a cliche saying that I feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders, but I fully understand the root of the phrase. I really do feel like I’m standing another inch taller at the moment; it is going to happen, we are going to move. Of course, there’s a whole new set of issues now like organising the removal men, sorting out mail redirection, etc., but all that can wait until tomorrow.
Tonight I am drinking Archers, heating up a birds eye roast beef dinner, scoffing the last remaining cornettos and watching the Angel Season 4 Finale on Sky. Okay, that may not sound that exciting to you, but to me it’s a small slice of heaven.

I’ll be blunt and say:
Thank fuck for that :)

Thank goodness! And don’t demolish those Cornettos – they are best devoured elegantly.
I’m really glad for you all. Hope everything goes smoothly and without anxiety from now!

I’m with Brinx – but only because we’ll now get to hear great tales of The Big Move…

Great news, full steam ahead to eat all those cornettos etc that you don’t really need to transport!

Phew!
We can all stop holding our breath now.
Go pack your bits…..I never bother to unpack mine as I seem to always be on the move just lately.
It looks like we will move again in August/September.

Packing? PACKING?!
Nah… pay someone else to do that :oD
You can’t quite finish holding your breath – we still haven’t exchanged up the chain yet so we haven’t got anywhere new to live…
