As I mentioned, it was just what was needed at a very stressful time in our lives - yep, nothing like the stress, worry, uncertainty caused by moving house. First step obviously to sell our place; this has now happened and was actually quite quick (one month from listing the house to an exchange of contracts - can't complain about that). And on the same day that we had an acceptable offer on our house, we had also put an offer on another house; the next day after a bit of back and forth we had our offer accepted on the new house - luck and good fortune meaning we had found a wonderful (huge - 218m2 of living) house to buy (that we could move straight into from here), rather than having to rent and hope something suitable came along in the lease period!
How exciting. Only, while we have exchanged on our house, we haven't on the new one due to waiting on the finance company's valuation... so we are, in a manner of speaking, homeless, having sold our place and not officially exchanged on the new one - with the risk of losing it to another couple who are very keen on buying it... we have everything crossed that the valuation happens quickly so we can gain some certainty with regard to our move (which is due to occur in less than FOUR WEEKS! as we will rent the new one for the week before settlement on our current house)...
Throw in the fact that EVERYBODY has been sick: Dad having had four days off work; Carter on his third round of anti-biotics; and Linc with a fever that lasted days and didn't respond to panadol - and it's just been an absolute barrel of laughs...
