Signed documents, but not exchanged contracts, as one party in the chain being difficult. So can't book the removal company. Done tentatively, but not confirmed completion date yet. Now got to wait until Monday. Hoping to get some sleep before then.
When my parents moved from a detached house to a smaller detached bungalow with much smaller garden it seemed ideal. They didn't go far but then the bus route changed and no longer ran past but the new stop was a walk away on a badly maintained pavement and the handy corner shop closed.
Hope you are now asleep @rowlandscastle444 and getting some well deserved rest. Off to my bed now, always hopeful that I get more than my usual two hours.
Well, I woke up at 2, puppy slept till 5.30! Typical. We also went for a detached bungalow, got sick of inconsiderate neighbours, outskirts of a village. We are only detached by the width of the 2 side paths,my Ideal would have been the middle of nowhere, but budget constraints. Ironically,we had to reduce our last house considerably because of the state of the houses each side. We also opted for a decent size plot, completely unoverlooked. HOWEVER, the bungalows each side, have messy gardens(am being polite here!) no basic maintenance has been done since we have lived here,(12 years) not window cleaning... nothing. They aren't old or decrepit, drive brand new cars,lots of holidays.
Was woken by my mobile phone ringing just after midnight. My sister plus OH were in the area visiting MIL, who was close to death. She decided not to take up our offer of staying, but we're going to drive the couple of hours home instead, and return later.
Still, they may come today, despite our house being in a pickle. Boxes everywhere! Not enough beds since we got rid of the second spare, but I can sleep between boxes in the lounge. After all, what are family for?!
