Just signed the contract.......

Brilliant Luckygirl! All the best to you for your move.

Congratulations Luckygirl, you've certainly got things sorted quickly! I'm still waiting to exchange.

Huge congratulations !!! You'll be on that balcony drinking coffee soon then :-)

Wow its all gone so fast. I'm sure it will all go well and you'll be very happy there. Where do you plan to put the Christmas tree?!

Congratulations Luckygirl, am I right in thinking that you don't have rush all the packing up?

Well done, Lucky. All the best for the move.

Good news, Lucky. I'm sure it will be fine and you can call in the grans if you need help.

N&G, it's Lona who will be on the balcony, Luckygirl is moving into a bungalow! It's all change round here isn't it. Aren't you thinking of moving too?

Thanks!

It is great having a date to work towards as it means we can plan our clearing out. SIL who is buying this is champing at the bit to get in and get it all sorted for his tenant!

He does not quite understand why there is a delay between exchange and completion - and to be honest neither do I!

Ooh very exciting/scary all at the same time! Hopefully the delay gives you the chance to start doing the sorting out etc that comes with a move. Good luck with it all, hope it's not too emotional for you both and all goes smoothly x

Oh good news LG! Finally things have started to shift. Hope the move goes smoothly. Always a stressful thing, moving house, but I'm sure you have made the right decision.

Blimey, that was quick! You've certainly picked a great time of year to be moving, so lucky it didn't drag on and on, as these things so often do.
All the very best for the big day Luckygirl, and I do hope you'll both be happy there.

Well done Lucky - I wish you a quick and easy move.

Sorry Lucky my brain read the wrong name... Unlikely you'll have a balcony on a bungalow :-) Congratulations anyway!!

We don't have a balcony but the back of the bungalow is ringed in decking - anyone an expert on caring for decking!?

That is great news having a moving date. July is a lot better than January- congratulations.

Congrats Lucky Get ready to stand and point! I colour coded the boxes (with A4 paper on top) and rooms so that the delivery men knew which room the box was meant to go into. It worked well. Unless you have someone packing for you, of course.

Congratulations Lucky lady. By the way, I'm one of those odd bods who happen to live in a bungalow with a balcony! ☺

Good luck*LG*. We are stil at the viewing stage so I envy you.

That is good news, good luck and lots of happiness in your new home.

Thanks for all your good wishes. We are hoping for completion next week but we will be living here in what will then be my DD and SIL's house till the following week when the removers are available. But we will be able to go in and out and clean, put up curtains etc. Clearing out here is quite a task!

Hope all goes smoothly for you, you will soon get it all as you want it ( and that's part of the fun.) Decking needs Ronseal or similar ( we had decking at our last house) and I used to do it with a roller ( it's easy) every other year.Good luck in your new home.?

All contracts now exchanged, a load of dosh has changed hands and completion just round the corner. Removers are coming to pack on 6th and 7th July and we are due in on 8th. We are getting there.

I feel completely worn out now. I am off for a short walk in the fresh air. We have 3 year old DGD for the day tomorrow so will put all thoughts of sorting, packing and moving out of our minds and take a day off from it all!

It seems funny to be squatters in what is now my DD's house!

Lovely to have everything signed - no backing out possible by anyone now. Thaat change of name certainly seems to have done the trick, Lukygirl!
