This was taken on Saturday (14th). Its so exciting, especially as we had wonderful news last week after a viewing - an offer has been made and accepted on our home, so its full steam ahead!!!! Best part, is that its a man in his 50's who is wanting to rent it out, has no mortgage to find, everything is sorted, so its just down to solicitors and surveyors. No chain, hopefully, no worries!!! And I shouldn't think that a man of his age, who had to bring his wife around that same evening as making the offer, would suddenly pull out, as he seemed to be someone with his head very much screwed on in the right way.

We have now chosen the carpets for the house, the wooden flooring for the dining room, and the ceramic flooring for the kitchen and utility. We have also arranged and purchased light fittings for the entire downstairs that the builders are going to be fitting on our behalf also, which will save a lot of time, so we are now finally hopeful that this really is going to come to fruition.

Going inside it today to have a look at how they are getting on!!!! Can't wait! May be an update after this afternoon, quicker than the usual ones :D

How fast!!!

The roof trusses are up!!!

This is the view of our new home, but with the exterior bricks, roof tiles, and exterior gates for the driveway to be added! Hopefully, the brickwork will start next week as long as its not too cold that is, with this big freeze due to be upon us. Apparently, if its too cold, then they don't lay bricks - just hope that isn't the case next week!

Its getting so exciting now, I just wish they'd exchange contracts with us, so I can get unreservedly excited about it rather than having to hold back, just in case.

On the up side, we have a second viewing for our house tomorrow - keeping everything crossed that this time an offer is made, and it goes through to completion.
