Holy Cow

Went to look at a flat to rent on Saturday. It's in a beautiful location, has four bedrooms, but is pretty dire. We were walking back to the car which we'd parked in a really lovely street, happened to see a For Sale sign on a place and decided to get the details.... just out of interest.

48 hours later and we've made an offer on the place, which has been accepted!! So much for renting. It's a sweet little three-bed flat. We would eventually want to replace the kitchen and bathroom, but just because it isn't to our taste. We could easily live there in the meantime. It's a short walk to Toby's school and the village and the street it's on is just beautiful.

The only issue is the moving dates. The couple who own the flat are expecting their first baby in September and would rather wait and move in October. We, on the other hand, would like to move as soon as possible. Preferably by mid-August. If we can sort out the dates then it should all go ahead. We just don't want to hurt the sale of our house by delaying. We should know by the end of the day what's going to happen.
