J came back from New York today and met me and Toby in Blackheath. We all had lunch with Philippa and then visited the flat to do some measurements. It was good to see the flat again. There were parts that were smaller than J and I had remembered but our room was bigger. We're going to need to buy a few blinds since ours don't fit but I think that it'll all work out fine. The only rooms we're hoping to paint right now are Toby's room and the living room. The others can wait.
Afterwards we visited Toby's school. He was having such a good time that the teacher suggested J and I go get a coffee and come back in an hour. Tobes was more than happy with that plan. We've been a bit housebound lately so he was starving for some playtime with other children. While we were gone Tobes used the loo (yay!) and had a snack with the other kids. He did so well! When we went to pick him up he didn't want to leave.
It's such a huge relief to know that he'll be happy at the school. It definitely makes up for the cost, which was something we hadn't planned on. Preschool here is basically free from three years old except for certain 'private' schools. Unfortunately, all of the free schools were full or horrible so we're going to have to budget for this one but it looks like it'll work out well.
We also spoke to the estate agents and solicitors today. The solicitor is virtually useless so everyone is chasing her to get things done. It looks like we'll now exchange on Monday which will be great. I think everyone in the chain will give a huge sigh of relief when that happens.
So all good. J's back, the flat is great and Toby loves his school. Now we just have to move.
