So I exchanged contracts on the house today. That means I’m legally obliged to go through with the purchase, and she’s legally obliged to sell. Only trouble is, she wants to complete in seven weeks. Seven weeks! Normally it’s four. On the flat it was two.

Hmmm.

Well, I’ll cut her some slack. She’s lived there since she was four, so that’s 62 years, so I’m guessing that there’s probably some stuff in the loft she needs to sort through. And besides, I’m in no hurry. I’m very comfortable where I am and I have no need to move out quickly.

It does mean, of course, that my completion will happen almost simultaneously with becoming an uncle, so I’m guessing that April is going to be a very busy month indeed.

In the meantime, there’s bathrooms to fit, furniture to pick, washing machines to buy, trees to trim, gardens to plan… I suspect those seven weeks will fairly fly by.
