YIPPIE - Weve done it at last

At last, its over. We have seen some really crappy houses, I dont know how these estate agents can even have the balls to put some of them on the market, and try for full asking price. We have seen one really run down place that needed about 20K's of work doing on it, one that had a garage with an asbestos roof that would have cost a fortune to remove, and then we finally saw a small property this morning that is very much like our current home, but with potential to extend. The asking price was only 160K so well within our budget, we bid 155K, and had to go to 156K to secure the property. At last the frustration and disappointment is over. now we can start planning our move and the new extension over the garage and around the back and front of the house. sounds a massive job, but it wont be really. Ive done this sort of extension work before and the hardest part is getting the planning permission. now at least I can relax and start packing for a move end of June time.
