Sold!

What an exciting weekend! On Saturday we had some new viewers for our house. They walked around and barely made any comments but within 10 minutes of them leaving they had made an offer, we accepted and as they have nowhere to sell they want to be in asap! Fortunately the house we have wanted for ages was still for sale and there is no chain above them either! I am so thrilled! The house we are buying is much older than this house, about 1900 and only a couple of miles away at Lee on the Solent. It's also about 2 minutes walk from the sea which will be lovely. I'm too excited and restless to write any more.......

  1. Ooh, sounds lovely...an old house near the sea.That is my dream - to live near the sea, or at least have a view.
    I grew up in South Africa, the sea was always part of my life, and I feel there is something missing without it nearby.
    all the best

  2. I must have missed something, I didn't know you were thinking of moving. The house you are wanting sounds lovely and great news that you have sold yours. x

  8. Havent checked my blog for ages as I am not on the bloomin internet yet after 5 weeks! Be warned - so glad to hear your good news - we freecycled 4 directors chairs - pity you live so far away! Cant post pix yet as can only have a quick read of others blogs at work - in fact not sure where the camera is!. Advice -get rid this side of the move rather than when you get there - I tried hard before but had to let go of so much when we got there. Mind oyu I dont think you are downsizing are you are you?? Good luck with solicitors!
