Well just need to get this off my chest. I cant talk about in real life as I don't want to jinx it! We put our house on the market in the Summer as we saw a house that could be our forever home. I love our current house, my children have grown up here and it is spacious and has everything we need. We have lovely neighbours and work and school are a good distance away. But it has never been the home I want to grow old in, our final stop as it were. In the Summer we spotted a house we liked, had a viewing and loved it, some reservations but liked it enough to put ours on the market. Then in the Autumn it sold and we had not sold ours. However, I was not upset! I thought that I would be and saw this as a big clue it was not meant to be the one! Then we saw THE house. It is everything I wanted and more. It means a longer commute to work by 15 mins and is not in an area we thought it would be. But it is stunning, rural location with views, In a style I love and picture perfect, every feature I could ever want ( well no swimming pool) head over heels in love with it. Literally my dream house. Then.... we sold ours. Just found out our offer has been accepted on the dreamhouse.
I know that I need to remain calm. A long way to go yet. Anything can happen, we are not telling anyone in real life yet at least until we exchange. But I could burst and had to share somewhere!
I was beginning to lose faith that ours would sell as the market has been dead. We have had lots of viewings but no one who wanted it until now.
So much running through my head. I am over the moon, trying to remain calm and also feeling sentimental that this will be our last Christmas in the home our children grew up in. And how much I have to do!
Just needed to share
