The perfect house??

Had a family run out this afternoon to our favourite valley, all going as normal ie ds1, "Im going to be sick" I open door, ds1 throws up all over me and the car door.. dd2 wakes in dirty mood with worse nappy.. no nappies in change bag, so just the normal routine really!
Round a corner and see a For Sale sign, had a quick look in, meet the guy, (divorce situation) stay all afternoon and fall in love! This place is FANTASTIC, everything we have ever dreamed of and more..
We are 9 years into the restoration of our house, and its been very hard at times. Not sure we can do it again, not with a family anyway. I thought we would retire in this house, now im not sure..
Dont expect any answers, just trying to work it out...

Not to be, outbid by a large amount. We have been given the option to up our bid, but in so doing would use up the cash for the work needed.. plus we are against southern cash buyers

Made the huge mistake of telling the kids we may be moving...

Not looking forward to tonight..

Also Mrs A noted that if we could afford to move, and dont, we could afford a new car... Today is crap.

No news yet, ours was the first (and only so far)one so I guess we could have a little wait.
