Given notice on flat, new place fallen through

We live in Germany where tenants have to give 3 months notice before leaving a flat/house. We thought we had found a new place but it has turned out that it's in need of work due to damp and mould so it won't be available before March 2010.

To try and save money we handed our notice in at the beginning of November before getting official contracts for the new place which has now fallen through anyway. Theoretically we have to move out of here by the end of January. What would you do, risk it abit longer and try to find a new place quickly or take the notice back and ask to stay longer?

We want to avoid having more than 1 month double rent as every move is expensive. We've talked about it but dh can't say one way or the other which I would rather he did because I can't decide ...arghhhh!

I'd speak to my landlord, explain the situation and ask if you could stay til the march. You obviously like the new place or you wouldn't have prepped to move there.
