We've bought a house!

Wooot!

After an exhausting week house-hunting, we've bought the house we saw first last Sunday on our drive-about. It's wonderful, although it's the one I posted about that wasn't perfect, but in the perfect location.

The niggles I mentioned are 'not insurmountable' - so I'm going to be meeting with the builder this week to make the necessary changes.

Filled with dread about moving again, but hey, this time the bricks (or wood, I should say lol) belong to us ?

That's great news and as you say things can be done about storage and garden privacy can't they.

Big Congrats...you'll have to post some piccies so we can all be very jealous!

Thanks guys!

Now I've slept on it I'm quite excited!

The house will be finished in May or June, but we don't really want to move until mid July as we have visitors all throughout June. I suppose I could get them to work packing boxes ??

Very exciting!

I don't want to see pictures because I'll probably only be jealous at how much house you can get for your money down where you are ?

Congratulations!

?

Is it in the same are you are in, or is it elsewhere?

We are going to look at a house near the Woodlands next weekend..needs some work as its *storm damaged* but its insanely cheap, and we have no urgent need to move so can afford some time to work on it.

Sounds great Ethel .. Mr P is up in the Woodlands today playing golf. Networking, don'tcha know! I love it up there, but it's too far for work.

The house is in the same area, just 8 minutes from here. I'll have to remember though to add an extra 10 minutes for travelling when I'm going anywhere!

Ah thanks guys! It's finally sinking in that we're here for the foreseeable. A dream come true for Mr P. One of the first questions he asked me in our early dating days was 'would you move to America with me if my job took me there?' No need to ask what my answer was ?
