House buying, why not to do it.

I have to admit to being a slight control freak. If there is a day out booked I need to know who is going what time and where (to be honest there is normally a lot more that I need to know, but for the purpose of keeping this under five thousand words I’ll leave it at that). So selling a house and buying one has really been a challenge.

Ok so I know who, but where and when are far from certain. At any point our dream house could fall through and I could be left having to start the mundane and slightly disheartening process of looking for a new one. Not only do I have to like it but so dose Lee and it has to be in budget and it has to be near a good school and the list goes on and on. Lets face it we were lucky to find our dream house once but twice could really be pushing it.

Then you have the uncertainty of when that day is going to eventually arrive. When you can load up the van and drive off into the sunset to your new wonderful home, where of course you and your family’s life will be all hearts and flowers for ever more. The worst part of this is it is all in the hands of your solicitor some one who dose not give one jot about your dream home, however much you stress the importance to them, and just wants to be payed.

For a slight control freak like myself, this is all too much to bear. As much as I am looking forward to moving I still can’t believe it is really going to happen, and I don’t think I will until I am in my new front room watching some burly men unloading all our belongings. Roll on that day. xxx
