It started with a minion.........

.....and so it was that despicable me (2) started our journey.


Last Sunday we were on our way out to the family showing of said film, when a car pulls up outside and an oldish chap and youngish woman step out and start walking towards next door. Me thinks, aye aye house viewing, and so a chain of events unfolds which starts making our adventure into reality!

For some reason (unknown to me still) I decided to what can only be described as rather 'yobishy' yelled "don't look at their place it's shit, ours is much nicer and cheaper!"  Now this was last Sunday.  Monday morning after much tidying and a bit paint touching up we had the first viewing. They then returned that evening and the next day a deal was struck. So it's now Friday, the solicitors are instructed and a moving set for the end of jan!

So provided this all goes according to plan, in less than 12 weeks we will be in rented accommodation, have relatively full bank account and be ready to push forward with our epic ( in your minds) adventure.

I've learnt 2 lessons this week;

No. 1. Having an idea is one thing but turning into reality sure is hard work. The chances are you might fail, feel bouts of nausea  and think wtf am I doing but I'd rather feel all those things then think what if

No.2. Don't leave bread out on the work top............it doesn't agree with a huskies internal workings.
2a don't show potential buyers around your house after bread has been consumed by said husky
2b especially don't allow potential buyers around the rear garden entrance without checking for doggit bombs first...........need I say more lol :)

Kath and I have sold houses  5 times before but for some reason we're both particular anxious,stressed-and  excited about this  one, can't imagine why...........
