Good News!!!

Well it looks like we may have a buyer for Bruce's place already. We had plans to do a letter box drop... and a web page... and now none of that is necessary!

A couple came to look at the outside of the house yesterday while Bruce was at work and told our neighbour they would be back this morning. Just before 9am they were here and within 10 minutes they had made an offer!

After a bit of talking... negotiating... we are prepared to accept an offer that is just $5K under what Bruce had hoped to get for the place.

The scary part is the time line. Today is the 19th and the guy would ideally like to move in on 30th... that's when he will have the money and when he has to move. That's also just 11 days away!!! Even though we've already been packing/cleaning there still so much to do!

What a head spin this is. We haven't even officially accepted the offer yet and we are making lists of address changes... things to do... people to ring...

We both also need to get some time off next week so we can pack/move/clean... (Bruce is on the phone now doing that)

There's a whole shed full of camping gear and a lifetime of "stuff" to go through. We also have 3 fish tanks to be relocated. One of our guppies just had babies a few weeks ago and they are so small it's going to be fun finding them all to make the move!

Anyway... I'm off to make the list bigger... and then go and pack some boxes!!!!!

The news is good but it's daunting at the same time.
