baby you're a rich man....

yippeeee! Ding dong the house is gone! After months of waiting, surveys, solicitors letters and paperwork, the house is finally nothing to do with us! Everything exchanged on Friday and a nice fat cheque was received on Saturday :) It really does feel like a huge relief!
The week has been spent ferrying back and forth between the old house and my mums (m@) trying to get all the last bits sorted and moved. Everything was sold in the end and the house looked pretty good when we left it.... certainly better than the day we first got there... we both just looked at each other and said 'What have we done!'

We nipped to Auntie Saggy's on Friday to see little Beth and check that Jet was doing OK... and of course she was... sleeping away on the sofa and acting like she owned the place! Beth was soooo cute too!

Mum and Al have gone on hol to Crete for a week so we chilled out with a bottle of wine and some nice food... and of course the football.

And then on Saturday, we headed into Crewe to pay our cheque in and look for flights.... how crap are travel agents! It was seriously a case of 'computer says no...' rubbish!

So, we headed home, got on t'interweb (well, Trace did, Germany were playing Sweden you see 2-0... the Germans look scary... I digress...), and booked everything ourselves (flights and insurance). Got a smart price and we are now all set for heading out on August 5th!

Today is Sunday and England are playing Equador in the second round of the World Cup... it's a match we should win, but we haven't looked pariculalrly convincing so far... so who knows... Anyhoo, we have aranged a BBQ for the match so i'd best go and wake the Bulk so we can go shopping for the bits we need.... COME ON ENGLAND!
