On playing the waiting game....

We're at that stage in the flat-buying game now where nothing much is happening, After the last couple of frantic weeks, things have gone quiet now. Have filled in all the relevant paperwork (for the moment), got our mortgage agreed (in principal) and appointed a solicitor. So now we're just waiting on the loan people to get back to us. Spend time with little sis, baby niece and other female members of my family on Saturday afternoon and last night with boyfriend's family, so have shown everyone the details of the flat now. Everyone oohh-ed and aahh-ed a bit. The latest (in a long line) of concerns I had was that the boyfriend and I were going to end up homeless because the lease on our current flat runs out in two months time. We have to give two months notice if we want to leave (ie. our notice would have to be handed in the day after tomorrow), but we have no idea when we are likely to be moving. However, the lovely ladies in the letting agency have agreed to renew our contract on a month-to-month basis, so we can leave when we want, which is a big relief. We're hoping to be in the flat by sometime in July. We're keen to get moved in time for the beginning of the summer holidays and in time for boyfriend's birthday (July 26th), so that we can organise a join birthday/moving-in party in our lovely new garden. Also, we're off on holiday on Aug 20th and it's my 30th on August 29th, so we really want everything to be completed sorted and want to be settled in by then. But who knows when we're likely to move? Nothing's definite yet and I don't like it...
