the waiting game

So our house is open for viewing as of Thursday, really hoping someone makes an offer quick smart. I think I would be pretty heartbroken to lose the house we made an offer on, even though I know there are more fish in the sea and all that. As its nearing the end of May, if someone did make an offer, and we accepted we likely wouldn't close until July - which would still give us time to settle in before school starts again. So I am ever hopeful. Its been an uphill struggle getting this house ready to sell, what with gas leaks, whole new gas pipes, roof leaks, new roof, endless painting, packing and storing - I'm ready for a holiday! Just that hope though that this time next week we could have an offer or 2 to consider, is very exciting. I would love for the children to get to enjoy the huge gardens and space before the cooler months set back in. And I of course would love to relax before the school run takes over!
