What a week

The last week has been a case of ups, downs and almost rock bottom. Last week we went to look at a bungalow in Melton. We were very taken with it and put in straight away to be considered for the tennency. There are very few small bungalows which come up for rent, so we spent the week wondering if we would be lucky.

We had high winds and a lot of rain, laundry had to be mostly dried inside although I did get the towels almost dry on Monday. A short blast in the dryer and they were done. On Wedesday DB phoned the agents, he was told there was to be a meeting and we were top of the list for the bungalow. Thursday morning the news came through we were offered the tenancy subject to passing the financial tests. I had to pay over a small sum to 'hold the property'.

Friday lunch time the financial company contacted us with a form they wanted filled in and also some documentary evidence. We needed the tenancy agreement, could we find it....no they also wanted an up to date rent statement which we only get every three months. I had to call in a favour and get the documents copied. We went in and collected them and called at the agents, they will send them in for us. I just have to complete the form and sign it. Then we have to wait for the results. It looks like we may move towards the end of next month.

Needless to say I am exhausted.........fingers crossed.....it goes through ok. Another lousy nights sleep, its becoming a habit.
