Bought Myself A House

Weeks without a house or permanent address: 5

Months between my offer and the sale completion date: 5

Houses in the chain: 8 (of which 1 was a new-build, 1 had a trust, and 1 had a gift from somebody's rich uncle for their deposit, which HSBC thought was money-laundering)

Ikea trips: 3

Crying meltdowns: 2

New Houses: 1

It mostly needs painting (wood chip and green floral wallpaper, anyone?) and some other minor things, along with a complete rewiring (scheduled for next week, because while a 1948 house is super-cool, 1948 wiring is NOT).

I LOVE IT AND I AM INSANELY EXCITED TO MOVE IN.
