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.
Before, during and after photos to follow.
