UK House "Properly" Sold
Well the house is properly sold now - contracts have been exchanged. Until this point yesterday our buyer could have pulled out of the sale. The system in the UK for selling houses is almost the opposite of the Canadian system where once you make an offer you have committed to purchase.
Of course we have been a victim of both systems as we couldn't commit as a buyer until we had a guaranteed sale.
Now the sale is agreed we have put in an offer on the "heart house" in Nova Scotia.
We will be moving out of Leeds at the end of the month and be homeless in the UK staying with relatives and possibly renting for a week in NS while our sale completes.
We will podcast if we get a chance to tell you what we are up to.
Of course we are also getting married at the weekend too.. so its a bit all go!

Congratulations!!!!!!
I am so glad for you both on three counts:
1) Have a wonderful wedding.....I didn't realize that same sex marriage happened in the UK.....I thought we were mavericks here in Canada. Do attach pictures!
2) wonderful that your house sale is concluding
3) fabulous that you can now put an offer in on your heart house...I hope it also concludes speedily
Take care and have the best party/ celebration this weekend too!!!
Thank you for your good wishes.
The technicality is we are being "civil partnered" as I am convinced a deal was done with the church to let it through if it wasn't called marriage.
But it is in the same office as civil marriage and all the procedures and rights are the same... so daft really.
Things seem to be speeding along - we will posting from Nova Scotia before you know it.

I have a technical question!
How is it that your blog is on blogger, but you can add podcasts to it? How do you upload them????
Just spending an hour of my day listening to you waffle... its very relaxing. I will email my wedding pics to you soon. Hope the rest of your day was lovely since the sun came out.
