Thanks, sadly not France but rural Shropshire which will still be a complete change from where we are now. That is if the buyer of ours doesn't make it all go wrong. We were supposed to exchange contracts on Thursday, the buyer is out of the country, his solicitor is on holiday and the junior he left behind doesn't seem to know her backside from her elbow and told our solicitor that there was a small issue thats come up and "I know its not ideal but we won't be able to resolve this until I've spoken to the client on Monday" too right it's not ideal as we have pickfords coming in on Monday to start packing and loading everything up and tomorrow I'm driving down to the new place with my brother-in-law in his Toyota Dyna pickup and me in my the wifes X-Trail with a trailer full of ride on mower, the kids playhouse on the back of my BIL's truck along with a load of garden and garage stuff that pickfords won't shift. Everything is set for wednesday, phones get cut off, loads of stuff switches over to the new house etc etc. Talk about stressed out!

Shame the truck isn't road legal yet, she's making the journey on the back of a flatbed, at least then I'll have a decent sized garage that she might just fit in if theres enough height clearance through the door.
