Sam Sunday #4

My cat, Joseph, relaxing :)

Last week I was very disappointed at the fact that our purchase of the house we wanted to buy had fallen through.  I think I mentioned that we had found somewhere else we liked and the good news is that we managed to negotiate a really good price on it.  So for practically the same price, we're now buying a three bedroom semi-detached house that is near woodland, rather than a two bedroom terraced house.  Of course, we still have all the legal work to go through and the mortgage to update, but things seem positive so far.  We have a tentative exchange of contracts date of March 1st (my birthday), we're just trying to not get too excited about it in case something goes wrong again.

But I'm not going to write too much about it as we're trying to move away from our lives being overwhelmed by house hunting and purchasing!   The only thing I will mention is that our Game of Thrones paper cut/art finally arrived (see left) and it's even more fabulous than I had hoped.  My husband isn't a big reader but he's really into A Song of Ice and Fire so it's been nice to be able to discuss books and theories together.  We're saving it for when we (finally) move.  Bonus points for anyone who can identify all of the houses!

Next week is the last school week before the half term break and I can't wait for the week off.  The last couple of weeks have been emotionally exhausting so I plan to do nothing more than sleep, cook delicious food, perhaps visit a few places in the day and watch trashy movies.  It'll also be a good chance to spend some more time with my nephew before my sister goes back to work after her maternity leave.

How was your week?  I'm glad mine was less stressful than the last!
