SO proud!

Well it has been a tumultuous time this past six weeks since putting our flat on the market. We sold to a developer, then had to pull out as the owner of the upstairs flat made our lives very uncomfortable (that is a much more coplicated story than it first sounds!!!!) Then we immediately sold to a previously interested party for a slightly better price, only to discover one week later, that he had 'insufficient funds' "Doh". Then we put it back on the market for a week and have now sold to our highest bidder, being over the asking price!!! The freeholder (lady in the upstairs flat) has all the while made our lives incredibly difficult as we are having to renew the lease to re-sell, which seems to have given her power over all of our decisions. We just spent a week at Si's Mum and Dads' just to get away from her! So now we are praying this sale goes through without too many hitches and that the lease can be renewed in a way that is fair to all involved!!!
On a very exiting note, my boy has re-started his racing season with great gusto and came 5th in a race which does not suit him well (track racing). 5th place means 5 points and he only needs 10 points to get into the next category (3). He had his name mentioned in the Echo on Friday 30th March by a fellow team mate who had won another race, and was held in great esteem, which really encouraged our Mearsy! Some recognition is coming for the months of gruelling training he has put in, and I am sure he will really shine this year.
We are taking each day as it comes with regards to our future but feel closer to God than ever before as a result of the fear, upset, joy and exitement we have experienced over these past few weeks and months. Thanks for listening. Josie and Simon x
