And finally.......

We're in! Got the keys today and have been round there this evening looking at it for the first time with no furniture and it generally looks fairly good - there's definitely a fair amount of work to do to get it all up together, but for the most part it'll just be painting.

We're having the sofas delivered tomorrow, and we're also being quoted for carpet in the upstairs bedrooms - then come the weekend it's flatout cleaning the place and starting to move bits and pieces in then probably look to move in a week Saturday.
