Whirlwinds

That is how this past weekend has felt. Don't get me wrong - it has been all good. Just very "up in the air" and very "stressful". Let me explain...
*We have found out that YES we have managed to get a mortgage - we are so excited about this.
*We went to have a look at a house that is just round the corner from us on Saturday morning. It has been repossed and needs a lot of work but is lovely.
*We called the estate agents up straight away and put an offer in on the house.
*Once this was done the estate agent dropped a bit of a bomb on us - because it is a repossed house everything will need to be completed within 28 days! On the one hand that was great, on the other it put me into a spin as that meant we would need to come up with £1000 in 28 days.
* We spent the rest of the day going around the house trying to see what we could sell to help get this money that we needed.
* Monday morning i got a call from our financial advisor (currently helping us with the mortgage) who tells me that he is very sorry but we can not get the house we put the offer in for due to how it was built. They are having problems with the structure of the buildings and so mortgage lenders wont lend on these houses. Bad news as we loved the house but good news as i don't want to end up 3 years down the line with a house that needs complete rebuilding.
*Went to look at another house last night but this one is just not for us .....so the hunt continues!

Everything just felt like it was happening so fast! Quite mind blowing to be honest.

In other news i still have not heard anything about my extension on my visa. This is really starting to get urgent now. They have had it since October and we really need it back along with my passport and all the documents. Please will you pray that things get sped up and that it all goes through alright and SOON!

That's it for today, a lot more news to share but it will have to wait. Have a great day everyone.
