Well, the bad news is....

my house sale fell through. The good news is, that when I agreed with a contract with the party of the first part there was a party of the second part who also wanted to buy the place (they were the 3rd people to look but the frst people to book an appointment), and they're coming on Sunday to have another quick look-see. They'd be here tomorrow but he's in Armidale (abot 1000 kms away) for a horse dentist conference. They were extremely disappointed when they found out I'd signed a contract and extremely happy when they found out it had fallen through. And they're country vet people so they'll understand that the fact there are termites in a paddock half an acre away doesn't mean that they'll suddenly jump and eat the house next week (they've been there for the entire time I've lived here and haven't migrated to the house yet).

They also understand country councils (you know, that they're inept and forget to put through final extension permissions that were paid for 2 and a half years ago, which doesn't mean they're going to come and knock down the house next week, either).

So, fingers crossed.

Sorry to hear about plan/people A falling through :( But there is a reason blah blah and hopefully horse dentists will be more affable :)

Hang in there and don't let the giraffes take over the zoo (that'd be bad for the meerkats and werehamsters)
