My mate (who I work with and my gf's best mate since they were kids) has been pestering me all day to get onto the estate agent... It's totally cool, his in-laws went a bit dewey-eyed when their granddaughter was born and over extended themselves... They bought the house for her really... They've shacked up on the ground floor of the other grandad's house now, rent-free and very willing live-in babysitter upstairs so no complaints!
Let's see what the next couple of days bring up, we're in a good position to do a very quick deal... Lease is up in two weeks at our current rental and we haven't signed the new one yet so this could be perfect... I know something'll probably go terribly wrong and scupper the deal but I live in hope... I won't be truly happy here 'til we have our own place...

Finally getting around to putting an offer in on a house tomorrow... Prices have gone up, about 10% on what we were looking at 18mths ago... Bit of a weird setup, we looked at this house last year but passed, then our friend's parents bought it and put them in it with their new baby... Turns out they've overstretched themselves and need to get rid super quick... They've spent a lot of money on the property that they won't get back, could work out great for us... Fingers crossed...
