We're moving - hooray!!
Over the last week we have, at last, received and accepted an offer on our house. We then viewed 7 properties at the weekend and have had our offer on a lovely house accepted. 
I am so excited! We're moving from a 2 bed terrace in the middle of an infamous council estate to a 3 bed semi in a lovely rural village. I can't wait to decorate Abby's new bedroom. Hopefully we can move in before the summer holidays so that I have time to paint a mural on her wall before LO arrives. I want to have lots of animals for her to look at and identify - has anyone seen anything good? I'm actually more excited about her bedroom than the new nursery.

I love decorating, but don't have much time these days!!
Hope it all goes to plan for you and your family x
We are trying to move but no luck so far. The viewings have completely dried up in the last few months, possibly due to the election. So want to move though!
Have fun redoing your new house! xx
Hope everything works out for you all.
We sold our house and moved out 11 Dec 2009 to be with inlaws as a temporary measure.
In Jan 2010 we had offer on house accepted but had to pull out as survey picked up too many issues. In Feb, we had offer on another house again accepted but again, a few survey issues arose and mortage company have been very strict and have reduced amount they will lend by ??5k and put a ??2k retention on for work to be completed.
We are now in a dispute with current owner to get work done as its immediate and necessary repairs to the electrics and drains.
So, we are still with the inlaws (5 months next week), everything is still in storage (inc spring/summer clothes) and I am sick!!!!!
Good luck! I'm sure you won't have any probs

Iz - The house is in Stoke Poges. It's where OH's business is based, Abby's nursery is and where my in-laws live. I was hoping to find a place there as it's so nice.
Naomi - it's only 2 miles from our current place but is over the county border from Slough into South Bucks. It's an extra ??100,000 but the area is worth it for the schools, fields full of horses etc.
Anyway thanks for all your comments,
