Well, it seems the stress of house-buying, which everyone talks about, has held off until now - and then hit us with full force!! Today we've had all sorts of issues with the gas and electricity stuff, but have hopefully come out of it ok - the vendors have agreed to pay for the repairs, if we complete on Friday - which is exactly what we want to do. Now I'm waiting for a completion time from our solicitors, Ben has booked a van, and when I have a time I am going to book the gas company to come round and mend the leak on Friday afternoon. It's a wee bit stressful, but quite exciting as well - although I'm not getting much work done at the moment, and I have a prospectus to finish by tomorrow!

*edit* looks like we'll be completed between 12noon and 1pm on Friday - so I've booked the gas engineer for 2pm - wow, in 2 days we could be in our own (very cold) house!
