Staying put

Well, the chain fell apart last week as feared. We had more buyers round on Saturday but after a long chat into the night, realised we just don't have the energy or inclination to go back to square one, with all the uncertainty that would mean - even if we had got an offer quickly, the chances of completing before Christmas would have been minimal, and then I'd have been far too close to giving birth for all that upheaval.

So we have taken the flat off the market and are staying put for at least another year or so. The prevailing emotion is relief that the whole stressful situation is over, and joy at being able to start planning properly for Junior's arrival. We have already ordered a new sofa and been eyeing up cribs and prams.

Meanwhile, little Pele continues to kick about half a dozen times a day. Which is all good in my book.
