ZOMG!

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

The offer was accepted!! To be honest, it was so low I really didnt expect it whatsoever, but they accepted it anyhow!

As the estate agent told me this over the phone yesterday I was a little bit lost for words, the first thought in my head was "I'm going to have to get some paint" rather than wanting to tell everyone. Then came a few hours of panic, and now after all the panic and reflection the day after I can say the house can be ours! That is if we can get it...

Now comes the near impossible task of getting a mortgage. The OH has an unblemished credit history, always pays her cards off on time and always pays the phone bill. Having been rejected for a few loans myself over the past three or four years I delved into the wonderous world that is my credit file. Lo and behold, there are two defaults on it - one dating back to 2006 and one in 2008. One was kind of my fault, but the other was because a semi-reputable mobile telephone provider had somehow managed to lose a payment. I really don't want to have to wait so long to get going with the mortgage as to having to wait for these bad boys to clear off the system... so I have to get them removed myself, which I have been told takes months!

Ah well, better get on the phone!
