I'd willingly pay £800 a year for any kind of water frontage, Bob.

There's always something to sit and watch while you eat and drink. I can sit for England so I'd probably spend loads of happy days doing that.

I hope you and your OH enjoy many delightful years in your new home. Best of luck with the move on the 25th.

Thanks to all who have commented and wished us well. I will keep you updated. From the offer made on our house to completion will be 20 weeks, due to foot-dragging on the part of solicitors etc. A couple of weeks ago we were so p****d off with it all that we gave them a week to complete or we would pull out. Worked like magic.

Funny that Bob, I had a foot dragging buyer who tried every trick - even asked me to pay half of her redecorating costs!!!! I'd had enough so just said 'we complete this Friday or the deals off' Hey Voila! :-D :-D

All the best, I hope the move goes smoothly (as possible LOL)

You wouldn't believe how hard it is to get in contact with the agencies that need to be informed, DSS, HMRC, Council etc. Tried phoning, e-mail, ended up writing to them. Considering all the hoops you have to jump through just to get on to government sites it was quicker to use snail-mail.

Persevere, Bob, it will be well worth it.

I am well-jeal that you will have a river frontage ..... in the nicest possible way, of course. :-D :-D :-D
