HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY LILY!

 

It's a special day.  Our youngest granddaughter turns ONE.

Lily has been a delight from the moment she arrived into our family, we love her so very much.  See you this evening darling.

Sadly, Stew has to return to work today.

I will miss him being around 24/7.

It's been lovely having him around for almost three weeks.  

Around lunchtime today we have the 'buyers' builder coming over to do a building inspection, as per the contract conditions.

Hopefully the house passes all his/her checks.  

The contract can fall over on a building report, depending on what, if anything, is found 'wrong'.  I can't think of anything being wrong with our home though, so I hope I'm a little worried about nothing.

ABOVE: The pool is looking 100% gorgeous.  And the family enjoyed swimming in it yesterday.  I will miss our pool next summer.

Luckily, I don't actually have to do anything for the builder today.  The house is already spic 'n' span.  So it should be a quiet morning.

Catch ya later.

ABOVE:  What do you call someone who says one thing, then almost immediately does the complete opposite?

CHRIS HARVEY is one of those.

I swear, I simply cannot do NOTHING.

I decided to make another Square Table Topper today.

Another one that showcases BLUE.

OMG the buyer's Estate Agent just turned up!  11 am???

I wasn't expecting the builder until 12.30pm.

LOL, the Agent got the time wrong too, it's actually at 11.30 am.

So, she's gone off to make some phone calls until 11.30.  And I shall continue working on my topper.

ABOVE:  It is now 1.34 pm.  And the builder has been here for TWO hours already!  He is being incredibly thorough.  And the 'buyers' have contacted the agent several times in the two hour period, asking for this, that and the other thing to be checked!   Like, their son (who's a builder) said he was sure there was a 'bow' in our hallway wall!

Well.  The building inspector got out his huge level... and checked it.  NO BOW.

I have a feeling the buyers are going to try and pick our home apart, and either walk away?  Or give us 'right of repair',  or make us drop our price.

This has been NERVE WRACKING.  

On a better note, someone who came through the  house on the weekend is interested, so that makes three 'interested' parties in the background.

Nothing on paper though, so can't count on any of them coming through.

Luckily, it will happen eventually.  Just have to hang in there.... and maybe this sale will go through?

I'm back in the sewing room now, having spent the last two hours yakking with the potential buyers Estate Agent.  That was nice, she seems like a nice enough person.

ABOVE:  Lily checking out her new books.  This kid loves books.

ABOVE:  Clever parents, put baby in a paddle pool so she can eat her birthday cake and not make a mess on the floor.

It was a very nice cake too.

And now, we are home, and it will be our usual evening. I am still feeling really 'wired' after today's stress, so hopefully I can unwind now,  and just relax.

Catch ya tomorrow.
