Tentative yay.

Okay, the gods may be smiling favourably on us.

I have put down a conditional holding deposit on a house. Its very nice and has pretty much everything that we want. I say conditional as we just need to get the landlord to sort out plumbing for the dishwasher--I'll be damned if I'm putting a perfectly good dishwasher in the shed for six months--and a pump for the shower to up the water pressure. The landlord is getting someone in tomorrow to quote for the above, and she seems really keen to let it to us. A bit of flirting with the letting agent seems to go a long way. Why yes, I am shameless.

Keep your fingers crossed, sacrificial knives honed and goats tied to the altar....
