Moving or not?

Yesterday, we were almost definitely not moving, today we are back on.

This is where the stress really is, not the moving but the uncertainty in the whole process. I had pretty much got my head around not moving and was even relieved because of course in the short term (and even the medium term) it won't be an easy move. So now to know it is back on again, I am getting stressed about it.

Here is what happened... Yesterday our buyers decided to reduce their asking price by £30,000 because they said that their second sale had fallen through and that is what they needed to do to get it through on the sale of the first house alone. We basically batted this back to the agent to bat to our seller i.e. our house is being reduced by £30,000 what are you going to reduce your house by? The agent came back with some plan for everyone to put in £5,000 which meant we were still about £15,000 out of pocket, or maybe more (can't do maths in the middle of the summer holiday!!). So we said forget it, it's all off. The agent was, as far as we were aware, going to suggest that our buyer (who had bid on the house we are buying before us) buy the house we were going to buy rather than ours as it was £100k less and so they wouldn't have a problems with the mortgage. Whether she put that to them or not, I don't know but we got a call this afternoon from the agent that between our buyer, our seller and their seller (lost yet???!!) they had come up with the £30,000 so our sale was still going through at the original sale price. Difficult to refuse then really, so it is back on.

I DO want to move, but just wish it was all done and dusted. I HATE HATE HATE uncertainty and lastminute.com but guess I will just have to put up with it for a little while longer. Must just keep telling myself it will be alright, what will be, will be...
