We went to Stan’s office a 4:45, the seller’s agent was due to call at 5, she did. He told her our offer, and then she said she’d phone the guy see if it’s okay, and then phone us right back. So we waited. And waited. And waited. I don’t know whether he was just thinking it over, it was hard to reach him, or whether she decided to spend her time on a property that her commission is a little more on. Either way, she didn’t call us back until 6:50. Stan answers, she tells him the buyer won’t do $129,000, but will do $130,000. Expecting this, we of course said sure. (We also had the paper work done in case she hadn’t called by 7, in which case we were all going to leave, and the paperwork would be ready if necessary and Stan could submit it straight away.) So paper’s are done, they’ve been faxed to the seller’s agent, who will get him to sign. The deal can’t close if he doesn’t sign… and we’re not 100% sure he actually will and I actually have a house. Well, on March 15th. This waiting is killing me. But of course, it’s reasonable that we won’t get it back until tomorrow. Our offer is good until 10pm tomorrow, so we’ll see what happens. Mom’s saying that he might stick with the $131,000 he originally countered for, since I went up… but I think, it’s an extra thousand, I doubt he would throw the whole thing out the window over it. Dad kinda agrees with us both, if that’s possible. Still very, very excited! (And all this waiting is sooooo not helping!)

Pepper’s super good this evening, to the point that I can’t get her to calm down and go to sleep. I’m debating leaving her my duvet to lie on since it’s her favourite thing to snuggle into… but I’m not sure. The cover thankfully can be easily washed, but the duvet inside, um, not so happy… but one night won’t hurt it. And it’s feather so I technically shouldn’t use it anyways.
