Still waiting

No movement on our applications yet. We aren't expecting any, of course, but it is still frustrating to not know how long we'll be sitting here waiting.

On the plus side, even if we have to wait a few more months, it looks like the housing market here will still be very buoyant, which is great news for both of us. Skry has a 50% stake in one house, and I have 100% of another (well, apart from our mortgages of course). The people two doors down just sold their house for three times what I paid for mine, which is a great sign! Theirs is a little bigger, but it's still a good indication of what mine will sell for once we've spruced it up a bit. I should be looking at £100,000 profit at least, if the market stays the way it is right now. That will be a huge help in getting us set up in a new country.
