Our BAFO* on Pile #2 has been accepted. There was a momentary pause for a minor celebration, but we still need to get a firm offer in place on The Pile. Our potential buyers have been in contact with the Estate Agent, advising that they had viewed another property yesterday, but "it wasn't for them". They have another house to look at this afternoon** and then they will get back to the Agent about our house. They say that they, and their daughter, love our house, so we can only wait and see.
You can rest assured that we are constantly revisiting our decisions and second guessing each and every one of them. Should we have accepted their only offer? Surely everyone comes in with a low bid at first? Then there is the forensic analysis and reanalysis of the scant facts with the hope that the cosmic tumblers will, once again, click in to place an unlock a new future for us.
30% keeps telling me that "it will happen if it is meant to be", but, as you have probably worked out, I'm not a great believer in fate*** and am currently thinking "have we fucked this up"?

* Best and final offer.
** This turned out to be the home of 30%'s "Uncle Brian". It is £50K more expensive than ours and has the space they need, but not the location. 30% interrogated Uncle B via FaceBook and his view was that they didn't seem that interested.
*** Now the bell shaped curve of probability is a completely different thing. Everybody gets lucky once in a while.
