For I-don't-know-how-long-now I have vaguely been keeping an eye on the housing market. Every now and then a house that seems like it might suit us shows up. So far they have all turned out to not be exactly what we'd be looking for in a new house, and we forget about it until the next one appears. There was one a while ago that was quite tempting, but it wasn't quite perfect, and we decided that it was going to be too much stress to try and get everything together to even have a hope of buying it.
And now there is another one that looks nice (at least in the listing). We're still waiting on any sort of payout from EQC, so it's all a bit of a gamble as to what we will get for our current house, but according to their timeframes (last time I checked) then that should have happened by the time this place would be auctioned. I'm not holding my breath.
It's very frustrating watching good-but-not-perfect houses pass us by, knowing that in a few months we may be more actively looking for something and they would have actually been quite acceptable. I hate not having a definite idea of what we could afford to buy. And I really hate trying to ring EQC for updates, because it seems like there's never any change.
I know we are lucky to have a borrowed house to live in, which means no daily financial stress, but I would love to be in our own home again!

I don't think anyone likes ringing EQC, good luck and I hope they pay you out soon so you can move on.
Goodness, buying a house is stressful without EQC, I can't imagine how you're meant to cope. But don't let them beat you down is all I can think of writing - you have a brilliant future with your three "men" and much talent and knowledge in decorating your new home.
And even though it reads kind of hollow as I type, I also know these things are true and I mean them, and fingers crossed, you know them to be true, too.
