It came back to us

It was toward the end of May 2010, after about 2 months after our offer on the house was rejected, we had a phone call from the Estate Agent to say that the previous offer that had been accepted had now been withdrawn.  The Estate Agent asked us whether we were still interested in the house and made a formal offer straight away and was accepted a short while later.  This now meant we had to work much harder and quicker to sell both Paul's house and Cliff's house for the move to go ahead.
