    But donations for the elderly never come amiss

    Was disappointed with the farmhouse, but a barmaid in the hotel we stayed at on friday night said her father was selling a house nearby, and we viewed that on saturday morning and it was fantastic. Huge grounds including a wood and two wells, five bedrooms, a 40' by 20' kitchen, etc. So I'm making an offer for that next week.
    Excellent! When's the housewarming?

                    Sure, but I'll wait until we exchange contracts in case the whole thing falls through.

                      I hope you're not suggesting that MF would gazump you and then withdraw on the day of exchange just to spite you.
