Be Excellent To Each Other

Couple of nested Yays for me.

After nearly 9 years, we've finally managed to sell our "spare" house and make a modest profit. Yay!
This means we can invest some of that money in our current house. New kitchen and bathroom AT LEAST. Yay!
After crunching a load of numbers and checking a lot of regulations and reliefs, our profit comes in below the threshold for Capital Gains Tax, so Mr HMRC doesn't take a big wet bite of our shiny equity. Yay!
As a knock on, I don't have to do anymore bloody self assessment tax returns. YAY!

So... it's been a satisfying couple of days.

That Is a lot of yay’s.

Good work Davpaz!

Have just been approved for a mortgage. Passed all the checks and everything.

I feel all grown up and very scared.

Not your first mortgage, surely?

But also, YAY!

Yes. First on my own.
