The deed is done

Today we signed the contracts for the new house and in ten days we complete and the place is 100% ours! On the way down to the solicitors this morning I did point out to the wife that in terms of commitment, this is as good as getting married. I told her that this was her last chance to call the whole thing off and to speak now or forever hold her peace. She replied in her typically romantic way, "I'm not pulling out now after the amount of money we've spent getting this far". However she did suggest that we went out for lunch afterwards to celebrate and I'm sure I spied a bottle of something fizzy in the fridge!
