Selling the Swedish house and getting school uniforms

At the same time as I tried to get a bank account and get everything ready for the family to move in to the house in Guildford, the house-selling process in Sweden continued. The first family to sign the contract backed out, and new viewings were planned. This time the real estate agent clearly stated the risks with buying an old house, and a couple signed up. This fell through as well, and we began to despair.

The garden of the Swedish house. It is a lovely house, and I'm sure the new owners will enjoy it!

Luckily, a couple from Malmö fell in love with the house and bought it, just as we were thinking about alternatives to selling.

Finally, the family was together in Guildford, and we could start our new life!

Now, the process of actually signing up for schools for the children started. You can't sign up until living in the catchment area, and as the move took longer than we had expected, school admission got to be the highest priority.

All went well, and Mel could buy school uniforms for the children - which they really loved! I guess it lasts until they actually have to use them...

First time in school uniforms. The oldest didn't want to pose.
