They heard this morning that they got it! So it's theirs for three years from 8th Feb - a few very busy weeks ahead for them, as if they weren't busy enough, but I'm sure they will manage. They will be renting out their own house which will need to be freshened up, so they probably need to wait until they have moved out their own stuff. We've offered to help with painting, after all we do have the time, and of course anything else we can do.
