No Regrets

Today we exchanged contracts on our current house, we actually committed to selling it to someone else and as long as they don't die or become permanently disabled, then the house is theirs on 20 March. Now that we've exchanged on our house, we can exchange on the house that we are buying, that will also lock us in to settlement on 20 March. We're still trying to organise access to the new house from 18 March which we don't believe will be a problem, it just comes down to how much the builder wants to charge us for two days rent.
The whole, unless someone dies thing is always a little odd, like what are the chances of that actually happening. However, on the weekend, we heard that one of the people who works at our solicitors office slipped in the bath and hit their head and died. Just like that, just on this last weekend. Crazy. 
It would be so traumatising for the family and friends, no way to prepare for it, no way of knowing, just gone. If someone in my family just died unexpectedly it would turn everything upside down, even more so if it was someone like my wife. I can't imagine something like that happening, but it just goes to show that it can happen and you just don't know when your time is up.
I think it is a reminder that you shouldn't be putting off anything that you want to do until a later date when there isn't a real reason why you shouldn't be doing it now. Want to travel the world, then find a way to do it and just do it. Want to lose weight... umm yeah. Want to start a YouTube channel about motocamping... umm, also yeah.

Bomber
live with no regrets.
