I get two month's notice starting from when he finds a buyer, and apparently now is almost exactly the trough season for house-buying, so that hopefully means I won't be turfed out until the spring.
I think I could afford to buy the house myself, especially if I keep my current housemate on and get him to pay rent, but given that I believe house prices have a fair way to fall from here, spending most of my wealth on the pursuit of negative equity is not just Not Clearly Wise, but Clearly Not Wise.
Glerk. One more thing to worry about. And I have my driving test Monday. I'm not sure how confident I am about it, so I've made a small bet. If I pass then I buy my housemate a swede; if I fail, he buys me a cabbage.
