Weirdest coincidences you've ever experienced?

I've got one!

I've been trying to move for years because we're sooo isolated but circumstances and availability have seemingly worked in tandem against these plans! A short while back, I took the boys to a museum in the area I've been trying to relocate to (10 miles from current location) during our walk to the park afterwards, we took a short cut, found a wishing fountain we didn't know existed so my eldest threw a coin in, making a wish: "I wish we could find a new house" Life went on.

Over the last couple of months, I've been applying for, viewing and being rejected from (I have pets!) many potential new homes in various places around the area; it's been very stressful as the boys are really unhappy here and my eldest now attends school in the area we have been trying to move to. A new listing came up on Tuesday, applied straight away, viewed Wednesday. When I arrived, guess where it was? Right opposite the fountain! They had viewings before and after me so wasn't hopeful (people were literally waiting outside 😂)... but they called today to say they've paused viewings and would like to offer us the tenancy; I could literally throw a coin in the fountain from my new bedroom window! Needless to say, I've paid my holding deposit and we move in January 😊
Ah that's amazing, congrats @BooMT! 😊
