Queen's Jubilee = 2 bank holidays

So in the UK real estate is totally up for grabs until both parties sign the contract.  We are currently waiting to get the contract on Lyndhurst signed by the landlord... but two days of bank holidays are holding up the process.  The worry is that the landlord supposedly had other second showings last week, and very well could have gotten a more attractive offer.  Ours was a little low price wise, and it comes with 4 kids, 2 cats and a dog.  Not a strong position.

So, hopefully on Wednesday early am we will hear back and know what is going on.  We do have other apartments to fall back on if needed.
