I didn't recognise your picture for a minute because you changed it!

My new pics one of Timbers masterpieces, keeps taking me by surprise too. Healthy lifestyle is OK but I did succumb to a few G&T's the other night, slimline tonic though
Just rung our solicitors, they answered the phone to tell me that they dont accept calls before 10.30 on Friday??????
DONT PICK UP THE BLOODY PHONE THEN
Sorry, rant over.

lol. no doubt. I'm considering a sit -in, though last time I went in I waited half an hour to be seen to and was then told I was in the wrong office though I'd double checked before arriving.
Feel like renting forever.

I intend to put house on market around April, garden starting to look nice, evenings a bit lighter etc.
Told hubby last night, he replies `Well they do advise you not to sell until visa secured` Yep I know that but they advise that just to cover there own backs`.
Will he understand.....No dont think so..........

We keep being asked by the buyer to agree to completion dates, but yet they are unable to propose an exchange date. I had a rant at them and said we need 7 days from exchange before we can complete. Gives us time to book PSS.....again.....
Sorry.....I feel better now......

How's everyone getting on? We've just had our exchange date put back again, for the 3rd time. Guy at the start of the chain paid his deposit by cheque then promptly buggered off on holiday. It won't clear until Friday now.
Anyone made advances???

The buyers had the survey done yesterday so I guess they are serious. they say they want to be in by end of Feb! if they are that will be the quickest house sale we have ever had!! Won't beleive it till it happens!
Got Robinsons removals coming next week to give us a price for the shipping.
You must be really peed off now - it's a shame you can't get the exchange out of the way more quickly isn't it..such a pain can't make firm plans until then. I haven't even started looking at rentals yet

Aiming to get our house on the market in the next couple of weeks, our house now has no personality after the house doc treatment, that I think is good, magnolia everywhere and white gloss, dried flowers in every room co-ordinating, sad ain't it!!!!
What we do to get a buyer, and then keep fingers crossed to see if they can get to completion without dropping out.
Our last house the morning of the sale our solicitor wanted us not to exchange contracts, van was in driveway waiting, I thought he was insane to suggest it. We went ahead and it all turned out fine, a few extra grey hairs to show for it though.
Estate agent has told me at present its taking an everage of 12 weeks up here to get to completion. So much for the usual 6.
And as for it all hopefully tieing in nicely, I'd be amazed, I,m not expecting it to, mum-in-laws floor beckons
