Oh Lionda,
Have only just read this thread, and feel desperate for you having to go through all these emotions.
Talk about a rollercoaster ride, eh?

As several people have said, maybe this situation will actually do you a favour.
It is a horrible thing to happen on a Friday, and it's rotten when you feel so "out of control" about an important situation like this, but.........

Enjoy that big bottle of wine
Have a hug with hubby
Resign yourselves to the fact there's nothing you can do about it until the early part of next week
Enjoy the UK sunshine, cos it's raining and cold in many parts of Spain!
If need be, you'll be able to buy some "comfort food" on a Sunday in the UK (which you generally can't do in Spain!)
Take a deep breath, and think "tranquilla!"

Our latest saying is "how long is a Spanish piece of string!?" because you'll find you need to develop even more patience once you get here

Try not to think about the breach of contract situation just yet, because that's not until the end of April, is it?
It's still only 2nd/3rd of the month on Mon/Tues, so there is still time for this all to be sorted out.
This is a hiccup; but if it's meant to be, then it will all come good in time.

You can look forward to that extra special birthday celebration when you get here, too

If all else fails, maybe you should have your cards read again!!??

Sending you hugs, and hoping to hear some positive news next week.
Wishing you all the very best,
Sam xx

PS I'm so glad you weren't cross with me about your avatar!

Martha is right Lionda , Dont Panic !!!

You wont need to reapply or anything , sounds like they are making sure they and you !! dont get caught out so relax and take it easy

Hey Lionda, I hope there are no negative waves coming from your house this weekend, only positive thoughts are allowed, It will be OK just keep on in there girl.

Oh what a kick in the teeth for you! You must feel like the whole thing is against you. My sympathies.

I agree with all above. Both sides want the money. Talk to Developer. Bank is looking after you, just not how you want it. Doesnt stop you getting really frustrated with it all.

I agree with Martha and Big Pete, just take a deep breath and go with the flow.
When the builders think they are not getting your money from the bank, and if not, getting sued for a breach of contract, they will soon get their arse in gear.
They use their monies sort of like rob Peter to pay Paul, they need your money to finish yours, Mr Smiths and start Mr Jones`s house, if they run short of cash flow things slow a bit but soon catch up, as yours is close to finish you must be on a winner.
At least you will know that everything is ok then.

The Banks have tightened up on releasing money without the correct paperwork since the Malaya case in Marbella, hundreds have illegal houses they can`t sell and some still paying mortgages on them.

Keep your chin up, a lot can happen in a month

You lot really do cheer me up. I went to bed feeling quite sad about the whole thing and today I see more positive comments You have all pointed out the positive side to this where I was only seeing the negative. Thank you so much I'm going to try not to think about it today and see what next week brings.

MnM

This coming week will bring you good news, I'm sure Lionda!

Write a few of your most desired wishes on a piece of paper, fold it up.....light a candle and place it underneath.....leave the candle to burn all the way down.....be careful not to burn the house down in the process.

It may not be very scientific, but it can't hurt

Lionda

I will do that Martha - I'll try anything Thanks again for cheering me up and thinking of me I'm supposed to be clearing our the conservatory but keep peeking in on here

jdr

You could also do that to save on your leccy bill, lol

MnM

*lmbo*...soooooooooooooooooooooooo right you are!

Lionda

Martha - HOW DO YOU DO IT!!! I did the thing with the candle as you suggested and IT WORKED This afternoon I first got a phone call from our mortgage broker to say he had the certificate from the bank and was faxing it through to our agents. Then a call from our agents to say they have spoken to our solicitor and to the builders and WE CAN MOVE IN!!! Of course with Easter we have to be patient but we can start to make arrangements now for our move.

Thank you Martha, I'm sure you sent me luck!

I'm trying to remain calm this time as getting excited before seemed to break the spell and I don't want to do that

I think I will open a bottle of Retsina this evening in celebration - my first glass will be a toast to you Martha for sending the charm

jdr

Nice one, I wonder if it worked on her leccy bill as well ;-)

Rosemary

Fantastic news.

I did nothing.....just kept sending good thoughts and wishing you luck is all.
