    That must be another Scotland/England system difference - up here you put your preferred date in as part of your formal offer. There may be a bit of a compromise between seller and buyer's favoured dates but it is about the 2nd thing that is formally agreed (1st being accepting the offer price)! I think my moving date was decided on the same day my offer was accepted on my current flat! :D

    It must be taka - everything is so uncertain here, I'm surprised there hasn't been reform over the last 5 years anyway, but it would be a *huge* thing to do - maybe they wanted to leave well enough alone, while the boom was on.... I wonder if they'll ever be able to reform it, there must be a lot of vested interest in keeping it this way, not least from the lawyers

    Hooray for the trade - one step at a time is good, maybe a bit longer next time?

    Spot on Squirrel! Thats where the money will come - I'm just pleased to have broken the drought of not-clicking. And it felt normal, and I didn't get an adrenaline overload from doing it. There was a huge trade within my system on a foreign exchange thing I look at, but frankly it was so big I didn't see it - 68 points :eek::D:cool:

    I'm a bit frantic today cos there's a fair bit of extra work around, and commitments I've made, and I have to fit them all in today, so I'm not concentrating on the trading in the same way I was yesterday. Its not going to be perfect, thats life.

    My to-do list is on track - 5 ticks out of 19 :eek:

    It was long, sigh ........ I've done the things that *had* to be done today - voted :D, mystery shops and inputting, that sort of thing.

    Still haven't sent El her book :( haven't sorted solicitors for the house move, no more ebay yet, loads of washing up still sitting there, session notes need sorting. Sigh ........

    I finished the inputting about 15 minutes ago and really, that is *that*, I need to flake out - bought some Victoria Sponge from Tesco, which I adore, so I'll have a chunk of that :p

    Night all!

    Morning KC, hope you enjoyed the cake - it is good!

    Thats a long list but I know I need to be writing one today, as lots to do over the next few days, and I don't want to forget anything.

    Good luck finding a decent solicitor, my sisters was so bad she ended up doing lots of phone calls herself and didn't pay them the full bill :eek: yet ours (ok 15 years ago) was fab.

    You're welcome to some sponge - it gave me an upset stomach, or maybe the too-busy day did. This morning, I'm dosed up with paracetemol and anti-diahor.... however you spell it :o Absolutely shattered, and my estate agent *really* wants to know who my solicitors are. I'll be onto that in a mo, after all its long term but its really important. And I need to find out if the people I'm buying from have offered on the place they were seeing last night.

    I did fit in a trip to Tesco last night, and I've already steamed my tatties to take with me for today, and done my scratches, so at least I'm a little bit forward.

    Done the solicitor deal - how do people cope with this when they have a 9-5 job? Twice, I had people on both lines! All done now, tho, and I *think* the next thing is to contact my mortgage provider about a survey, but I'll speak to my estate agents/solicitors about that.

    Off to London soon, via the washing up. Hope everyone has a good day, I'm closing down here.
