Its felt very, very slow. We were meant to exchange earlier this week. We have delayed completion by a few weeks, because we have some contracted time scales that are tight to do with purchasing responsibility, and wanted to give ourselves and extra month to get a start on some of those.

edit: and dh's boss just told him to come home early. Yippee!

Wahey! Excellent stuff and so pleased for you after the stresses you had last week.

actually, I feel in the shorter term its likely prices will go down, that that's what happens when I buy something generally, lol. I also think its indicated by the bank's surveyor's remarks n the market and the fact this went back to the underwriters for review a couple of times. But there is a comfortable cushion for us in the property and its a long term property. Much to the distaste of many we will indeed have missed ''rungs of the ladder'' and one we couldn't possibly have afforded in 2007. It also is the elusive ''doer upper'': ironically only purchasable because we could put a decent amount of equity in it.

Thank you sue. Please don't worry about grumps. They're human too, but we care about you.

Thank you tomterm.

there is room, but no the will to keep mulitple boys about, unless they will coexist peacefully and free range.

We'd like bees but have to sort out something to eat first: not many trees about yet, and no nearby gardens, so I think that might be better left.

Alison is beautiful though.....quite a different colour to how s/he started out. I'll have to get a picture to share.

Sometimes, you can keep bees at a local allotment... depending on agreement. If you don't have local food that might be the best.

I like the concept of bees, I don't like being stung. Did you see the victorian farm program... where the bee 'climbed' the blokes trousers... classic.
