    Grrrr...

    Still waiting to exchange. Sellers are 'getting jumpy' and have threatened to remarket the house, but as far as I know, we're ready to go...

    Were supposed to exchange on Monday gone, but hopefully it will happen today???

    We exchanged yesterday, and move on Friday - a week today!!

    Can't come soon enough, I've truly had enough of living in a house full of cardboard boxes...!!

    Just about to start making the calls to BT, BG, Sky, etc etc. The fun begins here.....

    I would go out Lynz - a watched phone never rings!

    I did some packing last weekend but nothing more since, apart from buying some boxes.
