    Hi Lemon

    So very sorry to hear that you are no further ahead with the solicitors. Absolutely disgraceful. Ring them everyday and keep asking what is happening. Don't let up on them.

    Delighted to hear you got a red toaster and that your dishwasher is arriving. You will not know yourself when you get into your new home.:)

    Loving all the new things you are getting! That side of it is fun, shame about the solicitors. It's a long time since we moved and we were blessed with a solicitor who was a friend and kept us really well informed, so I haven't had that experience, but you must be feeling you could do a better job yourself - especially as it seems you have to double-check what they're doing.

    The hexipuffs sound great and you will be super-snug with them on your bed. I hope when it's all done you'll send us a picture?

    hi Miggy there will no doubt be a piccie of my hexi blanket, not sure that everyone will still be around by the time i'm finished but i will post one :)
    the worst thing about the solicitor is that i did the training and then couldn't get a contract, so if i'd have carried along that route i would have been able to do my own (not that i would have been that stupid lol).

    Wow I too must have had one of the good ones when we moved house last time, don't remember too many problems at all.

    Really hope that you are sorted out soon, and the house:D

    EQ i'm sure we will get there, its just the time it's taking. We will get our doggy as well but i again think that's not likely to happen until next year though i did dream we were out walking and met someone with one who took our details as they were going to be breeding from their dog. Strangely enough though when i gave the details i couldn't remember my correct surname or address.....

    hhhmmmmm i've been having some weirder than usual dreams of late and i often do silly weird. wonder what's going on in my head??
  • Not nice having to wait so long and being messed about is bound to upset you Lemon. When you are under stress your dreams can be so vivid and mixed up. It will all happen and you will be well settled by the time the good weather is here. Take care of yourself. :)
