hope everyone has been well.

tis payday today so i've had the fun job of moving money around and updating spreadsheets

paid another £250 off mad Mavis and put aside another £250 towards making sure it's clear by christmas. When all taken into account it is now effectively sitting at £3300

didn't go anywhere or do much else today as i've come down with a horrible cough, it started a couple of nights ago and is really annoying just ask Mr LT, doing my best to fight it off

got an envelope from the solicitors today, the contracts for the house we're buying, so we have to return that paperwork and we're all set to go. Just a bit narked as we apparently now have to pay the solicitor to type up a document for our purchaser to sign with my current neighbours. i mean what the heck! i'll be spoon feeding her her dinner next after i've chewed it of course. none of the others have insisted on this document when they bought their places, and it's not compulsory so why do i have to pay for them the prepare it?? i suppose the answer is that i'll pay because i want to sell this place, but we're eating into the equity that we'll get from selling. i'll stop whinging now!

hoping we'll get to go to the cinema tomorrow on an orange wednesday, it will be nice to do something whilst we're off

Hi LT, sorry still trying to catch. Did i see you got a new phone? What did you get?

oh LT solicitors really are a pain in the posterior. You're right though. They know you want to sell and move so they are using that to milk it for all it's worth. Hope you don't eat into too much of the equity.

Hopee your cough gets better soon. I really dislike coughs. They are so annoying! My mum used to threaten to make us sleep out with the chickens when we had coughs as children

Hmm could you send a bill BACK to the solicitors for your time spent typing up the document? (oh and make it more than they are charging you :rotfl:)

Hi Lemon

You will never move again once you get this sorted out. What a carry on you have had with solicitors. You did make me laugh though when you said you'd be spoon feeding her after you chewed her food for her. LOLOLOLOLOL:):):):):)

It is? Fantastic! cough cough....Dark chocolate is now medicine - thank you! Hopefully, calorie free too?

thanks for the medicinal advice uni, i'm working my way upto dark chocolate via milk at the moment, i can't spring it onto my body too quickly. funnily enough though tonight is the first chocolate i've had all week (i must be seriously ill!) i just haven't felt like having any. The cough is getting worse, and i had the devils own job finding some cough mixture without alcohol in it. don't think its working yet though, all i want to be truthful is a good nights sleep even if it is with the chooks Starnac. I'm now at two nights without any real sleep, i'm sat here barely awake at times but if i try and lay down i just start with coughing fits.

uni i ended up with a HTC explorer, and the cheapest contract possible and i think they made a mistake because they let me have it free with that contract whereas the ticket and online both said it was only free with the next contract up. I have to say i'm pretty pleased with both the phone and the service i got when they transfered my mobile number across, it happened exactly when they said it would! only wish broadband suppliers would be so accurate.

i think we have a little more progress with the sale - the contract has turned up and i've passed to my first neighbour, we won't be able to complete until after it's back with the solicitors and as i'm paying a small fortune for it i'd best get it sorted out. i think my buyers solicitor has finally come back to mine so we know what they're confirming the last issues to be. fingers crossed it won't take an age to sort out once and for all. who know's a miracle may happen and we may be moving this month, (only two months late but hey who's counting?)
