    it has taken ages Taxi, 3 months so far and if it takes to the end of March then it'll have been 4 months, and we still don't know for sure when it will finish.

    if i'd have known you were up i could have been chatting in the wee small hours, once again i ended up trying to get some sleep in the living room. Mr LT had to go back to work for a 12 hr shift today so i didn't want to disturb him too much with my coughing.

    hi all, back to work tomorrow :( i'm so looking forward to it.

    had a lovely letter in the post on saturday, it looks like i'll be debt free by my birthday, if only every envelope you open could contain the same news. Just hopeing that sometime soom one of the letters i open says that we have a completion date.

    got to call the solicitor tomorrow (somehow), looks like there's a problem with the document that she's charged me almost £200 to prepare - you'd think she could have gotten it right.

    I am curious why does your neighbour need to see your contract?
    Sorry you have been feeling rough. Isn't that always the way, you have a holiday and get ill, cos you have been running on adrenaline whilst you were at work...

    I hope you sleep again tonight. :) I think the bug is going the rounds of the forum... various people are suffering. Roll on summer. :)

    i agree Miggy and Chev i have sucumbed because i've been running on adrenalin and there's too many bugs, i'd certainly like to see the spring/summer cusp arrive.

    Chev it's a deed of covenant between the flats in the block so they all have to sign it. I still don't understand why i have to bloomin pay for it though as i'm not even included on the thing.

    back to work today and i'm cream crackered already, didn't get a huge amount of sleep last night which isn't helping but i'll struggle along lol

    Morning Lemon

    Hope you are feeling a bit better. That is superb news about you being so close to your DF date. Absolutely brilliant. You have done so well. Hopefully you will be moved in and settled by then. I am sure you are sickened with all involved.

    hi all, i did get some sleep last night but had a pretty late night because we attended my neices concert and didn't get home till after 11pm.

    i can't believe that i am so close to my DF date, it's been close before but never this close. It's lovely to know that's its all going to co-incide with the move so it's a completely new life ahead of us. I won't make any permenant decisions about things till we're in the house, got the new budgets sorted and i actually have the money in my pockets aka bank account. They may say 28days but we all know how reliable banks are when they have to give you money for free.
