I don't watch dr who, but bigger on the inside is right certainly. Nice people are an amazing group of people.

Amen to that sister!

Thanks for the welcome Sorry no, no and I live in Suffolk

Just browsing back a bit chewmylegoff we got a mortgage through FD last year. Was very useful being able to ring up and not have to go through a call centre and FD staff knowledgeable and helpful. The only hiccup was that they decided to 'review' the mortgage offer between exchange and completion. Goodness knows why but did manage to get it sorted in time.

Was on YouGov earlier and they had a survey about which countries should be able to join the EU - including Morocco, Kazakhstan and Israel. I am wondering if Europe has been redefined while I wasn't looking

Yippe! Finally someone from my part of Greater Herts!

Welcome to the thread Better Days

I'm running on adrenaline I think.
Solicitors advise they can get surveys done (not just valuation survey). Am I better to go with them or engaging my own?

Will be speaking with broker tomorrow to get that ball rolling.

I want to start packing now...



I have 2 daleks. Both brimming full. I want to take them so am not looking forward to emptying them...:o

I'm sure you've understood right, but just in case - they don't mean the local govt/ is the house built on a mine/ flooding type surveys do they? That said, I'm sure if you're using a local solicitor (I didn't), I'm sure they'll have a pet surveyor.

From what I read, the main thing people said was that it was often a better idea not to use the bank's surveyor - means paying for two people to visit, but usually if the bank just have to schedule in a valuation it would often happen sooner, and you're not stuck with their panel surveyor if they are a bit rubbish (there are a few names which seem to crop up on the Mortages board).

I ended up picking mine via google. He was ok, there were perhaps a couple of things he should have mentioned (he couldn't really have missed them!).

I was pretty good at not packing in my head - but I didn't have that much stuff over here to move. And I am the same person who didn't tell many people about her new job in case it fell through I generally take planning for the worst a little too far!

I use this phrase at work when encouraging someone to revise their approach/practice.

Ah thanks LIR
This thread feels a bit like Dr Who - bigger on the inside than on the outside, parellel universes, alternate realities but not quite so much running around, however I've seen no Dalek's ..... so far

Stick around.

A few months ago under the influence of strong painkillers I was hallucinating and saw a dalek in our local coop. After a couple of stares it morphed into a cylindrical display stand full of wine bottles.

The accountancy joke book has gone out to the recycling. I hope no one was waiting for another joke?
