Life begins at.... some time before 70?!

Hope you are able to move ASAP

Regarding worrying about the lender withdrawing the mortgage offer.....

I worked for the Halifax for 28 years, most of that time in mortgages, and I can't remember a single offer being withdrawn.

So that's the least of your worries!

Glad you're remaining optimistic, just wish that final confirmation was through for you so you could relax a bit and get on to that next exciting phase of your to do list (yes, even the oven cleaning part)!

Fingers crossed here for you, even if you end up without t'internet and can't feel the good luck vibes through the MSE boards ... will still be wishing the best for you all and hoping the stress is soon over. X

Thanks again for the kind words! Lovely to know that I am not alone!

Good things today
I survived Monday! :T
My eB4y listing sold with a Buy it Now - hah, 12 watchers - you snooze you lose! Maybe could've made more if people had bidded, but it was £29 profit after the PPal and eB4y vultures take a slice, already in my OP account, so that is a :T.
TT of 34p
Emailed the carpet man, no reply yet, will call tomorrow.

Naughty things
Am decluttering some fake P1mms that I found in Ald1 when I innocently :A went to get fizzy water...
Have not packed anything this evening (probably due to first point)

In other news, still HOT :eek:
No solicitor news - tomorrow?

I've done that before....... they sneakily put the alcohol opposite the lemonade and it's so easy to get mixed up :rotfl:.

I think I have made the same mistake by putting them close in the fridge as well.

Right! I know being British means we aren't supposed to complain when it is hot, we are supposed to be grateful for a brief respite from the rain, and we are supposed to be stoic about said rain.... but !!!!!! it is HOT! :eek::eek::eek:

No air conditioning in office and we start off ok but by 2pm are gibbering and not getting anything done. This clearly = seista time, but we don't have those, do we? We have mad dogs and englishmen. While I am moaning - why can't solicitors call when they say they will? :mad:

End of moan - summary: small email today to advise that a fax should be/have been received this afternoon, which I think represents the final piece of the puzzle. So - exchange and completion dates sorted tomorrow? I remain hopeful. In an exhausted and cynical sort of way....

Good things:
TT of 66p yesterday and 1p today
Quidco money of £8.20 tidied into MOP account.
Provisional dates for carpets and move have been agreed, fingers painfully crossed that these do not need to be re-re-arranged

Hope everyone is doing ok and has not melted like the witch in Wizard of Oz - I think it could be any minute for me!

:T My solicitor says I should be ok for exchange and completion on Wednesday next week, she can't see any problem with that, which is as close to certainty as I am going to get I think! :j:j:j

Happy things
TT of 64p
Tezco delivery tonight with loads of yummy salad
Get paid tomorrow :j
Now I can start on the list!
