    Cracking work, you'll get through your list in no time :)

    Just wondering, are you watching the football? I was thinking of you when I won my bet yesterday.

    I'm not watching the Germany game as ds is watching some programme about how air traffic controllers do their job :o I did watch the Poland / N Ireland game earlier. I haven't bet on any though as I dont want loads of betting transactions on my bank statements until my mortgage is completely sorted :)

    Ah, of course. I didn't think of that. I think my favourite game so far has been the Wales game, mainly for the promo before hand featuring Manic Street Preachers, one of my favourite bands.

    The Wales game was good, most of them have been so far. Just hope the fans and the security is a bit better for our next game :cool:

    I went to carry on with the train stuff and somehow Word had closed itself and has lost what I'd done so far :(

    Hey ho, time for bed then and a mooch on pinterest for some house ideas :)

    Morning all, i rang the mortgage company again last night and apparently I should hear today :cool: Getting a bit irritated with it now as it's dragging on and my broker has gone on holiday so I'm having to do the chasing :(

    I cashed out a £10 voucher from a survey site this morning, that will go towards new paint or something exciting like a doorbell when I move :D

    So today was a good day - I got my mortgage offer, I got my survey report and the solicitor has got all the searches back :j My buyers have signed their contract apparently.

    However, my solicitor still hasn't heard from my landlord (leasehold property), so he and I are both chasing him. I really hope he doesn't hold it up too long :(

    Think I might get on with some packing tonight though :D
