Today ( house wise ) , surprisingly uneventful . No offer in the post from chase Buchanan .No emails . No phone calls .
I guess they are waiting for the buyers to get themselves together .

Looked at a few properties online , and emailed some to my friend to assess.

Tomorrow will probably ,be all systems go.

Hey AC, what exactly are you waiting for from CB? Just a letter telling you what you already know? I would be very inclined to give them a call in the a.m. rather than just waiting around for someone else to act, myself. Just a thought.

Thanks smodlet . My concern is, they took about a month before they made an offer. They could change their mind , so I don't want to get a solicitor on board until I know for sure that they are going ahead with the purchase .

So, I rested my foot yesterday . This morning I will see if I can make it to the doctors. I assume / hope they can bandage it and I'll be ok to go back.

Because it is very hot, I'm hoping to go back to work on Friday . I'm supposed to be doing a long day working solo on Friday , as my colleague will be off.
We will see

Went to the surgery - nurse busy all week. Doctors appointments only .
So, I decided not to do that and just stay at home until Friday .
I am a little breathless today . Partly because I haven't eaten anything ,partly because of myasthenia and partly because I'm massively overweight . This humid weather does not help.

Will phone boss and tell her

Come on now AC that breathlessness is not a good sign. You know that.

Start eating properly and you will start to lose weight. Start today, never mind about waiting until you have moved.....you need to get a handle on that right now. Even 1 stone will help.

Today will be hot and the air quality in London will be poor. My sister has asthma and it was on days like this that she would really struggle when she lived in London and she wasn't overweight. She would often be hospitalised.

Please take care today, stay indoors if you have to. Rest your foot, a support bandage might help. You can buy these at any chemist, they will advise what size etc.

And please start tackling that weight ........it will be at least 2 to 3 Months before your sale goes through. You could lose two stones in three months if you put your mind to it.;)

Well LL time to be brutally honest .. With you , everyone here and myself of course !:)

I went on a massive binge of crisps and Pringles for about 3 months .
When I went to caffe Nero over the last couple of months , I've been mainly having those cold, milky frappocinos.
So I've noticed now , enough is enough .
Not touched those since Friday . Never again .

I would say , after 2 weeks ignoring crisps and frappucino the weight will come down .
No Lucozade since Friday either . In fact , no fizzy drinks since Friday full stop .
It's Volvic all the way.

Amazing really . Crisps now make my chin red with rosacea and my skin dry. This morning , that's gone .,Improvement already .

Phoned boss she s fine . I'm off till Friday . Foot isn't as bad .still bruisy, but the rest will be good.

LL : the breathlessness- it will be ok. I don't want to be admitted to Hosp again for a week . Last year , a mixup led to me not getting enough prednisolone . TBH , eating those crisps ( which is artificial food really) does not help things.
Once I have my breakfast , I'll be ok:)

When the weather gets cooler, I'll exercise as well .

Thanks

AC, that's understandable, however there is nothing to stop you asking for quotes locally, and again from your previous solicitor. Especially as your at home and have the time to do so.


That will cost you nothing.


You'll then be in a position to go ahead and instruct when the written offer comes in, even at that point you can instruct your solicitor not to do any work until the buyers survey has been done, by which time they will have invested funds on survey/mortgage application which should be enough to convince you of their intent.

We still have light early mornings, when your foot is better why not use the cooler early mornings to get out and start your day with 30-60 minutes walking in a local park, start with 30 minutes and gradually increase. You cannot lose much weight by just changing your eating habits, although that is a good start, you must increase your exercise rate as well.

I get up at 5 am, as I start early at work .
One of the reasons why I'm quitting . I'm stuck on shifts, often changing them and often working solo from 7.15- 5.20 then the commute home .
