Get a grip !

At least he's reappeared, hopefully you'll get the survey and report soon.

We got boxes from the supermarket for free, they're a decent size for filling, without being too big to carry / move about.

Glad surveyor has phoned that will be money saved on a more expensive one. You are packing already which is such hard work well done. Well done on doing the washing.

The surveyor should contact the estate agent tomorrow to arrange the survey with the sellers 

I need to phone the solicitor about the form they sent me. It has the correct address for the property I am buying but for some strange reason they have changed my current address to that of the property which fell through. I’m sure it will be soon sorted. 

I tried to get boxes from the main supermarkets in town & I have tried local stores but cannot get any. I am going to buy some from wilco but will have to order online as there is none due in store until 1 October 

I am working from home tomorrow. I need to boil some eggs for work lunches this week. I have the sausages cooked earlier today too and fruit. Plus ham and bread rolls. Total spend in mr T today £6

Hurrah for the surveyor let's wish for the form to be corrected by the solicitors. I wonder why they ran out of boxes at the supermarkets? Well done in working round it. You can do this!!!!!

Crawling my way to the weekend. No contact from the surveyor since Sunday. 🙁 I am going to try and book an hour off on Friday afternoon so I can visit my 2dogs friend who has moved & get a lift with one of the girls in our group who is driving. 

In the office again today. May need petrol tomorrow. If I can get time off on Friday I will probably give the girl driving some money for petrol as it is a long drive

Has he contacted the EA to book in? 

Hope you can get the time off, the trip will do you good.

It has been hot this afternoon but the light is fading and it is cooler now. 

Received a call from estate agent this morning & survey is now booked in for 2 weeks from now. Phoned the solicitor and he has emailed me some of the searches and info from sellers. I need to have a good look at them & pass on any concerns to my surveyor. 

Have been for a walk with my no-dogs friend and she bought us a Diet Coke in the pub. Am just cooking chicken Kiev and sweet potato fries from the freezer for dinner. In the office again tomorrow so I put £10 petrol in the car on my way home. 

I cannot get time off on Friday but my boss has said I can start at 8 instead and finish at 2pm so I have arranged for one of the girls to give me a lift to 2-dogs friends new house. Nothing else planned for the weekend. It’s a bank holiday on Monday so only 4 days work next week 🤗

It's moving in the right direction and you can relax a bit while waiting for the report.

Good compromise for Friday 😊

So glad it’s the weekend. Yesterday was a horrendous work day with yet more work forced on us without any training. At least we have a bank holiday on Monday. 

Yesterday was an early dog walk, an early work start & finish. One of the girls picked me up and 4 of us went to 2-dogs friends new house. I took her a bottle of plonk £6.99 and a “new home” card £1.99. I found a wine carrier in my gift stash so the plonk looked ok in a glittery bag. 

I offered the girl driving some petrol money but she wouldn’t take any. We had a drink in the garden and a tour of the lovely house, an old railway cottage, then went to the pub for dinner where I spent £17.99. Food was lovely and we had lots of chat and laughter. I also got some free boxes for packing from my 2-dogs friend.
