Other half and dog moved up today to lodge with friends so I'm now working the 9-5 whilst trying to pack. On the plus side I've found 3 boxes of magnums in the freezer which need eating 😂
when are you competing? So excited for you!!!
1.5 stones for me.. Pre-magnums** 😂

That's so true! The day after we exchanged I was still refreshing emails and then thought.... Why am I even still doing this!!!
It'll happen for you, rooting for you!!!!2 -
18 more working days to end of SDLT holiday. (And yeah I know it tapers from 1/7, but really I think we all want to save many thousands with paying £0!)
Gotta make every day count now! Hope that so many of us get it over the line in next few weeks!!1 -
Still here! Friday was meant to be exchange day for our chain, but at 3:30 we found out our vendor´s hadn´t even signed the paperwork and they want to exchange and complete on the same day (next week)!!! Not ideal when we´re in a chain, and everyone else has already booked removals etc for this Friday! I think it will be a long week for me0

That happened to us @Josephgousto. We were due to exchange and found out the bottom of the chain hadn't had contracts sent out so to be fair to them they drove up to Leeds from London to sign them in the office. Just hated being kept in the dark as the agents had said all ready to go!1

Good luck to everyone this week. Hoping we do get the survey today and can move towards exchange.0

though on my sale 6 years ago I did E&C same day and it went smoothly so I’m sure yours will too!1 -
