    Good luck everyone for news before the bank holiday weekend!  

     I've been on tenterhooks for last 3 days waiting to hear if our buyer is ready for exchange and will agree to complete on 16th September  :# Solicitor going on holiday at 5pm today until the 14th so I am really really hoping something is decided by the end of today! 

    In a way I'm looking forward to the bank holiday weekend and a 3 day rest from checking emails/constantly looking at my phone lol
