I'm feeling frustrated by it being a bank holiday today... I so want things to be moving.
Our actual solicitor is back tomorrow so I'm hoping there will be a bit of a shift there, but we heard nothing at all from our solicitors last week, and I have no idea if the answers to enquiries were passed over on Monday like they should have been or if anything came back. And we're still getting a lot of pressure from up the chain about what is happening with our buyer's mortgage offer etc, which nobody seems to know...
Frustrating!Signature down for maintenance :rotfl:2
