Congrats! I guess there's still time for us, although we haven't had a call for authority today, so I don't think it will happen. Trying not to think too much about it or get my hopes up.Mizydoscape said:

Thank you @bird@birdmadgirl8 ! We did the same with ours but it didn’t seem like they were going to when we spoke. They said had over 150 pictures!! Still, they have at least replaced fittings with bulbs so we have light. Small mercies!birdmadgirl8 said:
Aww thank you! ☺️ I'll be thinking of you on Monday. I hope it all goes to plan. Great to hear you still love the new house. One of the jobs on my list of things to do as soon as we exchange is to take down pictures (we have way too many), so that I can fill holes. You never know, your sellers might be planning to do that job before they vacate...ss2020jd said:
Thank you @birdmadgirl8 good to see you on here again. Hoping that it’s not too long for you now. Just read your update - it is definitely a rollercoaster and stress fest. 🤪 I hope it all comes together soon and stays together.birdmadgirl8 said:Hi everyone ☺️ I've finally caught up on the thread after taking a break. Massive congratulations to all those who have exchanged/completed. Hooray for @Monsternextdoor @Cookie211 @WorriedKirkels @bailyleykxo @cheeky-peach @tanpopo @Rincewindcl @ss2020jd @MayMark @vixst @neydejean @Kazzam1984 @Elle83 @toniq @clare19811 @Ally_E. @heartofzinc @James-may @mat1964🎉🎉🎉
It's a comfort to see that some long time companions on here have made it & gives me hope that we might too. If you've completed, I wish you happiness in your new homes 🌻
Sometimes before the lowest point things start picking up pace so I hope that happens for you. Our exchange was a daily rollercoaster of will it won’t it for a week before it happened and it was even worse when selling. Anyway I hope some of our exchange magic dust vibes make their way over to you.We are hoping to complete Monday 🤞 funds transferred to solicitor so hope it all goes to plan after the delayed completion on selling which apparently never happens! But we got there in the end and sure you will too. We went round to view the house again this week and are so excited again (apart from the millions of holes in the wall 😬 which is a small price to pay for having everything left as expected and agreed - hope it stays like that ‘til we get the keys!).
I hope you are there very soon will keep keeping all crossed for you and good luck to everyone who’s close and congratulations to those who have had positive news! 🎉Best of luck with it all.1 -
