I was expecting to be on here today telling you that the house was sold, but you guessed it...... another delay!!!
It'll be the 16th November now. I don't even know why, I've lost interest, if I was in Mrs shoes I'd be losing the rag by now.
Nothing else to report thankfully, been ill last few days so not been out the door. Need to get some exercise in this week, hoping to be under 15st at this Saturday's weigh in and with 7 weeks til xmas it's going to be tough to reach my target but I'm determined!

It gets worse......
Completion has now been pushed back to December!!!!!
Buyer has requested a licence to occupy - which we have declined - as they cannot have their funds released for a set time due to constraints with whatever funding method it is that they are using. This is getting ridiculous.
Mrs is on the verge of putting the house back on the market at this stage.You can have results or excuses, but not both.Challenge - be 14 Stone BY XMAS!

OMG it all sounds awful,
We are in NW England and sold ours in a month early in the year... It then took 3 months to get our vendors to agreed on their break up finances from 7 years prior.
sounds as if you were right to say no to occupy … keeping fingers crossed for you.Mortgage restart June 2018 £119950Re mortgage August 19 £110470, … Mortgage November 22 £85600 final 0% CC 3300Home renovations - £65000, mid 2018 - mid 20220 -

That is so frustrating :mad:"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0

Thanks for all the comments and for tolerating my moaning, it is very frustrating!
On a happier note, my weight has dropped into the 14's for the first time in years, but I still have 11lbs to go to get to the weight I want to be, which I'm determined to get off by Xmas! I lost an amazing 7lbs this week!
Financially, everything is just ticking over at the moment. We're going to be combining finances once the house is sold so when Mrs has received whatever money she's due we'll see where we stand.
Next up for me will be cancelling her mobile contract, which I can do on 6th Dec. Hitting year 2's plan early, starting as I mean to go on! You can have results or excuses, but not both.Challenge - be 14 Stone BY XMAS!
