  • I'm really trying not to stress about it - what will be will be & all that. But I'm itching to get in there now. We've got so many income-generating ideas that are dependent on us moving. I've been working with a business coach to build a business plan & just want to get going with it. We also wanted to move within the school holidays as DC2 will be changing schools but, as he goes back on Monday, that's not going to happen.

  • So we've finally heard from the solicitor & our buyer wants to complete next week. In theory it's possible, but we still have a few queries to be answered on our purchase, we'll need to find removals at short notice, and I'll need to get time off work. We also need our seller to be in a position to complete next week. It's all starting to feel real now though and like it might actually happen! Excited and nervous!! Eek!!

  • Ah so near! Hope that everything goes through smoothly when solicitor returns from leave.

    The move sounds like it's going to be amazing for you!

  • Next Friday isn't happening. Our seller is having an issue with her ex staking a claim against the property. I'm hoping this is something their solicitor can resolve fairly quickly. Ours thinks it may be another fortnight. That's fine with us as it gives more time to pack and sort removals, but it would be so much easier if we had a definite date. I know this is just what happens with house moves, but the uncertainty is still frustrating.
  • Rather you than me with the moving. Hope things settle soon.

    No progress on the house move.

    We have covid.

    oh no - good luck - take it easy, it will be done and dusted soon enough, just take it one week at a time
    I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
    Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
    Smiling and waving and looking so fine
  • Sorry to hear that. I hope you all recover quickly
