    Our test payment has just been sent to the solicitors ready to transfer the deposit over once they’ve confirmed receipt! 😬😬🤞🤞 
    Exciting!! Bluestone have come back with a few questions for me one of them being why my middle name is on my self assessment but not on my passport!! They would need to ask her majesty! Lol My middle name is on my birth certificate which is used to obtain the passport so only god knows why it’s not on there. I’m wondering how long after they have the answers will it take for an offer…
    Oh the joys of the difficult I’d part! 
    Have you had your valuation done yet? If so I can’t see much more left for you other than offer after the answers!!

    Yeh the valuation was done on 10th August and they came with a few questions today. I’ve answered them already and sent my birth certificate and the kitchen sink back to them!!! Honestly this is the most stressful thing I’ve ever done my anxiety is through the roof and I keep checking my emails every hour!!😩
