Well we didn't exchange today, but that was probably asking a little bit too much. We're all still hopeful for tomorrow though http://www.bigblueball.com/im/msn/images/68.jpg so keep that champagne on ice for just a little bit longer.

Good luck LEE lets hope its all sorted tomorrow:thumbs::thumbs:

Good luck Lee

Looks like its going to be tomorrow now :mad: I think I am beginning to lose the will to live. :bawling:

I hate my solicitor. I would never recommend her to anyone else, she has been useless, never does anything unless you chase her, never gets back to me or my Estate Agent or my vendors solicitor, and this morning she told my vendors solicitor that there wasn't a completion date yet and that it was still open ended :mad: even though she had spoken to me half an hour earlier and agreed we were all gunning for the 5th Feb. This got my vendor all fired up and threatening to pull out again - I have managed to calm him down though and he's not going to do anything providing we exchange this week - which please God we will.

I phoned her up and she says she never said anything of the kind and they must have got the wrong end of the stick, but I'm afraid I don't believe her as I know how useless and non commital she has been to me over the last few weeks.

When all this is over I am making a formal complaint to her boss.

I will not need my new house now as I will be in prison for murder :mad:

Perhaps you could persuade her to be a contestant on BB5 instead LEE?

And laugh as she gets voted out first .... ! :joker::joker:

Another day dawns. Another day we hope to exchange http://www.bigblueball.com/im/msn/images/68.jpg

Still I'm very glad I'm not moving today anymore with all this snow about, its not too bad down here but I have just heard on the news that it is snowed up not too far from my new home, so I think it would have been a nightmare :shocked:

Lee I hope it all happens today for you:thumbs:
We have quite a few inches of snow here:bawling::bawling:
I don't normally mind snow but was expecting a playhouse to be delivered today and they can't get near:bawling::bawling:I know I know a stupid time to decide to have a playhouse delivered:shocked::shocked:
and it looks like there will be no birthday party for my little boy this weekend:bawling::bawling::bawling:

Hope you are jumping up and down in celebration today Lee:thumbs::thumbs:

Do we hear a yes yet ?????



Hope so XXX fingers crossed LEE

No it isn't a yes.

Though it really ought to be tomorrow.

Sorry but I just don't feel like talking about it at the moment cos I am soooooo pisssed off.

Right I m not quite so worked up now. Its amazing what a couple of Buds can do to calm you down lol :laugh:

What actually happened over the last couple of days is this.

The day before yesterday the Italian guys mortgage offer was approved and got sent out to the solicitor, it arrived yesterday he went in and signed his contract and paid his deposit, but for some annoying reason he didn't get around to doing this until 4pm :mad: so it was too late to exchange.

This morning we went to exchange and suddenly the solicitor for the Rowes (the original buyers from hell with the Woolwich and the reduced offer - remember them lol ) suddenly realised that his clients hadn't signed something they needed to - I mean come on, what do we pay these people for for gods sake :mad: - so Mr Rowe had to rush over from work to sign his paperwork and he couldn't get there till just after lunch.

At this point we still thought we would just about make exchange today.

Then the solicitor for the Italian guy refused point blank to exchange cos he said his client wasn't happy with the 5th for completion day. Now this was completely inaccurate as my estate agent had spoken to the guy this morning and he was completely happy with the 5th, so we had to contact the italian guy direct and ask him to go and kick his solicitor and get him moving. This he did and he instructed his solicitor to exchange NOW!!!!! with a completion date for the 5th and that he was 100% happy with this!

That was at about 4:30 and we were all waiting for something to happen, but the italian guys solicitor dragged his heels to the point where it was suddenly too late for today as well. :mad:

At this point we all screamed very loudly and went off down the pub!!!!!

There is now no reason under the sun why first thing tomorrow exchange shouldn't happen. My vendors solicitor is ready, so is my solicitor (and that is a miracle in itself - see my earlier post about how much I HATE her lol), so is my buyers solicitor, so is the Rowes solicitor,and if the italian guys solicitor isn't ready now we're all going to go around there personally and stand over him till he is lol

Wish me luck

Good luck and if you need to laugh click my signature that may help for a while :spin2: I hope this works out for you LEE my fingers and toes are well and truly crossed :thumbs:

I'm sure there is nothing else that can go wrong for you now Lesley:conf::conf::conf:
Once again good luck for tomorrow:thumbs::thumbs:
please let us know when its been sorted:thumbs:and we'll all let out a little cheer:hello::hello::hello::love:

I didn't think I could ever hate a solicitor more than I have come to hate my own over the last few months, but the Italian guys solicitor has just taken over her crown.

He is still refusing point blank to complete on the 5th, he says he doesn't have enough time. I'm sorry but that is complete b*&%*!ks, if he had done his job properly in the first place he would have had loads of time and there is no reason under the sun why he couldn't have called the money 2 days ago, or at the very latest yesterday :mad: I hate him :mad::mad::mad: and I have just discovered he is a bloody locum!

We have all now had to agree on a completion date of the 9th instead of the 5th, but as we have done this it should mean that we can exchange today.

I am so angry, I should still be able to move in next week as planned as I had arranged with my vendor to move in early anyway, but I am not sure now what implication this has on the Edinburgh and Glasgow gigs for Sunday and Monday of next week. Don't panic Kaz, the Dundee and Aberdeen ones are definitely on, but god knows whats happening now for the start of the week.

Just when I thought that this couldn't get any worse. :mad:

FANTASTIC NEWS LEE :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

I bet you cant believe it. I think I small party in Boris's tonight might be called for.:joker::joker::joker::joker::joker::joker:

These conveyancers are a breed amongst themselves - from experience of the ones in our firm they seem to draw everything out as long as they can, although as people they are great. Maybe the boring work they do.
:conf::conf::conf::conf:

CONGRATULATIONS

:dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

Fantastic news!!!!!

About time, LEE :thumbs:

:hello::hello::hello::hello::hello:
Congrats Lee and have a drink on me!!!!

Thanks everyone :thumbs:

Now its all happening I have so much to do it's frightening :shocked: I'm actually moving on Tuesday and the removals men are coming around tomorrow to do my packing for me and I am not ready in the slightest. A couple of months ago I was really organised but it has dragged on for so long that I'm certainly not anymore.

Still at least I haven't got to do all my packing myself so I suppose thats a bonus.

I'll see you all in Boris's later for a well deserved drink. :thumbs:

Congratulations... maybe the title of this thread should be changed from Aaaaaaaaaaarrrggghhhhh!!!!!!! to hoooooray!!!!!.

:hello:

Maybe it should :hugesmile: but I am still panicking lol but instead of it being about whether I am going to exchange it is about whether I am going to get everything done in time for tomorrow lol :laugh:

After all the hassle, it must be weird to think that this is finally it and that the move is happening!

Wave to Surrey for me before you go LEE. And hope that the removals people are good (and good-looking too, might brighten up the day a bit!! :hugesmile:)

Can I just say that I was in LEE's new house yesterday and it looks fantastic!

All the time that stupid Italian pillock was messing her around, LEE has completely redecorated and recarpeted the whole house!

Good on ya girl!

:thumbs:


(can't wait for the housewarming!!!!!)

I have soooo much to do still, I was doing quite well yesterday until my buyer, and new friend, Sarah invited me around to dinner. We finished a couple of bottles of Red wine off between us to celebrate the move, and I feel very much the worse for wear this morning - definitely in need one of those hangover cures thats being talked about over at Boris's Bar. :laugh:

Anyway, this will be the last time I am going to be online for a couple of weeks - NTL are coming around later to pick up my digibox and I will therefore lose my internet access :bawling: As I am going up to Scotland almost immediately after my move for a week I will probably not get chance to set up my new wireless broadband until I get back.

Wish me luck guys and I'll see you soon :hugesmile:

Good Luck LEE!!:thumbs::thumbs::love::love::love::thumbs::th umbs:

Good Luck LEE :thumbs: See you in a few weeks :thumbs:

Good luck Lee you deserve it after all the hassles.

Hope those BB momentos are packed safely away:thumbs::thumbs:

Good luck Lee:thumbs:

Hope it all goes well LEE - look forward to seeing you on the other side!

Good luck with the flit, LEE - hope everything goes smoothly and without a hitch! :thumbs:

Maybe you'll be able to put in a 'guest appearance' on the forum when you're here next week for the Dundee gig . . . . . . . . . . can't wait!!!! http://www.gifs-paradies.de/smilies/00001606.gif


See you soon. :wavey:

Hi everyone :hugesmile:

I'm here at Janettes after a VERY busy day.:spin2:

I can't believe how much we've managed to achieve today, the removals men have worked their little socks off and all my stuff is now in my new house, all the furniture is in the right place and a hell of a lot of the boxes are unpacked as well :shocked: I still have a lot to do obviously, but I never thought we would have got this far in just one day.

Anyway I am now going off for a well deserved bath followed by a glass of something. :hugesmile:

Glad it went well Lee. All you need now is a long relaxing holiday to get over all the stress.:thumbs::thumbs:

Great to hear that you are safely moved now, Lee. You certainly deserve a medal after the last few months.

I really hope you are very happy in your new house. See you soon, I hope.

CONGRATULATIONS LESLEY!

All good things come to those who wait........well, something like that!

I hope you will be very, very happy

I also hope you didn't have all of that wine last night!

In case you did, have this on me..
