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.

[LEE]

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

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 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 - 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.

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

[Amy]

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

[rachb]

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

[LEE]

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 I hate him 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.

[LEE]

WE'VE EXCHANGED!!!!


so lets break out the



and lets all party

[rachb]

: hello::h ello: : hello::h ello:
yay!!!!!
great news LEE lots of luck with the move!

[BusyBee]

FANTASTIC NEWS LEE

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

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.

[BigSister]

CONGRATULATIONS

[Di2001]

Fantastic news!!!!!

[blinkinlovely]

:elephant :

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

[LEE]

Thanks everyone

Now its all happening I have so much to do it's frightening 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.

[James]

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

Maybe it should 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

[kaphc]

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!! )

[Janette]

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!




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

[LEE]

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.

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 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

[rachb]

Good Luck LEE!!:th umbs:

[Amy]
