Is it done? Erm, nope.

So, we have a completion date of the 20th of February 2015!!
We’ve had a nice Christmas break and although I’ve tried my best not to think about it, at the back of my mind has been the vague notion that it’s all going to go horribly wrong at the last minute. The church will have had a better offer and is going to back out. The solicitors will go bust taking the money with them.
The Land Registry will be privatised and we’ll have to start again. The gods will look down on us and wash the building into the sea just to teach us not to get ideas above our station. One of us will fall ill. We’ll lose our jobs and a myriad of other thoughts which fly around waiting for validation.
Seven months since we had our offer accepted, this is starting to feel like a board game where no one can throw a six to get things started!
Regardless, the money transfer has been lined up, our solicitor is like a coiled spring ready to get me off their hands as my constant phone calls must be close to harassment at this point and we start the new year with a bit of hope, letting ourselves get excited again.
