So, what happened today?

[K.D.D.D.D.Soc]

Picked up keys for my first house yesterday (I couldn't find the "what happened yesterday" thread).

If I can stay here for the rest of my life, to avoid having to deal with solicitors / estate agents / mortgage brokers ever again I will! What a bizarre industry. Waiting for completion yesterday, slightly nervy as I'd booked furniture to be delivered today and wanted to get downstairs painted over the weekend.

I called the estate agent on my break and they say:
"We haven't heard anything from your solicitor"

So I say "Ah okay, should I chase them up?"

"Oh no it's fine I'll do it now"

It's like these people are just sitting down eating sandwiches / scratching their arse waiting to be pestered and then they might do something. Super odd.

But it's over now at least, GG house party at mine if we win a game this season?

Congratulations a real red letter day for you. It can be a very stressful day, the only time the "professionals" in that game move quickly is when they want your money.
