Strapping young lads.

Sundae · 08-08-2013, 01:20 PM

Moar twins.
Oh, no. Same twins actually.

Abs goes back to school this month.
I must admit I'm not 100% why, because she's only doing two A Levels, which are not enough to go into Higher Education. And they're generic subjects as opposed to ones she is passionate about.

Still, she wants to go back and therefore she has my respect.
It's not up to me to understand or decide what is relevant to her.
And I am pleased for her.

The boys will be going into the college creche, so Mum fitted them out with some new tops.
Bless.

Perhaps Abs should take Digital Photo 101 - take as many photos as required until you get one which works for both subjects

Says me who does not live with two lovely lively 14 month olds...

They sure are cute. I bet they can be a handful

Off for a curry last night, to celebrate an offer being put in on the house.
Things could move very quickly from here. But a colleague at work knows someone in the same predicament. She has a 4.5 month old baby and a four year old daughter, and has been given notice by her Landlord that she will be unable to continue renting from him in 31 days time.

First she did was get on to the Council, who said to her, despite written proof and minors being involved, that she was not considered at risk of homelessness until she could prove she would be homeless in 28 days.

So they really are that intractable.

I'll have to wait and see what happens from here. Mum doesn't realise it, but even with finance in place it's a good six weeks to exchange.
They will probably start moving out immediately, but I can handle that, emotional as it will be.

At least I'll be away from her annoying cough

Anyway.
I've put we in the RFN thread, and my curry in the Dinner thread.

Good luck, Sundae. Interesting times.

Sounds stressful. I know you'll work it out OK though.

That's surprising. Here, if the buyer and seller are both motivated, you can go through offer, negotiation, inspection, closing and key handoff in as little as a week. I'm glad for your sake that you'll have a little more time, though. I'll be telepathically instructing the Council to treat you well from now until then.

Sundae · 03-26-2014, 06:37 AM

The offer had been made and accepted, but next comes the survey.
This needs to be booked, carried out and written up, then submitted to the buyer's lender to ensure they are happy to issue a mortgage on this specific property.

Then there are the solicitors, who take their own sweet time doing everything. Searching land deeds and titles and things (all very mysterious to me). And then getting all of this together for the estate agents, who also - suddenly - have to do mysterious things and treat you (as a buyer) as a low priority now they know you're hooked.

I may be wrong.
But certainly the acceptance was made on Monday and we haven't heard anything back since. So as surveyors and solicitors don't work weekends as far as I know, the week is ticking away fast.

I'll keep you updated!

I love my brother so much.
