Friday 12th September. In which something finally goes right.

The estate agent finally phoned back at 5pm today to tell us that the people buying our house were only asked for their deposit at 1pm TODAY!  So all the times their solicitor said it had been paid she was LYING.

But anyway it has, apparently, definitely been paid and will be in the account on Tuesday.  So we can complete on Wednesday.  We have no idea why it should take so long, we paid ours last week and it took two hours to show in the account.  Anyway Daddy goes back to the cottage to ask if Wednesday is OK.   They phoned their movers who said yes but if they change it again they will have to be the full amount twice.  Cheeky sods I say.  Our movers say Wednesday is good for them so we pay our money and start packing at long last.  Yes you read that right.  We are moving in five days and we haven't started packing.  We were all so worried about it falling through we didn't dare.
