Moved!

August 16, 2005

[Catching up on last week's activities] Pretty much all of yesterday was spent moving. I had hoped that Crest Nicholson might not manage to get anything wrong on the day, but they even managed to make something as simple as handing the keys over unnecessarily complicated. But first…

Exchange!

July 27, 2005

I’ve just had the call from the solicitors to say that we’ve finally exchanged contracts. You wouldn’t believe how much effort that’s been over the last few days. I’ve got copious notes to put up here, but it’s been so busy that I’ve not had the time yet. More detail to follow tomorrow.
