Yesterday we went to the solictiors and gave him copies of our ID (and paid him 169 for the Council Searches and Environmental Search), went to the bank and opened a joint account and went to the Crest Nicholson office again to see exactly the kitchen and tile choices that have been made.

We are a bit happier with the kitchen worktops now, the black granite looks quite smart with the oak cupboards. Also light blue tiles have been chosen for the downstairs bathroom, which is lucky as we had been buying light blue accessories for it!

We are both really worried that things will go according to plan as things seem to be going a bit too well at the moment, surely something has to go wrong at some point? I just hope we get the mortgage as promised by the Mortrgage Advisor. He seemed pretty convinced it wouldn’t be a problem. We go on holiday on July 8th, so I hope it is all sorted by then, I don’t want to be worrying for 2 weeks while we are in France.
