Sorry for the lack of posts since early June, but its been a tough ride to get to where we are. Despite everyone's best efforts (you know who you are!) we have been surrounded by others who just can't seem to get their act together!
But no more. This week I personally started cracking the whip and put the fear of God into everyone from the lowliest of the low upwards. Nothing like sending an email from work with the signature 'Senior Associate, Commercial Litigation' to get things moving.
Suffice to say, things are now sorted, the last of the relevant documents has been signed, the stars are aligned in the sky so it must be nearly time to settle.
We are told that settlement may take place this afternoon (rubbish), more likely tomorrow (less rubbish) but I've logged onto BetFair and have put a few dollars on Monday or Tuesday. Both are fine.
Once that happens we can then use some of the proceeds of the sale to purchase a little car we've got our eye on (a '$3k special' to do us for the next few years while we build, pay off the mortgage and consolidate). Once the car is ours, we'll be able to start posting photos of the block and the build (due to start 7 August).
Anyway, odds are for settlement early next week and chances that it gets delayed further are slim - but if not, if anything goes wrong....
