It is done, I have handed the keys over about 30 minutes ago.      The removal men are now unloading.
Exchange and completion all on the same day, right up the chain.
Whilst I feeling a huge amount of relief that I am no longer having to pay out and try to maintain it, I do actually feel very sad, and having a cry.  It is the end of that chapter.   Completely alone, but many happy memories in there to recall.    Probably a chance to grieve now as well.
Anyway, guys, those of you who have got your moves in the pipeline, I hope it still goes well and tell us all how it works out     (the new neighbours and their friends, all retired, having all been having a joint hug, along with the removal men !!!!)     I am keeping right out of the way.

At last Mrs B, a huge weight off your mind, after such a long time... I hope they make nice neighbours once thing get settled down

Congratulations, not surprised your having a sob, the end of an era, but didn’t you say your daughter lives the other side of you?

[Growster...]

After all this time, you're worth a sob and a sigh of relief, Mrs B!

Well done That Gal - you won out!

I'm sure that even as you don't drink, a small glass of Port will be just the thing to make you feel even better!

Growster! A Lady has a Port and Lemon, really, remember protocol!

Fantastic news! I've been bashing heads on our move again today. I'm determined to get this over the line and done even if I have to hire a van and do the move myself.

Another lady I know loves a port and brandy. Two parts port and one part brandy really does the trick when your in the need of a warm hug.

Methinks our house move is going to be delayed for quite a while as we're currently in lockdown and aren't going out unless necessary. We've only gone as far as going over the mighty tomes of our solicitor's docs, made some comments, then emailed them back. We were hoping to get most of our things packed up in readiness for the move but we need a lot of help from others which isn't possible at the moment. We can't get another skip and were relying on our in-laws and friends to lend a hand with packing and providing transport, but never mind. All will be done in the fineness of time then, when this is all over, we'll pack up our troubles in our old kit bag and smile all the way to our new home.

Well done Mrs B all sorted now have a drink on me 

[Yorkie]

You've been waiting a long time for this, Mrs B, so you're bound to have mixed emotions

I'm afraid it had to happen, Goosey, but even lawyers need their dosh, so be a little patient, and you'll be fine!

What a rotten time you're going through - I wouldn't wish that on anybody, so just hang in there, and look forward to some brighter days ahead!

The clocks 'spring forward'' tomorrow, and so will you!

My Son is a Lawyer, with his own Company.   On Friday he had to advise the Staff that they must all take a furlough now.    They are all good people who have been with him many years.    He was absolutely devastated to have to do this but, no house sales - no work !!  It will get better.    Mrs Bouquet
