It's been seven days since my last blog......

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER  2ND

We again spent the day at the house waiting for the heating to be commissioned...oh joy! oh joy!....the warmth was divine, mind you it took absolutely ages for the house to heat up...had to laught tho...since we have insulfluff in the roof, when the heating came on, every room had fluff on the floor......the only thing that has to be changed will be in the kitchen area, here we have a large duct, which just happens to be the first port of call off the unit, it is so loud...sounds like we've left the rangehood on, so they are going to extend the duct work to make the pipe longer so eleminate the noise.
Tony had been in communication with our Broker all week trying to get our cheque organised......we had a call.....from our bank.....yes!...our cheque would be ready around 2ish...NO!!...REALLY!!!  OH,  MY GOD!!!!!!!
Rang Porter Davis and left a message for our CSC...and blow me down if she didn't actually return the call, arranged to have handover at 3pm.  I tell you there was much excitement...did we let the kids know...nope, thought we would suprise them.
Got back to Adrians, so we could get changed out of the grubby clothes etc....the bank rang, there would be a delay with the cheque as they had a nationwide computer shut down.....they would ring us when the cheque was ready...bugger...rang our CSC to let her know, she said to just come in when we got the cheque, so it was no set time....so we filled our time by going down to the storage units and packing bits and pieces into the back of the car to take to 'OUR' house.
We decided to go to the bank to enquire as to how long they thought they would be out of action for....WHAT!!! everything was working, so much for the phone call.
Got the cheque, got a bit nervous now........drove to Porter Davis.....our CSC was free......got the keys....signed some paperwork, joined the PD Rewards scheme....while talking to her the Regional Manager just happened to walk by..hmmmm........Tony had previously sent an email to the Admin Manager telling him we didn't want her to do handover...think they were waiting for us to explode at her....she was really nervous, it was fun watching her squirm...

WE HAVE A HOME!!!!!!   We are no longer homeless.
