Saturday and today we have had snow. And bitterly cold temperatures with windchills in the negative teens (F). We continue on with our days: working, watching the Littles on Saturday mornings, chores, and I finished our income tax bookwork Saturday afternoon. It is all ready to be dropped off at the accountant on Monday. I'm always thankful to have that job done (for another year.) I'm eager to spend my Saturdays sewing on quilts. It's been way too long.

I was surprised by how even it was after I went over everywhere a couple of times in different direction. Another friend did it the other way. She took her hands out as far as she could before she ran out of hair, and then cut underneath her fingers. Try that next time if you don't like your No6 cut.Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06864657381173674455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-50363291717507803162021-02-06T23:43:35.398+00:002021-02-06T23:43:35.398+00:00Cash buyers can of course opt out of searches beca...Cash buyers can of course opt out of searches because the requirement for the land registry search is demanded by the mortgage lenders.

I have attended a local authority to do my own searches in the past but I believe most authorities have now banned this provision due to Covid and will not have the general public in their offices. I was a search clerk in Newcastle Planning Office for a couple of years, all maps and plans and drawings, now I guess a lot of it is on computer.

We sent a huge pack of documents through to our solicitors that were requested for our house sale, Alan accidentally sending the originals instead of the photocopies ... and very stupidly not even using registered post ... and nothing happened for over a week. Then they got in touch with us asking for the documents, we said we had sent them and that they should have received them by now. Nope they said definintely not. We had a very worrying 48 hours before we got an email to say, 'we've found your documents they were just in the wrong pile' !! So it's all systems go again with the sale, although the buyers have now had to change solicitors and start all over again and they have just had to admit to NOT having sold their home as we had originally been told, their sale is just starting to go through.<br /><br />I'll not tell you about the purchasing of our new places as that is a whole other essay!!Sue https://www.blogger.com/profile/04947919568474743963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-62247194899192533312021-02-06T15:35:53.780+00:002021-02-06T15:35:53.780+00:00I too love the subtitled dramas set in little hear...I too love the subtitled dramas set in little heard of places - I know far more about Iceland for example.<br />TrishWishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12133314088190424463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-65721476186543845962021-02-06T15:05:35.946+00:002021-02-06T15:05:35.946+00:00Hello Sue,

And, surely, it will be a good thing if some changes happen when things return to a more usual pace.<br /><br />For us, appreciating acts of kindness has definitely been a plus. In the past, one may have taken things much more for granted but, now, the smiling face, the kind enquiry is much more precious and valued than ever before.<br /><br />And, amidst all the chaos, what excitement to be moving. A new chapter is waiting to be written.<br /><br />Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-79374246857198722012021-02-06T14:33:06.919+00:002021-02-06T14:33:06.919+00:00I feel like I've had plenty of practice moving...I feel like I've had plenty of practice moving in the last 6 years - hopefully no more for a whileSue in Suffolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166036914348424622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-67270798999636985742021-02-06T14:25:46.407+00:002021-02-06T14:25:46.407+00:00I hope there is snow for all my grandchildren to e...I hope there is snow for all my grandchildren to enjoy - but just for a couple of days - no longer!Sue in Suffolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166036914348424622noreply@blogger.com
