For the last week or so I’ve been chasing around after the bank and my solicitor to try to keep them on their toes so that the mortgage and house can finally be transferred into just my name.

It’s not been particularly stressful so far, just expensive. It’s going to come to somewhere in the region of £600 which doesn’t include the £150 fee that Natwest will add onto the mortgage amount. I’m hoping the whole thing can be sorted in the next week or two. Lizz has had an offer accepted on a new place, so it seems silly that she should still be on pieces of paper linking her to Crown Street. Luckily I believe the mortgage has already been changed, but I don’t know if that counts for anything before I’ve filled out some forms for the new mortgage.

I’d just like to take a moment to say how absolutely brilliant it has been to use Natwest’s free callback service. I put my phone number in, say I want a phone call in so many minutes and they call me. It saves me looking all over the Internet for an outdated 01 or 02 number that I can call from my mobile phone. Thanks Natwest. 🙂

So yeah, that’s what I’m doing with my life at the moment. Exciting stuff, huh?
