plonkee bought a house

Filed Under house, plonkee 

Well, after a few short panics I’m the very proud owner of a tiny little two bedroom terraced house.

The panics were caused by my solicitor’s assistant who didn’t notice that the money had transferred overnight to them to pay for the property. She then phoned me three times and left urgent messages for me at work and on my mobile phone voicemail. I got out of a meeting at midday thinking that the sky was falling in. When I finally got through, it turned out that the she simply hadn’t seen the money in the ledger - didn’t leave that on a message though :( . Still, alls well that ends well - I need to pick up the keys later.
