Hope your seller is footing the bill, once you’ve exchanged contracts any delays at a minimum should have the costs paid along the chain by the responsible party or parties. It’s there in the contract generally. If they didn’t do it, they get the money from whoever did.
Sounds like a wonderful solicitor assuming they were yours... aren’t they meant to keep you up to date?
I was on the phone to the seller’s estate agent pretty much daily trying to get updates when we first purchased, as delays down the chain meant we ended up spending a good month or two more in a rental than we needed and every £625 matters when you’ve just blown a lot of your savings on a deposit.

My solicitor was mostly on the ball with mine, till the last hurdle anyway, but theirs was awful. Took 4 months with no chain, they'd take a week to respond to a fax even though the answer was usually to ask for more information!

I tried to leave a bad review for our seller’s solicitor as they were beyond awful, but they had TrustPilot delete it as we “weren’t a customer” as if only paying customers have things to say regarding a business

I'm sure I've just heard a brief rumble of thunder and followed by a downpour and strong winds.
I checked my phone and was reassured to read that it was only a brief shower and gentle breeze. Good old BBC weather forecasting.

I heard a massive clap of thunder , followed by a massive downpour for a few minutes , earlier as well. Did see it forecast for parts of the country earlier on google news.
Timed my 2 & half hour walk perfectly ! Had just got home nice and dry a few minutes earlier .

Just arrived back after driving to the Tesco express to get some milk and there was an Amazon delivery van outside my house.
I parked the car on the drive and the delivery guy walked to the front door and asked for my details.
He then refused to give me the parcel unless I had my driving licence to prove I was over 18. Apparently me driving a vehicle and saying I was 58 weren't good enough for him.
He was about to take the parcel away when I remembered I hadn't unloaded all of the Izaac Walton Brewhouse beers from my car. When I showed him those he finally conceded that I must be old enough and gave me my parcel.
What it is to appear to be under the age of 18, eh?

Then they look 12 years old and can't get served for owt for love nor money.

Sounds like Mrs T, but she's not working.

Have you tried turning her off and turning her on again?
Having rarely ventured past the front gate for some time, I decided to take advantage of the crisp, sunny day here.
It hasn't seemed that wet lately, but there has been a lot of rain in the nights and the river is quite full.
On the tops of the hills, the crispness turned into something more like Arctic - and taking the gloves off for this picture felt borderline dangerous.

Enjoying a drop of red.
I was under the impression that this was a family forum!
