So bloody close.......... Yet so damn far.........

Well, I was all excited about having our titles confirmed and all signed sealed and delivered yesterday 28/02/08, but it was not to be......

Unfortunately some one in the finance company used Australia Post (26/02/08) instead of a courier and the paperwork will arrive the following day (27/02/08). So we thought "Oh well, we should still be right". The paperwork however did not arrive with the solicitors until 28/02/08 first delivery in the morning.

So we missed the deadline for settlement being the 28/02/08, any penalties the finance mob would cover them, so I was informed.... Good I said, as they should.

However some goose in the solicitors office, for the finance mob, then transferred the money yesterday afternoon, 28/02/08, to the developers bank account - plus one extra digit..... Yippee.......... Not...................

Long story short, hopefully the money will bounce back tonight or over the weekend, as this particular banks opens weekends and is counted as a business day. So as long as this happens it looks like settlement may now be Monday.... I will have to put the Moet back on ice until then........... BUGGER........
