Settlement is settled

S spent a couple of hours running some tutorials. She said she was tough on the students, and it worked: no talking in class, and the latecomers copped it.

I was at a planning day at work. I really don’t know why managers keep having planning days. I’ve seldom seen anything useful emerge from them. I think most of the people who were there saw it more of a social get together than anything constructive. Though, the talk by our leader was inspiring. It was during this meeting that Vickie, the conveyancer, rang. She is helping me purchase the Flynn property. There had been a development.

Vickie said she had some information. The vendor’s solicitor contacted her regarding settlement day. They wanted the 16th June. They wanted what? Hold on a bit. It was only yesterday we received advice that the contract was signed with the 19th June as settlement. It sounds as though someone is telling fibs or generally making a hash of things. They want to put the 16th on the contract and do nothing until the 19th June. That was Vickie’s plan, yesterday. So, that’s it. Done. Presumably. Both legal eagles came up with the same idea independently.

S was wondering if this meant we could move into the place on the 16th June. Perhaps we could rent it from them.

Vickie also mentioned that our contact from Virgin Home Loans rang to say the valuation was in and approval of the loan may be mid-next week.
