In three months this will be funny.

Right now its not. My solicitor waited until the day before completion to tell me that I have to pay the higher rate of stamp duty because the sale of my flat fell through and its still not sold. This meant that at 4:20pm when I got home from school we had to find an extra £6600 on top of the £3k we had been quoted.

The total extra they wanted was £9340.

Mum's bank account held £9349.

So in a couple of month's, providing the flat has sold and we can claim back the difference between £8500 and £1900 stamp duty, then this will be funny, and another example of God testing and just laughing at me when I fail to trust him, even though he provides the way out of the crap.

If the flat does not sell in time, I will still be very, very angry about all the hassle and large cost of somebody else changing their mind a few days before exchange.
