Signed up

Well, we went to the Advocate's chambers and signed all the relevent papers, which means that were tied in to the purchase of the house (unless the survey turns up a bad problem).
Our "conditions of sale will become operative" on 3rd March - that means that we will have exchanged in England speak. Then we will complete the process and hand over the remainder of the monies due on 10th March. And then it's all ours.
