Am I dreaming?

I would just like to acknowledge that the building process makes me feel semi Bi-polar. One minute I am sad (because of all the hold ups) and the next minute I am as happy as can be (because things start to move forward).
Anyway today I can report that I am.........
A HAPPY CAMPER! Oh yes oh yes I am!  It really did feel as though "that" email from Stocklands would never come- but low and behold it finally did! 
Tuesday 08/07/14 marks the day my land was finally lodged to the LPI for registration. 

To say I am over the moon is an understatement and I honestly have to keep pinching myself just to make sure I am not dreaming! 
The good news is the more I pinch myself the realer it all starts to feel and I am happy to say with confidence that I am one step closing to having a home to call my own!! 

Today I contacted my solicitor to request my DP number so I can track the progress of the registration. I also put my signed building contract in the mail and transferred the remainder of the 5% deposit to Trevelle! Wham bam thank you mam and just like that I am locked in to bricks and mortar for the next 30 years at least.

Bring it on I say!!?? (I'd be lying if I said there wasn't some fear there ;p)

Talk about.....

Pissed!!!

Coz thats what I am! I received another update yesterday from dear old Stocklands. They said there will be another 2 week delay in the lodgement of the land to the LPI. I thought it was all on track and ready to go but no....another delay came up preventing it from being sent on its merry way.

To say I am frustrated is an understatement. I am trying to stay positive that it will be lodged before the two week timeframe but so far my experiences with them leave me believing that its likely to be longer than 2 weeks not less. Shit.....

I was hoping to get good news on Monday for my birthday but now- instead of saying Happy Birthday to me and meaning it I am saying "Happy Thursday" to me and being completely sarcastic when I say it....
