Faff good luck with reduction request
Nervy, I have no idea about the credit reference. Rationally what the garage suggests sounds plausible but we are not in the rational zone. Oh no. We are in the parallel paranoid universe that is buying a house so I would feel twitchy too 
Our vendor who was desperate for a quick sale pre rebrexit has dragged heels. Today I realised that he has moved abroad and his money will be worth more as the pound recovers so he is probably not in the desperate hurry he once was.
Hand. Well it was sore from moving a sofa I think but what did it was hours of cleaning with Mr muscle type squeezy bottle. the back of my hand went pop when a squeezing trigger.
Later and next day it was swollen and pain. I couldn't move wrist or sleep. Went to a&e bank holiday Sunday with my unlikely story. X-ray fine they said, soft tissue injury, keep it moving.
Thursday a&e consultant rang to say X-ray been reviewed and alclusion fracture diagnosed where ligament tugs a bit of bone off. I say oh it's quite a lot better, only hurts if I reach or put on handbrake. She said get to hospital and get it splinted.
At fracture clinic the consultant laughed at my mr muscle story saying I would know when I did it. I do know. it went pop. I heard it. He looked at X-ray report which was clear and said leave that splint on for a month and then come back if not better.
At least we will have a week or two overlap between purchase and sale so will hopefully not have to do a marathon pack and move in 24 hours that we did last time. Well hopefully. it may all depend on how the pound is doing against the dollar FFS
