The waiting for exchange of contracts ...in limbo......

Hi we've signed our contracts 10 days ago, our vendor has signed last Thursday. I don't know if our buyers have signed yet but we're all hoping to move before xmas and have set a provisional date with our vendor and our solicitor for fri 9th Dec. I rang our solicitors on Thursday to ask them to check on our buyers progress and was told they'd call us back after speaking to their solic. When they hadn't replied by fri I rang them again and she said she'd try again to contact our buyers solic and get back to me. It's Monday and no reply. Rather than ring again I rang the estate agent to ask them to check on progress in the chain and it was "yeah we'll call you back when we've spoken to them" etc. No reply ...

Why the lack of contact? Could anything be going wrong? Is this not responding normal? Will we be able to exchange and complete by 9th Dec??
