Frustrating Thursday

6 days before we leave for Indonesia. Everything was going fine - flat packed up, stuff taken to Lancaster & stored in Mum's loft. New tenants found. Then the bomb dropped! Our mortgage has been withdrawn!!! This is after 3 months of paperwork, searches, evaluation and a signed agreement... some technicality that we will not be in the country at exchange of contract. We called the solicitor & mortage lender but noone would listen or reconsider. So with 6 days to go we are back to the start with buying our flat. Do we still leave knowing if we do we lose the sale, try and raise personal finance, persuade our families to remortgage their homes? I felt like weeping! Chris was out of the house when I got the call and seemed to take it all in his stride saying , 'we will find a way'. Spent the evening phoning family and friends to gather advice and cash.... see what tomorrow brings.
