Settled...

I just got a call @ 2:28pm.

Its an anticlimax, if you ask me...

I mean, im getting married to the bank for 30 years of my life...and all i get is a short phonecall to say that "Its settled. Everything has been done." from the clerk at my solicitor's office.

Where is the "Congratulations!"???

Where is my, i dunno...happy happy joy joy celebratory cheer?

I have been stressed out for a while now because of this.

Finding the right mortgage, engaging the solicitor...trying to get things done before the next interest rate hike was a shocker. My broker was stressing me...i guess he was a bit worried about failing me, as he is my brother's friend...and it seems he is scared of me. I'm not going to be pushed over when it comes to my money! He had to find out the hard way...

Although, i am completely appreciative of his help. And i would have been lost without his guidance...but just dont get me feeling iffy or even give me a whiff of a possibility that i will be ripped off. I wont take it and i will hunt you down until you fix it and guarantee that everything is hunky dory.

So, i didnt get a ring of any sort...no rock on my finger...but i am officially tied to the bank (as of however minutes ago) from when i received that call to say that the banks have exchanged cheques.

I am a home owner. eh.
