Signed, Sealed and well, pending...

Took another day trip to Morzine to see the Notaire. Drive down was a nightmare diversions all over the place. Drove to Chatel and was going to go over the Col du Corbier but that was closed, OK, instead of going over the mountain we can drive down this valley and back up the next one, only adds about 15 minutes. As we drive down the valley there is another diversion. So we end up driving all the way back down to the lake at Thonon to come back up the valley for Morzine. Horrible.

Anyway we signed the documents at the Notaire and gave him his enormous fee. Over a thousand Euros for a few signatures! God what else does he do? What else does he need to do?

Anyway we then drove up the road to Morzine to see the bank. Turns out my bank manager is on holiday (again) and will not be back until the middle of next month. Good job we came here in person rather than emailed these invoices in. They would have sat in her in box for 2 weeks!

We shall see what happens, I gave the bank a few thousand in invoices from the past few months which should cover the Notiares cheque. Now I can get back to working out how to spend it all!
