Meal is a delicious bacon sandwich with mediocre crisps.

To begin, I have NO idea if I’m too young to be posting here (m14) so sorry in advance.
For the last year and a bit I’ve wrestled with my identity as a bi person, I went in and out of denial and struggling with the sudden pressure I put on myself. My parents aren’t homophobes, half my friends are lgbt+ and the family I’ve told have been fine (I haven’t told my grandparents because some of them are pretty old fashioned and in one case racist.) but I still felt like something was wrong with me and I just felt off with who I am.

Then I watched the It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia episode, ‘Mac finds his pride’ where it ends with a dance that symbolises everything I was worried about, at least in my eyes. And I know it sounds so stupid that a show where a homeless man makes out with a dog under the influence of PCP can help me understand myself more but here we are. I’m still far from completely comfortable with this but every time I watch that episode it fills me with hope.

My bacon sandwich was delicious, so so good. Like I cannot even to BEGIN how nice it was to cook and eat.


Mar–Apr 2026	Viewed a flat, made offers through the estate agent, and the seller accepted below asking price
18 May 2026	The building’s management company sent leasehold info to the seller’s solicitor. The seller’s solicitor passed it to my solicitor, who then emailed it to me.
18–21 May 2026	I read the pack, said I was happy, and asked for the legal papers. I then got the contract, transfer form (TR1) and mortgage deed to sign with an adult witness.
21–27 May 2026	I signed everything and sent it back. The estate agent asked both solicitors what still needed doing and when exchange and completion might happen.
27 May–11 Jun 2026	I chased for updates more than once. The estate agent also chased. My solicitor said they were waiting for the seller’s solicitor to confirm timings.
11 Jun 2026	Seller’s solicitor said the earliest they could complete was 3 July. My solicitor agreed to use 3 July and asked for the money breakdown (completion statement)
25 Jun 2026	I received the completion statement, signed the management company’s form, and paid the remaining money needed to finish the purchase.
29–30 Jun 2026	I checked my solicitor had everything. They said they expected to “exchange” that day but were waiting for final confirmation from the mortgage lender that funds would be available. The estate agent said the seller’s side was ready to exchange.
30 Jun 2026	My solicitor confirmed they were now ready to exchange and would tell everyone once it had been done.
3 Jul 2026	I picked up the keys from the estate agent, showing that completion had happened and I now own the flat.
