Wendy - OK - I'm shutting myself in the office till 11.
TNG - on my TD I have a door filter for lint (cleaned every 2 or 3 drys) and a filter down the bottom. The filter down the bottom needs cleaning out once in a while as the build up can cause TD to overheat apparently - I think my parents just told me this to scare me into cleaning it :rotfl: ! Cooker hood is a build up or grease that is a fire hazrd so filter needs changing regularly.Punky x0 -
There was a family of mice on the coal shed, living in my bag of maternity clothes :eek: . I dont think the charity shop will want them now. I have stopped to have a cup of tea and stop shaking. I hate mice, stupid and illogical but I can't help it
. Quite a lot of coal in there as well, so nice roary fires for me for the next three weeks.
I have finished the coal shed, and done the greenhouse and the garden. Written the cheques for the people who did the specialist reports. Sorted estate agents and mortgage people, fingers crossed we are back on track o/w its into rented on 8th Dec. Finding somewhere we like that will take dogs, cats and children might be interesting though.'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -
Ah hex- you are going into rented as well? I never twigged that.
IM having a few struggles to find someone who will take us with the dog ( dog doesnt live with us at the mo but we have sold so we can have her)
Im worried myself TBH/:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -
Linz, our buyer is pulling out if we can't complete on the 8th. We want to buy but if we can't complete for that date we will pull out of the purchase and rent for six months instead. Valuation on the one we are buying (luckily empty) was bad, and we have at least another week before our mortgage offer. Solicitor says this may be fatal, so we are in limbo till next wednesday. 8k retention, three specialist reports, and a partridge in a pear tree.
Either way I have to get packed and cleaned, same as you. Is buyer one sticking to his mad schedule? Good luck with finding somewhere, they are about.'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -

I live in hope. Well we were meant to be exchanging today, but a slight delay on the buyers side and a slight delay on my lender releasing the deeds have held things up slightly. We are ( read I am) anticipating exchange next week at some point. hes not bothering with a survey & the searches have been done my sol says online.
So we are aiming for next week exchange with a view to completion on the 5th December so I dont have to pay the exit fee on the mortgage.
Pixxy- nowhen OH moved in with me ( I cant have pets here due to lease) his dog stayed with his parents, but shes outstaying her welcome a bit now, and its a priority she is with us. PLus OH misses her terribly awwwww
