oh no, seriously, it had got the works. Thats why I day 1 I said I hope they draw the curtains before bedtime. He is a DIY man, for his faults he has put ina pumped water system for a small shower and a saniflo. Everything lifts to form something else, quite ingenious.
Anyway, still waiting for the Solicitor to call me back. He has spoken to the other solicitor and the Clampetts promised to call them at 13.45, so any second now.
OH NO THE PHONES RINGING - BE :T RIGHT:T BACK:T0 -
Oh no :mad:
The Clampetts are not ready to exchange today as their Mother is doubting the suitability of the house for her "delicate needs". The solicitor is talking to the other Solicitor as I type.
Sod it, Brother Clampett has just blocked the drive with his tourer with the final load of Mrs Mothers stuff. I better go down and answer the door. I have a masterplan.0 -

I am sooo angry for you!! How dare they turn up uninvited, park their camper on your drive, cause you so much distress...not to mention using your house like a walk in centre & your bathroom....and now to do this to you!! Its not on!! I would be checking that they cannot claim for Mother C's injuries...then send them a bill for the inconvenience they have caused you aswell as usuage of the bathroom & the nights in the spare room, and being their taxi!!
The absolute cheek of some people!!0 -
I would be getting Mrs C's stuff out of there quick sharp - she's not resident, as she's in hospital - hope she hasn't given your address as here home - there must be all sorts of implications re selling property, isn't there something about not being able to sell without the permission of anyone who lives there. Probably OTT, but I think if this story is true, (towing caravan changing to camper??), you are in one b.... bit minefield.
Your problem is that you have given permission for all of these things to happen, by allowing them to park, by allowing them access, by allowing mother to stay, and keeping her stuff in the garage.
If they won't exchange today, tell then to go immediately and don't allow access to loo etc.
Next step, they will be angling for a cash reduction???????0 -
Right, well, I have takena gamble.
I have explained to Brother C that we were supposed to exchange today and because they havent committed, i cannot have any more items depositied until the situation is more clear.
I can see from the study that he is in the car, smoking a cigarette getting a little animated on his mobile phone. Lets see if we exchange now!
Mrs J has gone to walk the dog, she is so stressed. She would cut her nails to stop biting them but thinks Mrs C has had a go with the clippers.0 -
i think tbh i'd call it a day now. Phone police get them to remove their camper for trespassing and get ur house back up for sale. tell them you've had enough , your not their taxi, their hotel, or a car park.
weather this is genuine or not, your really being taken for a mug now. you don't know them from adam. and is a house really worth all this ?
trust me i always see the good in everyone,and always think everyone is genuine. i learnt very quickly last yr to not be so nice.0 -
Oh no (hangs head on desk)
My elderly neighbour who I am buying off is coming up the drive. He is probably wanting to know why we havent exchanged.
This could take a pot of tea to cover (or maybe forward him a link to this site)0
