It must be panto season. We got home at 5pm to find they have gone. I am not kidding, the motorhome has disappeared. The key is back under the mat.
However, they have been back in the house this afternoon. The following evidence:
One cup extra in the dishwasher. Now we never use the cup with the picture of the Schnauzer on it because the Shauzner (my Aunts) tries to mate with anything. I swear our old Tabby cat used to be abused as he would often be wider eyed after they had been together in the utility room.
Sky - Now when we left we had it on MTV as we like a bit of music when we are getting ready. I came back to find it on Only Fools and Horses on UK Gold and when I went to check the Planner, I found some of the preplanned recordings has clashed and therefore not recorded. VERY ANNOYED :mad:
The bathroom. The Head and Shoulders is now missing and my Sunday People newspaper was left on the cistern.
I mean it is Christmas for christ sake. Who uses your home, fires out the sprouts whilst reading about Posh Spices family arguments whilst the Mrs is downstairs drinking out of the canine rapist mug watching Only Fools.
If they were down the garden now I would be giving them my marching orders. HOW DARE THEY:eek:0 -

Can't believe they left without a thank you note!
Maybe they were sussing out the area before deciding whether to exchange contracts?I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

I don't believe a word of it. Wind up.
No buyer would act like this, and if they did no seller would respond like this.

Happy Christmas0 -
class ...pure class...well doneIt is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.0 -
Wonder what time they'll come back ?
Out getting a porta potty in the sales hopefully.
As for them coming into your house and wondering around whilst you are not there, that is bang out of order and if and when they do come back you should lat it out flat to them that they have cooked their goose and that from now on they will have to find an alternative solution to their bathroom problem. Tell em straight that you know they have been around the house and that its not on and as such sorry but its not your house yet so no go ! how dare they !, Id feel as if id been burgled if it were me having complete strangers wondering around your house when you were not in.You may click thanks if you found my advice useful0 -
They have just come back.
They parked up again and I flew out of the door. I was just about to mouth off when he produced a new Rudolpf out of the caravan as an apology for the dog weeing and blowing the circuit on the last one with a bunch of flowers for the Mrs and a thank you note. They said they came in earlier as their heating is kaputt in their vanand they went out to look for a garage, but couldnt find one open.
They have asked whether they could stay one night in the house rather than freeze and have offered £100 for the inconvenience. They have promised to find a hotel from tomorrow and appreciate the good will. I have agreed as we may as well be on speaking terms and we may as well get paid for the hassle if they are using the loo etc anyway.
Since the spare beds are now flatpacked, they are on the airbed tonight. They have even promised to cook breakfast tomorrow as a futher thanks.
They are nice people, I am just wondering if people from Devon are a little homeley??0
