I'm glad you're getting your boiler checked but I'm glad I asked as I got caught out cause I bought my first house and didn't check the boiler til it was too late cost me £1900 to get it replaced as it was faulty xx

What a cheek of some people, eh? Our house was disgusting when we moved in - I was pregnant and up a step ladder scrubbing walls and ceilings. Rank!

Hope you get the essentials sorted soon then you can relax. Not long until your holiday now!

Your parents are peed off cause you are doing your own thing alone albeit your borrowed money off them due to last minute hiccup with the mortgage lender but once you've paid it off you can tell them to wind it in xx

If one of my kids bought their own house by themselves I would be so proud of them xx

Unfortunately some families seem to need a scapegoat. When my sister, earning more than twice me & no child to support, paid off her mortgage in 19 yrs instead of 25, she got that's great let's go out for dinner to celebrate. When I paid mine off in 11yrs instead of 20, I got Oh really! They will never change, any good idea of your's will have become your sister's idea. I still saw them as regularly but actually stopped communicating, what they don't know won't hurt them (well you actually)

I am stuck with them until my boy comes a key latch kid as I have no one else though

Aw monz I can't believe they are doing this to you again.

They just don't appreciate how lucky they are to have a daughter like you and a fab wee grandson that they are able to have a relationship with.

Don't let these things get you down Monz - don't let it put a dampener on your house move.

Honestly, I've never met anyone who has moved into a house and felt 100% satisfied! There's always something that wasn't as they thought, or something broken. To be honest, i'm still not 100% in love with my house almost 4 years later but I know the potential of it and once we've got everything the way we want it then I know i'll love it. It's our forever home and it's OUR home and that's all the matters.

Get the necessities sorted, go on holiday and you'll have a new outlook when you get back, ready to tackle the rest of the house stuff
