    Apart from the furniture which they agreed to leave, they left us a Dyson , a steam mop, a glass with loose change and 15 dollars.Oh and 3 bottles of beer in the fridge. The sad thing was finding family photos that no-one wanted:(

    A gas leak. Particularly nice of them as they knew we were moving in with a 5 week old baby.

    A dehumidifier. Alarm bells SHOULD have rung!!
  • Our vendor left a huge pile of rubble in the front room with several traffic cones on top. Had to get a clearance firm in to shift it all who put a chute out of the window to get it out. As it was a third floor flat the mind boggles as to how it got there. Spent 3 days in a hotel.
  • lots of Frank Spencer DIY mishaps inc a TV aerial that had so many boosters and adaptors that it didnt actually connect the aerial to the TV

    A random photo collage of the pansies that she's grown

    A scarecrow

    Dog poo shovel

    3 full wheelie bins of rubbish

    Lots of relieved neighbours as they'd been neighbours from hell
  • A dining table and chairs, a lawnmower and a box of chocolates.


    Very handy.
  • When cleaning out the cat litter style insulation in the loft prior to re insulation, we found a 1970s !!!!!! video buried deep. Much laughter ensued.
