NDGirl posted the post Annpan was unhappy about at just gone midnight. Personally, if I was having to deal with this sort of stuff at any point in my day, let alone the wee small hours as an emergency, I would be feeling a little downbeat, too. I imagine posting here was a blessed break away from it.
I still don't think she is 'downbeat' normally, though.
I don't think I am normally, either. Must admit I'm not at my most cheerful when awaiting a whole lot of papers by fax at midnight though!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Two words, NDG, You Tube.
Put this up on You Tube, now. You cannot, in all fairness, tell us something like this and then leave it to our imaginations.

Really well put.
Certainly after years of smug comments from those who bought...years ago.. (and continuing smug comments, but only from desperate BTLetters on here - no-one in the real world is smug any longer, just nervous), it is a blessed relief to see prices finally falling and see the day when one can finally buy a home without being financially crippled in the process coming ever nearer.
Obviously, this is no comfort at all to those who DID buy very recently, and are really worried about it, like the OP - who clearly need all the sympathy/help they can get.
I'm pretty sure I've never posted anything rude to anyone in that situation; if our house purchase hadn't fallen through about 16 months ago, that could well have been me posting on this forum (to which I first came then, in search of advice on my planned purchase). I was just lucky - it fell through.
On the other hand, like Pobby, I'm happy to agree I've frequently been (extremely) sarky to those who were posting in order to gloat at their wealth (for which read equity) compared to us non-home-owning 'fools' etc. I don't have a whole bundle of sympathy to spare either for those who chose to take risky punts on BTL as 'a one-way ticket to Easy Street' as Inside Track described it - ie those who felt in some way entitled to easy money for sitting on their backsides, yet couldn't even be bothered to actually check out the figures for themselves.
But the OP is a long way from that - she was only attempting to buy a home for herself, to provide a secure foundation for herself and her future, (and those familiar with her story will know she was not entirely comfortable with the decision to buy initially, anyway) and does not deserve to be lumped in with the lot described above.
So give her a break.

There is no need for that at all and I have reported it.Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.0

Well deduced NDG. I didn't think you'd get it. Glad you have your cheerful head on tonight. You have a wonderful fan club on here that doesn't mind you rambling off into your own world of horror stories. Keep em coming if it helps with your condition.neverdespairgirl wrote: »Wow, not only a KGB charm-school reject but a doctor to boot :rotfl:
Actually, I'm not at all depressed, although thank you for your concern. I'm extremely cheerful!
Getting my flak jacket on now ready for the onslaught.
Love you loads.
