omg clive you have my sympathy, i knew someone would be worse than us, we're going into our 5th house in 6 yrs this weekend. i can relate to the grief stress and lack of sleep too
once all this is sorted we are holding a celebration bbq and p*** up.
all welcome

Thanks Trena - hope your move goes smoothly - such stressfull times - the last thing you need is more stress from a so called professional dropping huge b******s in the middle of it all - im really cheesed off! Im hoping for a better luck when i eventually find a house in a couple of months

Anyway quick update - had an email late yesterday afternoon - they have agreed to drop their fee for the sale, so a bit of a result.

Did someone mention BBQ & beer???? - count me in

Im was so annoyed i was shaking! - havent been that wound up for a long time.

He didnt even admit it at 1st but i had a copy of the fax he sent - what an idiot!!!!!!

I was supposed to have had a call back before lunch today - told him he had to offer a compensation package to offset the grief, stress and the last 3 nights lack of sleep - effectively i have said im not paying his fee - waiting to hear ..... - keep you posted

Just need to get something off my chest.

Im moving house for the 5th time in 5years - its a long story but i ended back where i started from 5 years ago but its now time to move out.

Usual battle with estate agents etc but sale was agreed a while back - contacted my solicitior about 10 days ago to ask how things where going, he would call me back. Anyway no reply so took my sons off to sunny Wales for a along weekend last week, got back to 6 missed calls on the office line (no calls to my mobile though?) we are moving 23/4 - oh yea right i said.

Turns out in my abscence and no reply from his 3 calls my solicitor took it upon himslf to agree to the move date - managed to eek it out a bit to Wednesday next week but what an idiot!

If we dont move next week the deal is off as chap at the bottom of ladder has given notice on his rented place and is homeless effective 28/4

Im mucho stressed !!!!!!! arrrrrggggghhhhh

Thats incredible - did actually hear this on the news and found it amazing then, perhaps they should do some real work!

benefits of being a drunkard. 7th April 2010 11:23 AM
Plus the added benefit that they send you to lots of exotic places to expand your true drinking potential!

So you could fall out of a moving vehicle in Cyprus i seem to recall too!


This story typifies this Country and the state we are falling in to - words defy the logic of this - i feel a rant coming on, but dont feel well enough
Marmite cereal bar - yuck 6th April 2010 11:18 AM
Peanut butter on its own no, but love it with stawberry jam in sandwiches - believe the americans can claim credit for that
Brilliant !

Have to admit im all for this scanning - why are people so against it? Ok someone who cant see you can allegedly see your body outline but you wont see this person so whats the harm?

Fed up of so called do-gooders that keep bringing up human rights instead of seeing the bigger picture.

Sadly the World is turning into a nasty place and we need more security to stamp out the threat of terrorists
