The exciting life we lead....

Those who have known me a few years will know that nothing in my life is ever smooth and never goes as planned.

So of course today the phone tintinabulated and it was the inastate agent.

Life as far as I was concerned was going well, the solicitors were getting on with it and the sale going through.

Ahh yes, should have read the runes.

Aparently the person who is buying the house of the person who is buying our house has displayed a lax attitude to contracaption, they are full of arms and legs. Not just one set but two. So of course the deal is off but aparantly this is just a "glitch".

"Glitch", sounds a bit like an inter city hitting the buffers at 120 to me.....

But no it just means the house needs to go back on the market, they put it on this morning and have 3 viewings already.

However, this means our big plan to move over half term is off.

Here comes the prospect of the best Xmas ever. Never had so many boxes to open, shame they were not presents but we were trying to remember where in the mountain we packed the most vital and essential small items. I hope the chip shop will be open Xmas day....

That of course assumes that, as the year draws in, we can persuade solicitors to forgo a season of Xmas parties and socials to do a bit of work.

Still it has a positive, it's more likely we will be able to say we stayed here 15 years, nicer rounder figure than 14.

Of course with the deal in limbo we had best not watch the news from the states where birds seem to be coming home to roost by the flock.
