That's some old saying, there is an implicit implication that somehow in all situations and all occasions there is an element of control, when in actuality things often spiral right out of your ability to exert any influence on them at all.
We knew it wasn't looking good but last night got the confirmation that our buyer for this house has officially pulled out.
Well he hasn't he and his family love the place really want to be here and really are trying to find ways around things.
But there are times when you are in the grip of circumstances and this might be one of them.
So today a lovely sunshine day we did really decisive things.
First of all we put the house back for sale to all those people who cannot buy a house and at a reduced price which is all academic. Someone who has bugger all will not suddenly have money if you wipe 50 k off the asking price. Instead of attracting buyers who don't have 500K you attract buyers who don't have 450...
Just get a lower class of tyre kicker...
So the going being tough and us being tough we got going, we went down the pub for lunch.
Didn't help mind....
Baaaaah houses.
Management is pretty low, me I just have this feeling that something good is around the corner. Yeah I was never a realist....
