Default The god of fortune farts in my face!

Ahh yes the best laid plans of mice and men!

It seems like the sale of the pub will be on hold for a few weeks as the buyer "forgot" to tell the pub company that he was buying the pub of my folks!
This means that the pub company now has to get their own servey done and then passed on to their sols for final say so.
I know its not the end but its that feeling of your world falling away as you think of everything else that can go wrong so close to leaving.
The flights have now been put on hold as well as the 2 dogs going to the shippers and every one is walking round like bears with sore heads. The worst thing is my dad's mood now, snapping at everyone, but as the age old saying goes

"Sh*t happens, but why always to me?"

hey ho....................

Oh mate, sorry to hear of your woes. Just think though, you have your visa, you're on your way.... just not quite as quick as you'd hoped that's all. Frustrating, I know but it's only for a few weeks.

Try to keep ya pecker up!
