Noooooooooooooooo,

Thats it, cancel the removals, the sale is off, forget the flights.

Now thats not the best start to the day. Hold on though, gives me an excuse to go to the pub for one extra night per year.

I will be booking flights today.......if I can find the right price of course. Probably going for the 24 / 25 / 26th July. Just wasnt sure, as if you were liable to fly at the same time we could fly together.

Skipping gayly, hand in hand down the tarmac, singing waltzing matilda, skippy under one arm and my cork hat dangling.

Or we could just sit on the plane and get pissed to console ourselves.

lol - can just see us sat on the plane, beefing away cos of you know what, getting trolleyed and eventually trying to chat up the air hostesses.

let me know if you come across a good price though, cos thats about the time i'm looking to fly. would be good if we could sort it!

Now that sounds ideal......not so much the beefing part (some people might read that thinking it sounds a bit suspect......good job we know eh) but the getting drunk part.

The second bit sounds equally appealing.....chatting up the stewardesses, which as long as we dont fly Thai Airlines and end up chatting up a ladyboy, will be fine

Congratulations on getting rid of the house Ianj.

If you have any spare buyers, could you chuck them my way ! Not much happening down this neck of the woods

I know how you feel sjn.....I thought it would never happen.

2nd time lucky really but even throughout the second I was twitching.

There is a buyer out there for all of us.

Thanks leanda

Its not a fun time it has to be said. Fortunately I have had no hassle from my solicitor (shouldnt have either they cost enough), just the bloody buyers that are the pains.

Even the estate agents have been good........which isnt the norm most people hear.
