Re: Whinging Pom House seller
I think you can get L'oreal. If you check on the packet, there should be an Aussie distribution address. If not, check online for the company and email them! A girl needs her roots done!
BTW, have you ever finished the Iceland Blog, I'm still waiting to see what happened to Miss smartie pants!

Good idea - although if you're having a farewell party you'll look grey on the photos!

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Thanks Somme!
Well the 12 o clock has been and gone and guess what HE LOVES IT!! Wants to bring the wife back tomorrow!!! He is a builder, but wants it for himself to live in. He wants to part ex for a flat - which is fine by us as it would release some equity and we would be mortgage free until the visa comes through.
OMG, I am so nervous now. Just phoned my OH in a panic! Hope his wife likes it!

Well get this!!!! My original buyer, after all the faffing around and stress he put me through this week has just been into the EA and said he cant get a mortgage! What kind of person pays out for 2 surveys when they dont even have a mortgage in placeThankfully my lady buyer had her survey done today by the same company as original buyer - so am hopeful things may still JUST squeeze through in time before we go - if not shortly after we arrive
Keeping everything insight crossed very tightly

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Thanks! You've got quite a list now, suburb, school and job!
Just come back from a wet and windy school run and getting tea before heading out for piano lessons. As my 7 year old said, "Doesn't a little child ever get a rest Mummy?" To which I answered, "It's training for when you're a Mummy!"

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
My buyers solicitor is an arse :curse: He keeps asking me things about the house before we bought it, it is 350 years old.
Doesn't look like we will exchange 2morrow, said to my solicitor if we don't exchange 2morrow I will pull out, (temper), he said wait and see what 2morrow brings. If no exchange on Monday we will discuss it :curse::curse:
My bloody life is on hold and has been for the past 2 years.
Rant over, sorry just had to get it off my chest, think her solicitor normally only deals with new houses.

What sort of thing is this silly solicitor asking? Surely not if you have an NHBC guarantee?? PMSL.
We have stone mullioned windows and so many viewers have complained that we don't have UPVC!!!!! Needless to say, this isn't the house for them!

Why are people such idiots??:curse::curse: Try not to get too stressed. HAHA, I know that's a silly thing to say. IT will happen. This idiot is just a jobsworth.

Also the drains as water company have no longer got the plans, destroyed in a fire, we knew it when we bought it, never had any problems
As buyer is always telephoning me thought I might phone her, what do you think?

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Asking about an extension that was done in the 70's well before we bought it,we have never had any problems as live next to a field, has anyone ever objected, like who!!!!!!!

Same with the drains. The water company doesn't know where our drains OR water supply are! We didn't have a stop cock when we moved in! We had to get Water board to fit one. The old supply is still connected - god knows where it comes from!??
Good idea to phone the buyer. Ask her why she wants this information and explain that you just don't know and it has never been a problem. Say, if she wants to know anything else to ask you not the solicitor as it is holding the sale up. She might listen!

anyway we've managed to change our flights to 2nd dec, this is the lastest we can go so hopefully that will give them enough time to get stuff sorted

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
all the moving stuff involves boring organising and havent got time to do anything else - so the blog is suffering a little.
I am planning on keeping a diary while we are travelling and getting settled and then adding those entries to the blog as and when i get online - quite worringly i have no idea how often that will be
what will i do without BE?!
