[QUOTE=Fly Away;5953491]Oh, that's just heart breaking. I'm so upset for you. The electics don't really matter, it's the personal things like books that mean something which hurt isn't it?? Which company did you use? We moved 1 mile up the road with Pickfords and they trashed loads of our stuff. It put me off so much that I am sending all my antique stuff to auction and getting rid of most things. Have to risk the sentimental stuff I suppose.

Sending you a big ((())) I thought all the sh!tty stuff was over for you.

Books,, photo's crushed antique chair split orniments that were my mums broken, things I have travelled all the round the world with for 30 years broken. I could cry.

All going too well, just have to move on.

Can't say who but they have a cat as there Logo.

It is really depressing isn't it, I am with you and really pi**d off again today. Really do need to try and snap out of this. Jason works from home and everytime the home phone or his mobile rings I just look at him willing it to be the estate agent with someone who wants to look at the house.

AAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH - Nope still don't feel any better:curse:

Trying not to look at BE too much as I just want to go, but as I am refusing the clean the house in the hope that someone wants to come and look and I have a dash round like an idiot cleaning it, I have nothing else to do but look at BE. Wish day time TV was better!!!

Go out for the day, I did and got a phone call and had to rush back, took a drop in price but it got us over here. Really happy with our decision.

You know I can't sing and you would never here me from here

So sorry Somme. I know how you feel, a lot of the stuff we had broken was irraplaceable. I was going to use that removal firm too - I had heard they were the best. I am very tempted to air freight the really important stuff. Not sure if that is any safer or not??

Sending you some more big hugs. ((((()))) Now screw the insurance for every penny!!! Get angry and shout at them! They deserve it.:curse:

They usually have a good reputation - the cat co that is, we had them to quote for us, don't think they will get business now

Oh Somme, that's terrible, sending you some vibes. Know who you mean. (Or at least think I do.)

Know exactly what you mean Tracy, this place is getting like a pig sty in the hope that we get a viewer and I have to do a mad, frantic rush clean.

You sound very like me. We had the bright idea of selling the house early in the process so we were ready to go. It hasn't happened that way but at points I have been mega obsessed with selling. (Usually when some idiot promises they are going to buy the house, never to be seen again...:curse

For you, it must be a welcome relief to worry about selling your house rather than Paul. Hope his last treatment goes well.

PMSL at another board out back with a hanging basket.

Good luck hun.



Glad they liked the house. Headlights through the window!! FFS - what are curtains for???

Fingers crossed that they can get over this reservation as it isn't a serious one.
FA I can't wait to find out if your new buyers want the house. Hope you have done all the finishing touches!!!
EA ringing tonight to go over details for the stamp duty thingy so will let you know.
Good luck to everyone that has viewers this week. Wish we did.

Nicky xx
