Default Frustrated, fed up and grumpy... *VENT*



Thats me right now - frustrated, fed up and very very grumpy! I'm exhausted by all this waiting - waiting for our PPR, waiting to sell the house, waiting to buy in Canada, waiting to know what to do next. I HATE waiting!!!!!

Another person who entered the line over a month after us got their PPR yesterday. What is wrong with CHC???

We've had 17 viewings on the house and despite the feedback being that its well priced and lovely NO offers (or even 2nd viewings).

I feel like I should be positive but it has now worn me down so far that all I want to do is throw myself on the floor and cry....

Sorry - I know people have to wait longer than us as we're spousal but I am finding it all so exhausting. Our lives are well and truly on hold at the moment and I am sick of treading water!

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH! :curse::curse:

Rant over...

Hi Emily,

Despite your frustration, you know there's a bright side, eh?

1. You're waiting for PPR - which means you've had medicals.
2. You've only been waiting a year.
3. You're frustrated, fed up AND grumpy - hey, three out of three ain't bad!

Keep smiling - we are.

Simon & Laura

Count yourself lucky you have only been waiting 5 months with it being spousal.

I hear you about the waiting it sucks - visa house....buyer !! ..... but there are others worse off than yourselves.

Just when you feel you are getting closer, the waiting goes on and the frustrations at time passing by just bubbles to the surface again. Limbo-land is very frustrating.

Take heart, it won't be long. Think positive

Thanks guys... I'm not the most patient person at any one given time but waiting on four or five things is overloading my brain!

I'm trying to be positive and focus on all the things I want to do before we leave but some days it just ain't gonna happen!!!

Hi Simon

Your messages always bring a smile to my face. It's half term and I'm stalking the postman - now that's sad!
