LATEST MOAN FROM YOU AND ME 2017

Afraid not Shiney. We, along with both our vendors and our buyers, were all promised by our respective solicitors that exchange of contracts would take place last week, originally on the Tuesday. Every day we were all given various excuses as to why exchange hadn't taken place, until by yesterday (Friday), the exchange had still not happened.

Everyone had agreed on a completion and moving date of the 22nd, removals companies are booked and everyone in the chain is ready to go.

We hope to have exchange on Monday, but I'll believe it when it happens.

 

Aww @Trunky I do so feel your frustration!!! I was in your position 37 months ago and it nearly drove Mr "M" to total despair! (I was the coolest of the cucumbers but that may have been due to the fact I had the task of opening the front door, heading straight for the back door and not stopping until the monster in the garden had been tamed! ... I did it too!)

I've been watching your journey from the get-go and I can totally empathise with this last leg. Try to stay sane!

Positive (and healing!) vibes winging their way to you in shed fulls - go give Mrs Trunky a big hug ... for we all know it is the woman of the household who does the lions share of the work

Finger's X'd for you for Friday 22nd Hope you are able to draw comfort from the fact it isn't a Friday 13th

 

I cheated I bought mine before I sold the house we lived in, also the house we bought was empty so no chain.
Not everyone is able to do this and it took me 3 months to shift all our stuff and decorate, but oh how calm we all were.
We sold 2 houses without the help of estate agents, done using word of mouth and knowing people. Saved a good few pounds. This is how it should be done no hassle of delayed dates and gazumping, less stress to add a few years back to your life.

If only I ruled this kingdom how it would change and the people who serve it.

 

Ahhh gutted..only had it about 6 weeks and woke up to find the back bar has snapped on the chicken run.



Patiently waiting for an email back after requesting a new back bar.

 

Yay! No longer moaning, speedy response from the supplier and having a new back section.

 

That's great news @Linz

 

Contracts exchanged today! We are moving on Friday.

Thanks M, much appreciated. You're right about Mrs Trunky doing much of the work too, she has fielded most of the phone calls and emails throughout the whole process, kept things moving along and planned all the packing and preparation down to the last detail. Organizing things is her speciality and this has been her chance to shine.
I am lost in admiration.

I have been giving her lots of 'special' hugs lately, to help relieve the stress of it all.
Works for me anyway.

 

That's great news @Trunky ! Good luck with the move and let's hope the weather behaves.

 

Good luck with the move Sheal & Trunky

Just got back on line, had no phone and broadband for 4 days i've never heard some many different storys to when it was going to be fixed

 

I thought you'd gone to a fire festival somewhere

 

I wished i had more fun then speaking to people about phone and broadband, most companies want you to do al on line, small problem when you don't have a working phone line :rasp:

 

FUN tastic NEWS!!!!!!

Heartfelt Love & Luck to Mr & Mrs Trunky in your New Home (and, from your description ... any future Mini Trunkies )
