Well.

Post by chas » 10 Sep 2014, 22:17

Having had two house move chains collapse we're feeling fairly hacked off.
The first time it happened our buyer pulled out, more a case of the circus was in town and the clowns were having a day out.
This time, 2 weeks from moving, the pillock who's house we were buying decided he didn't want to sell anymore.
So a few grand down and still in the same house we're feelingh fairly p*ssed off.
To cap it all, we woke up this morning and looked out of the window only to find that something had crapped smack bang in the middle of our lawn, what ever did it couldn't have been more precise had it used satellites to home in on dead centre.
So quids down and a laser giuded turd later we just feel like giving up, but we can't for fear of the turd having won.

I have seen a few people who are somewhat bitter over house moves. It seems that gazumping is back in fashion. One person I know has lost 3 houses to it.

That's a bugger Chris, sorry to hear it. House moving - particularly its preparation is a very stressful ting. I decided when I bought mine I would only do it the once, but I have a shrinking family.... and budget.

Looking on the bright side - you can paint a turd green... :D

Sorry to hear that, Chris.

George, If I told the whole story it'd take hours.
We've been b*gg*r*d about beyond belief, we've given stuff away, sold stuff, surrounded by boxes and got loads in storage ready to move then the pratt pulled out, words can express my feelings but you won't want to see them on here.
Still, all is not lost, we have another viewing on a house tomorrow, trying desperately to save the sale of our place.
Fingers crossed and third time lucky we hope.


Are we having a communal visit to the BSS in February ?
Wanna see Carls new gear, sounds damned good.
