The Old Lady

Annoyed

I did a reasonably long post yesterday but it doesnt seem to have appeared anywhere! I was telling you that it was Simon's birthday yesterday. I didnt mention that I was surprising him with his parents coming up to join us for dinner just in case he read the blog! But he was very surprised which was very nice.

We are having problems in the sale/purchase of properties. I was thinking only the other day that it all seemed to be going too smoothly. Everyone is (I hope) still committed but the timings dont seem to be working out too well. I had a long chat this morning with the lady we are buying from (who is very nice and we had a great long chat about holidays too!) which was part negotiation and part trying to reassure each other that we are committed. Our holiday dates dont seem to co-incide with each other's which is terribly annoying and they havent got anywhere to move into (despite telling us that they would be prepared to go and rent somewhere so we could dictate the timetable). Anyway wont bore you with more details (probably bored you all already!) but here's trusting it works out OK in the end....
