General Chat

I hope that all of the legal things go through quickly Sylvia, also that your OH settles down again.
It was a glorious day yesterday and I had a lovely day out at Harlow Carr Gardens with my friend. It isn’t as warm today, so we were very lucky yesterday. I think that it is downhill from now on .

Oh goodness Sylvia, that is confusing. Is this something that happens in canada re house buying/selling. I can see the advantage from both (or all) the people involved if it works. The person who is taking the contract off the hands of Mr woo will not have long to wait to own the house. Could it be somebody who deals in buying and selling properties? As long as it doesn't affect your end result and is legal, it will be good for you to get it all finalised I think.

I hope by the following day that your OH has forgotten what his brain was telling him was happening. Hopefully the care staff will help him.

Just ginnie I hope all your veg germinate. I have just planted tomatoes. I don't grow a lot of vegetables. tomato seeds are on the windowsill in this room. If they don't grow I will buy plug plants later when I can get to a garden centre.

Sylvia how odd re the house sale, I would also be confused. Perhaps 'Mr Woo' thought you would reduce the price if he said he wasn't able to proceed. Hope it goes well now.

It must be confusing for your OH not being with you now. I hope he doesn't get to upset when he realises that he isn't moving.


Take care.

Talk about going through the mangle!

The other agent phoned my agent at 7 pm yesterday evening to say that the buyer "Mr Woo" has found another person to assign the contract to. That means "Mr Woo" WILL complete the contract as planned, then the other buyer will pay him and take over the house.

Confused????

The agent will let my agent and lawyer know the name of "Mr Woo's" lawyer or notary public today or tomorrow.

I don't know which way is up!

I won't believe it until March 28 when it actually happens.

Meanwhile OH also had me upset yesterday evening ............ he said that someone had told him he "would be released soon". Pretty certain that was in his head, ie hallucination.

Then he told me as I left that he would begin to get everything together for "the move to the new place" :-(

Afternoon all
Its a beautiful spring day here but oh sooo cold and very breezy but....have managed to get some washing out and its drying nicely so the tumble is getting a rest!

JustGinine, I have planted various veg including carrots, peas, beetroot, onions and cauliflower and all are beg to sprout. My rhubarb plant is now about 12 inches tall so all coming together.

I have planted some flowers too.

Just off out to the tunnel to empty the last bags of soil into the raised beds and water the seedlings.

Hope everyone else has some sunshine today.

Sorry to hear about the house sale, I hope you can find another buyer soon.

Lovely day here so have been out in the garden doing some weeding . Have come in now as my back is painful as well as my leg. It is so nice to have some sunshine at last.
Waiting for the results of my last blood tests fingers crossed for good results.

Florence how is your polytunnel doing have you done your seeds yet or is it too early yet?
OH is getting a mini greenhouse as the last one he had with the plastic cover hasn't survived the winter very well. Been looking on line for one.

Done my shopping for tomorrow delivery these weeks are going so fast , it must mean I am old. LOL.

:-D :-D

How disappointing for you, Sylvia!
Sales falling through seems to happen more and more these days - so stressful for both seller and buyer.

I hope you find a new buyer quickly.

Another beautiful day here. Such a long dry spell is very unusual in this part of the country.
It was slightly frosty overnight, but will be warm in the sun later, as it was yesterday.

Oh dear Sylvia, that is bad news, I understand how it feels. When we were buying this house, we lost our buyer just a couple of weeks before we were supposed to exchange contracts. We were lucky to find another buyer straight away , they were cash buyers living temporarily with their daughter. They bought all the legal searches from our previous buyers , so things moved quickly, so in the end there was only a six weeks delay and we were still able to get this house. We were incredibly lucky though.

Oh Sylvia, what a nuisance, and it was all going so well too. So stressful buying and selling houses and it seems it is no different there. Did they give a reason? I suppose the only consolation is that you were not dependant on the sale for the purchase of another house. I hope that you soon fimd another buyer.

Oh Sylvia, so sorry to hear this news. You must be devastated!

I so hope you get the deposit back asap and also that a new buyer will be forthcoming.

Such a stressy business selling and buying property.

Wishing you all the best

We've just had confirmation that buyer will not be able to complete the sale of the house, so we have to put it back on to the market ........... and try to get the security deposit paid out to me, as it has to be under the law.

Good afternoon, it is a sunny day, but it is still very cold, it was minus four overnight. Thankfully, it is going to be much warmer tomorrow with a forecast of fifteen degrees. This week it is Fred entry into various places with a National lottery ticket or scratch card, so I am going to Harlow Carr Gardens with my old neighbour. All the spring bulbs are out, so it should be pretty.
Esme went to the National Railway Museum in York today, so she is very tired. She has just had a bit if a meltdown, but she is now on the sofa watching Tayo the little bus, so I am grabbing a few minutes peace. Roll on 8.50 when my daughter should be back from her London trip and I can relinquish grandma duties

Morning all looking in today
Its another beautiful spring day here but yesterday out of the sun was rather chilly.

Had a day out in town as had a lot of things to do and ive now applied for a plus one bus pass. So if i went on a bus with someone they get on free plus i get 2 return ferry tickets to the mainland per year.

Off to the Drs this afternoon as Ive been in agony with my lower back for a week now so hoping he sends me for an Xray to diagnose the problem!

Linda, glad your new teeth are are settling in and dont be eating any more pears!

My garden now had daffodils and so hope no gales come so we can at least enjoy them this year.

Have a good day all

Florence in the hebrides :-D

My new teeth are now fitted Florence. There are four on the middle top of my mouth. The outside two are screwed into the two dental implants which were put into my jaw, they support the middle two which are the bridge. They look very good, just like all the ads you see for people with perfect teeth. It is a pity that all the surrounding teeth are all sorts of shapes and sizes :-D

I am glad that it is all over, it has been a long, painful, expensive experience, just because I bit into a very hard pear.

OH got up early again to drive Eve to school. I don’t need to be involved until this afternoon when Esme gets back from school. We will play, then she will help me to cook dinner before even more play before bedtime. Last night, she was trying to teach me a dance routine complete with Makaton signing to “Reach for the Stars” I wasn’t
very good at it

Hi all looking in tonight.

Linda, I have always eaten chicken but only if i cook it. i dont eat any pork, ham, lamb etc and so far i havent had to cook any actual meat. of course if requested i would cook it just I wouldnt eat it.

been to visit a good friend of mine who is housebound at the moment as they fell several weeks ago and broke their foot in 3 places and have a long recovery ahead.

She was very pleased to see me and meet my new man of course.

Got a take away on the way home so no cooking was needed tonight.

Linda, hope your new teeth arrive soon and fit ok.

Agingrocker, ty for asking. i'm enjoying my new adventures and the great company.

Florence in the hebrides

Happy St Patrick's Day All !! If any of you celebrate it of course.

Florence, hope you are enjoying your new way of life? <3

Are you having to cook meat dishes now Florence? I thought that you were a vegetarian.
Today, I had my final dental appointment to fit my new teeth. They look good, but that was an incredibly expensive pear which broke my original bridge.
OH has got back to fencing. He has completed about two thirds of the fence, but now needs to stop to paint the rest of the boards before he can put them up.
My daughter is in London for two nights, so we are helping out again. That doesn’t help , but we have to do it

Evening chit chatters
Ty for all your lovely comments :-D

We have today be out for a lovely walk, coffee and then fed some ducks. in all a lovely afternoon out.

I made chicken pasta bake and a summer fruit crumble for out evening meal which went down well.

Linda, yes i certainly am but....i shall still be around on here :-D
Have a good evening all

Florence in the hebrides

Florence ............. you certainly kept that a big secret!!!!

So glad that you have found a nice man, have fun, enjoy yourself!

Florence you certainly are a dark horse :-D :-D :-D. I hope you are very happy as you deserve it <3.

Ginny I had to put a strong metal mesh over my pond as the Heron was a devil and took all my big fish once.
