WAMT....what annoyed me today!

We accepted an offer on our house, and had an offer accepted on a bungalow. Fingers crossed for a smooth transaction.

Our buyer appears to have gone AWOL! Our Estate Agent last heard from her on Wednesday morning regarding the ID checks. They haven't been able to contact her since. She's not answering any calls or replying to any messages.

Sorry to hear that Marc, moving house is stressful enough without extra hassle. Hope there is some reasonable explanation and it get sorted out.

Thanks, Dave. Just hope we don't lose the Bungelow. They haven't found anywhere yet, so that takes a little of the pressure off.

Sometimes, these house moving problems can turn into unexpected benefits.

The last house we sold, we accepted a much lower offer than the asking price. That buyer just fell through without warning. Such things happen. {shrug}. Then a new buyer appeared, offered the full price and just wanted possession as soon as possible. This was no problem for us as we already owned the other house and it was empty. The whole thing was settled in six weeks and we were a big chunk of cash better off!

So take heart, it could just turn out well without warning

Coming down the A12 yesterday there was a "Roadworks" sign.
My wife said "when do you ever see a man with a spade, it should show some big machine"

A spade ? I thought it meant rain imminent and he was putting up a brolly....

Days after we cancelled the sale of our bungalow (we would have had to move into temporary accom ) my wife was diagnosed with renal cancer and had to be rushed in for an emergency kidney (+other bits) removal! He works in mysterious ways!

6-8 weeks for an appointment with the nurse to take bloods! Only a few years ago, it used to be a walk-in clinic. I've now got to go to the hospital, where parking is a complete nightmare!

Has the clinic closed or something?

Fortunately, the Queen Elizabeth Hospital here has pretty decent parking now if using the large multistorey, but anything outside can be a nightmare, with people parking on double yellows, in disabled bays without badges showing, between bollards etc. Presumably they don't want the small extra walk from the multistorey, but we are talking literally an extra 2 mins.

The worst thing I'm seeing now is people parking fully on this pavement here where it's narrow, meaning pedestrians can only just squeeze through but wheelchairs and prams have got no chance.

Has the clinic closed or something?

No. they just changed it from walk-in to appointment only.

Sorry, I thought you meant the appointment with the nurse was at the hospital.

Sorry, should've made it clear that the clinic was at the GP Surgery.

An update: My wife sent an email to the surgical team (who requested the bloods). This afternoon,, I got a test, telling me I have an appointment tomorrow morning!
