action stations

Sunday, we had our usual brekkie, up and showered. Veggies prepped for supper, apple and backberry crumble made for dessert.

DB has started clearing out, he has filled the shredder I do not know how many times. M cleaned all the cars and then came round and he has helped DB sort out and pack up everything to go from the shed, so thats done. I have to check that the lawn mower is working ok, I think its been in the shed for about 4 years since Matt started to do the gress for us.

I had an email from the agents to say the landlord was happy for us to put up curtain rails and a satallite dish, he just asked that we did not take the blinds down.

I was up early Monday, they were coming to collect the car to look at the computer screen which looked like a tartan rug when the ignition was turned on. Car was collected........new computer screen was needed, also the washer for the windscreen had a problem and one of the back tyres was rubbing.

Tuesday evening the car was returned, new screen, it was replaced under the guarantee, but I had to pay for the other bits. I was staggered when I found out the new screen for the computer was £1500+, thank heavens I did not have to pay for it, that would have put a real dent in our bank account.

I have spent a vast amount of time getting our financial arrangements through to an agency who check everything except your inside leg measurement. Thursday I had enough and phoned the agents I was so frustrated and more than a little angry. Eventually we ended up going into Melton to the agents and they sent everything through. We will not get the keys until the 16th, so it will be at least 26th before we move. I think I will be emotionally scarred once it's all over. We never had all this faff before.

I shrieked with exasperation, the agency emailed Friday, they wanted a copy of DB's passport. The Estate Agents have everything, I rang and asked if they had a copy, I knew they had, they looked and found it. I got them to send it over. I hope that is the last thing they need and everything is sorted by Monday!!! 

Gardener came and helped sort out behind the shed. He also cut down the compassion rose and potted it up. We will need him another couple of times to finish sorting the garden.

I have started to sort out the sewing room, have a plastic crate with wadding and some other quilting fabric to go down to Dorset when we go in April, believe me I will need a break when all this is over. I sorted out a whole lot of stuff that had been filed some from 2015!! and I found the missing tenency agreement we were looking for!! A lot of the papaer work will be going into the shredder, anything that is pertinent has been re-filed in a new  file folder.

I owe some of you an apology, I am not sure how but I managed to delete your comments, I am so sorry, no idea what I did......I will try not to do it again.
