Thank you.

I am just gritting my teeth and bashing on - it matters so much to me to be gone from this place full of sad memories and to be back with all my friends.

It is hard to believe that this could happen to me five times. Lots of support from my lovely girls, so I have to count my blessings.

Luckygirl I am so sorry. It’s awful when that happens. Al I can say is persevere. You will get there in the end and it will be worth it.

I really feel for you. What a year, I hope you can get some rest and your EA can phone around interested parties tomorrow, I think they finish Christmas eve morning. Sending positive thoughts.

have you considered renting yourhouse ? If you needthe money for your new place can you get a buyto let mortgage on it and use the rent to pay for your new home .Might be a solution after all the let downs.We have been let down 3 times and we have decided to stay put for now but will consider renting this houseif we find somewhere else before it sells .Good luck with it all,its given mt nightmares and I haven't gone through the awful situation you have .

Oh Luckygirl how horrible for you.

There was a tiny chain - just my buyers, who themselves had a cash buyer - their buyer dropped out today because work was needed on my buyers' cottage, and even though they dropped the price by £20k they still backed out. It is a minefield out there in the housing market at the moment. I am going to sleep on it and decide what to do. I am desperate to leave this place and its unhappy memories and go back where all my friends are.

So sorry Luckygirl the most stressful time.
It is why I am now staying put.
Hard on my family I know but they are younger and there are 3 of them to shoulder the burden and they will reap the reward.
Good luck with it all and try to enjoy Christmas first.

I'm so terribly, terribly sorry Luckygirl. Did they give a reason?

Well - I have received an early Christmas present - my buyer has dropped out. They were here again on Saturday talking about which curtains they wanted etc. ; and I have clocked up more solicitor bills again. It is just adding up as buyers drop out.
