message 924: by Helen (new)

Helen | 3465 comments Anyone know when estate agents are back in work? I need to buy a house and can't get in to view a new one when they're closed! Plus I'm back at work soon and won't be able to view! Where's that grumpy thread...


message 925: by Dave (new)

Dave Wood (pocket7976) | 775 comments Why don't you just go and knock on the door one evening, ask to look around and take them a box of chocolates for their trouble.

Might even save you estate agents fees (unless of course its view by appointment only then just ignore me)

Our's were open this morning in Gillingham. I have to see one to sell my house. Not sure where I will be off to yet though.

Dave Wood (pocket7976) | 775 comments Everyone seems to be moving - wonder if there an old library available for Lynne. It's the only place that could take all her books!!

I would love to live in an old library or even a chapel I keep looking!


message 929: by Em (new)

Em (emmap) | 2707 comments I would too!


message 930: by Helen (new)

Helen | 3465 comments That would be a great place to live! I'm viewing two tomorrow. Quite exciting, although someone else wants a second viewing of my favourite.

Big changes H......you moving nearer to your school?


message 934: by Helen (new)

Done well to sell......Didsbury's nice.


message 937: by Helen (new)

Helen | 3465 comments It is, technically I'll be Heaton Norris, but only 10mins from Didsbury. Could all fall through mind. Selling mine back to housing for good profit.

Great that you were able to go, I'm sure she would be pleased to see you and doubly nice to get the book signed by the author.


message 943: by Helen (new)

Helen | 3465 comments Moved on the 27th, set up my tv and digital box that records tv. Virgin man came 28th, used aerial socket for modem and now I'm stuck with 8 channels. Not many good ones either, no BBC of any description, film 4, itv; plus existing channels have interference. Have rang them every day and have just been told (again) they'll ring back in 48 hours. Choose I'm back in work then so guessing I'll have no tv til whit, so cross!


message 944: by Ian, Moderator (new)

Ian (pepecan) | 5088 comments Mod
Hope you've suspended your DD.....try e-mailing their customer services threatening to move to Sky. Have to admit I was with Virgin several years ago and they were unreliable.....much prefer Sky.

But anyway H., other than that glitch, how's the new home?


message 945: by Helen (new)

Helen | 3465 comments Tv isn't under their remit sadly. Just my nicked aerial socket! Have a plumbing problem in the kitchen but otherwise I really like it. Back in work tomorrow, getting a lie in of 25 mins and will be at work 15 mins earlier.

Great...your old commute was a swine.


message 947: by Helen (last edited Apr 08, 2013 11:16AM) (new)

Helen | 3465 comments I know, was almost hour and half for 15 minute ride. Left house 7.35 today walked to Stockport, on bus and at work 8.10. Fab. Plumber coming tomorrow too.

You'll have to visit.


message 948: by Ian, Moderator (new)

Ian (pepecan) | 5088 comments Mod
Won't be able to visit H as much weaker and do very little driving now and even then limited to shorter distances......prob have to give up completely after this summer. Hope the plumber and Virgin sort you out.....sounds like a DHL novel lol.


message 949: by Lynne - The Book Squirrel (last edited Apr 09, 2013 10:05AM) (new)

Lynne - The Book Squirrel (squirrelsend) | 3122 comments I will be off to Devon soon - if all goes through ok by the end of May. Sadly didn't get a converted library or a chapel (see above post) but have a lovely 3 storey end terrace that goes down and not up, which used to have small B&B on the ground floor. So excited!


message 950: by Helen (new)

Helen | 3465 comments Ian, I'm sorry to hear that. The plumber has sorted me out, he said that previous people had been over tightening joints etc. Giving socket til tomorrow too dry out then a wash will go on.

Lynne, that sounds lovely.
