Some of you will know that my Mum lived next door to me, she died a few weeks ago. So I now have lost my Mum and my Neighbour. After my Sister, who lives nearby, seriously kicked off, it has all been down to me to deal with this property.
The Estate Agents found me lovely new people, and we were about 1 week from exchange, when the chain broke down. The elderly couple are devastated as they had packed their boxes and got rid of some furniture etc. The bottom of the chain was a young couple of first time buyers, and they are heart-broken as well.
I now have to remarket it, and so spent 3 hours this morning on the very long drive with one of those wire long handled brushes, to clean up between the paviers, and create a good first impression.
Wow, what a work-out that is. I feel like I have been rolled by a steam engine.
When the little weeds start to show, I shall do it all with Pathclear, and hopefully that will last until a new buyer comes along.
I no folk say that it is one of the top three stresses, and right now I completely agree.
Having said that, I thought, that's a lot of calories gone, so I have just eaten brunch - A fruit scone and Jam -
Now I am too achy to go and do my own garden, and to tired to cook, so tonights dinner may be a scone and jam
Best ways it will be a jacket and coleslaw and maybe some grated cheese.
Think of this poor old lady tonight when you are all having your lovely roasts
. You do have to laugh.
