...wishing I had gone to bed an hour ago.
...wondering why buying a house is so difficult with so many unexpected pitfalls. You think you're buying a house and then the surveyor refuses to give the house a valuation unless you get a full structural and timbers survey because of some very vague things and then your mortgage is turned down.
...wondering whether to continue with the above or not...
...having had a lovely dinner and evening with the flute quartet
...feeling remarkably glad because of lie-in to come.
....hoping stupid bodyclock doesn't try to wake me at 6am
...feeling glad that the children behaved well this week.
...deciding what pieces to do with orchestra this term.
...wondering what songs to choose for choir since we have no particular concert on the agenda.
...wishing the house elves would tidy the house.
...feeling guilty that my suitcase is STILL unpacked and lying in the middle of the spare room floor.
...feeling irritated that CBC is snoring like a really quiet wolf howling!
...feeling guilty I have not caught up on blogs yet.
...wondering why the wolf-howl has developed into something louder!
...needing to go to bed!
night!

I know how hard is to buy a house. We had so many issues that we've ended up switching solicitors half way through. We managed to get our money back from the first solicitors (that were recommended by the agency), but we were willing to lose the money we've paid them. We were paying rent while everything was sorted and this meant we lost a few pounds in the process.
ReplyDeleteI understand how you feel about the house purchase. We had a very stressful time ss one surveyor wouldn't look at the house as it's a "non-standard build" which spooked our mortgage lenders. All was well in the end though, and it will be for you too.
ReplyDeleteOh the joys of adulthood hey.
ReplyDeleteI hope by typing this all out it helped to get some things off your mind, it's always a start when there is a lot going on. Hopefully it will all right itself soon enough, you just need to tackle one thing at a time x x
A lot going around in your head Kezzie. I hope you get some rest this weekend and peace of mind over the house situation.
ReplyDeleteGlad that there were some good times at school and with the music group in the week. Don't feel guilty about blogging. I'm just getting back into reading blogs after the holiday break. Even though I have the time I like to pace myself with everything. Wishing you and your loved ones many blessings in this new year 2017 - good health, discernment over important decisions, enjoyment and satisfaction in all you do.
My sister just bought a house. I remember some of the issues she complained about - I hope yours are resolved soon.
ReplyDeleteIf the house elves turn up could you send them to mine next please? ;-)
However bad things seem now, they usually have a habit of sorting themselves out or maybe this house wasn't to be. That doesn't mean that something more fabulous is not waiting for you. House buying is a pain in the arse, but once you're homeowners all the hassle will soon be forgotten. Good Luck and enjoy the lie-ins.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about the house problems. I know buying a house can be really stressful, even if nothing goes wrong. No sign of the house elves here either ... At least, do not worry about not having caught up on blog reading, which I (and I guess everyone else) totally understand. xxx
ReplyDeleteOh, dear Kezzie, please don't feel guilty of some things like not being able to catch up on blogs - you need time to adjust your body again! From super summer to super winter again! And also, that you didn't unpack the suitcase. If it helps you, I had a big trip in April and still haven't completely unpacked - so, yes, sometimes I feel like "oh, what's this!", but to defend myself I can say that I am shifting from place to place, so it is more or less OK :) Buying a house is difficult, indeed, but I think all the pain is worth, then to have better times later! Good that the children behaved well and hope that the wold doesn't prevent you to sleep - you really need to sleep a bit now! Wishing you a nice and relaxing weekend!

Hope everything is better now!! Jx
ReplyDeleteHouse buying is fraught with so many issues, I hope things work out for the best and soon.

Dearest Kezzie, house buying is stupidly stressful :-(. We had house buying woes when I was heavily pregnant with Benedict it all fell through sadly and so when pregnant with Pip we renovated the kitchen and built a loft conversion instead :-). We are fortunate to have been home owners since 1988 so I can understand your frustration at wanting to get on the property ladder, will keep you in prayers xxx
ReplyDeleteWe all have nights like that Kezzie! Hope you feel better now.

Totally agree with the house buying thing... Always so ridiculously frustrating. Fingers crossed it'll all work out in the end for you guys.

Distract Me Now Please
Don't despair, Kezzie. It will all work out with perserverence. This is an evil test you must go through but you will. Owning a house is such a huuuge privilege and I am extremely happy you are in the position to do it. Hug yourselves. These are all happy problems, although it's hard to see when the process is so stupidly convoluted. Happy New Year! So sorry I've missed my regular visits here!! xo
ReplyDeleteI hope you did manage a restful night in the end. Your house will come. You can't see it now but something better will be around the corner. If those elves turn up to clean your house please send them round to mine! x
ReplyDeleteOh bum, hope your home buying woes sort themselves out, we had several hiccoughs when we bought our house, I hope it gets better xx
ReplyDeleteHope you slept well, Kezzie, and got your lie-in! I wish i had the pensieve from harry Potter. Swirl all the thoughts that make our heads too full around for a while, maybe even watch them mingle or collide, but have somewhere other than my head to keep them!
ReplyDeleteBuying a house is one of the most stressful things to do.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and sending loads of good, positive thoughts your way.
All the best Jan
Oh that really sucks about the house, I hope you figure it out. Buying a house is SO stressful, good luck x
ReplyDeleteSuch a lot on your mind. I hope you had a good long lie in.
ReplyDeleteA spare room is what leaving things for another day is for (my spare room is proof of that!). You can do anything, but not everything - not all at once anyway. Be sure to take sometime to be kind to yourself, and maybe sew a tennis ball into the back of CBC's pjs ;)
never feel guilty about catching up with blogs...I think it is important that we keep the blogging experience as stressed free as possible. We all have enough stress in our lives.
ReplyDeleteMy husbands snores like a wolf too sometimes:):).
Crossing fingers for you that the house stuff gets sorted OK. If it helps, I truly believe that homes are one of those things that work out for the best in the end- so if this one isn't right the next one will be better xxx
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny :) I'm flitting through your blog post titles on my feed and it looks like you've been busy in January! And buying a house (hopefully). What an ordeal! I hope it works out for you and you find just the right place. God has the right spot for you. It's so much better (I think) than renting something, so long as you don't get yourself in over your head. Start small :)
