Looking forward to Tuesday

"Just another manic Monday, wish it were Sunday...." I'm sure the words go something like that. LOL

On the house front. Still no news!! It's been a long time now and our Estate Agent is doing her favorite thing. Avoidance!!! Not answering phones, nadda. Let's cross some fingers for some news either way tomorrow. Right now I couldn't care if the buyers get the bond or not, right now I couldn't care about the fallout due to the buyers already having made alterations. Okay, I could but seriousley it shouldn't be our problem. Come the end of the week, we will be doing what we need to do to start on our path to financial freedom.

On the fence front. Darling hubby came home at midday and cleared what debris (grass + weeds) from underneath the fence that he could. He got working on the house alarm system and discovering which panic buttons work and which don't. Shortly, I will be wearing one around my neck during the day. I have now accepted that that is how it is meant to be. We now have the correct Company boards outside so that there is no confusion as to where they are meant to go.

Elaine, if only your idea would be a deterant. Sadly, it would be an invitation. If they know you have firearms on the property - they either come ready armed (sadly, either way they do) or they will break in just to try and get the guns/weapons.

The headless chicken is a 50/50 issue. Either it waltzed onto the property and the dogs did kill it - I for one have a hard time believing that they did, as there was not enough chaos, mayhem and blood to indicate that is what happened. It does look like it was just thrown over the fence and landed where it did. But I'll comfort myself with the 50/50 either way.

With all the chaos today there are no beads in the kiln (sad face). The good news is my fresh bottle of oxygen arrived which means I can get to melting boro again soon. But I'm going to stick to soft for a couple of days still. I need to finish up a project and well, I just need some PPP in soft. LOL

Have a good week guys and girls!!

Angry with the world vs. you're trying to rip us off

This afternoon I got very, very angry. I'm trying to explain life and death to my 8 year old son and at the same time deal with an Estate Agent who has the audacity to ask me a stupid question. Am I angry with the world? Before I could answer her she puts the phone down. Yes, I am angry at the world right now because something very sad has happened and my 8 year old is distraught - and I'm trying to fix it the best way I can. So yes I am angry at world. But I never got a chance to tell her.

The real answer which I was trying to get across to her was that I was not very appreciative of how she is trying to rip us off. Nevermind the fact that she is trying to play Ant and me against each other and other silly stupid little games she is playing through this whole sale.

Ant went past the house to discover that the 'new to be owners'...and I reiterate 'to be' have started moving stuff into the house. WTF!! We are clueless, as far as we knew they wanted to measure for curtains and kitchen cupboards - not move in. Nevermind the fact that upon speaking to the 'new to be owners' they duly informed hubby they're moving in this weekend. Another WTF moment!! But no occupational rent has been discussed nor have we been informed by anybody as to what is happening. Phone the Estate Agent who tries to tell Ant the transfer is through and it is their right to do what they want. But he hasn't signed the transfer papers. According to her - he doesn't need to sign anything, know anything or do anything.....According to the Attorney's this afternoon, he has to sign...it will take a week or so to get to the Deeds office and the transfer could only take place towards the end of August - according to the Attorney that is. One Estate Agent is trying to get them into there house rent/bond free for a month. And we must cover the costs - she's living in cloud cuckoo land right. Please tell me she has lost her senses.

She is trying to tell me Ant has okayed the move in. Uhhmmm, no he hasn't. Does she make up these conversations. She is one scary Estate Agent!!! Ant is happy with the fact that we lose R10 000 plus interest for the hell of it. No, he is not. Yes, we're struggling to survive but sure we can cover somebody else for a month. No problem....did I tell you we're stinking rich. Yes, I have to agree with myself - that woman is NUTS!!!

So yes I am angry with the world because something horrible happened and it broke my sons heart but I'm blooming PO'd with her for trying to rip us off!!!

Okay rant over, I feel better now.
