September 29, 201014 yr Oh Sue...I hope your daughter's job is ok. Good thing about surveys they can save you from a disaster, will he look for another or offer a lower price and repair?
September 29, 201014 yr Author We got this house because there was so much wrong with it - if you get a price that reflects that and the extra effort it'll take then it can be well worth it. We'd never have been able to afford one like this that was well maintained. I hope your daughter keeps her job, it's worrying while she waits to hear.
September 29, 201014 yr Oh Sue...I hope your daughter's job is ok. Good thing about surveys they can save you from a disaster, will he look for another or offer a lower price and repair? At the moment they are trying to get estimates on everything that needs doing, and then they will try to negotiate on the price. In Paula's department (educational physiologists), it looks like they will all have to re-apply for the remaining positions, but that won't happen until next January probably, so it's going to be a worry for some time.

September 29, 201014 yr How ridiculous, educational physiologists are so few and far between, we are desperate for them in this area they are so over worked with 2 year waiting lists!!
September 30, 201014 yr This is typical of local authorities. Ours has to save £25 million this year so cuts are inevitable and jobs at risk.
September 30, 201014 yr In our area, Bolton, they are reducing the educational physiologists from 10 down to 4!!! Sue
October 3, 201014 yr The rain was so heavy this morning that we were given a severe weather warning. It just poured down until mid afternoon. :( Sue
October 3, 201014 yr Author We had really heavy rain and high winds all night and all this morning. Then the sun came ou, dried everything up and it all looks as though it never happened
October 4, 201014 yr Author The builders are going to start next Monday. We've only been waiting 7 months.
October 5, 201014 yr I'll believe it when it happens. Cynical, aren't I? No just speaking from experience! Sue
October 5, 201014 yr Author I am hopeful though. When David's space is built, I'm just so hopeful that things will go from the house and I'll actually be able to walk through with ease.
October 30, 201014 yr Author What's crept onto the next page? A nice new building for David? I'd wondered where that had gone
November 6, 201014 yr Author She can't. Mine is home watching my Mum while I take Pam to the airport. Then he's going to visit his sister in Spain.
