This is really beginning to get me down. At first I was OK with it, but now it's just dragging unnecessarily. The estate agent has been unable to get hold of the seller to even communicate my desire for a reduction in price, let alone extract a response and get back to me. And now I can't appear to get hold of even the estate agent! Argh! I'm very tempted to tell the estate agent when I get hold of him that I'm going to go over there myself this evening and talk to the seller in person. At least then something will happen.

Okay, that's enough of that. Good luck to [livejournal.com profile] ev1ldonut who should hopefully have finished his aptitude test and be waiting for the second part at 1pm this afternoon. Hope it's all going smoothly!

Meanwhile, the two meetings I tried to rush in for this morning ended up both being cancelled, but not before my PM and I ran around like headless chickens as we were both late due to bad weather and traffic (and timing/route decision on my part [note to self: must remember I'm in a car, not on a bike..]).

So now I've got to get this design document kicked off, another task I'm trying to avoid with little success. Life just seems to be full of unpleasentnesses at the moment, although I have been trying to escape really hard..

'bout 5 mins walk from the train station, with good access to the M5 :)

Don't know about meeting up yet. Tuesday (ie. tomorrow) is looking like the only sensible time atm..

Well I went around to the house last night - none of the lights were on and there was post waiting in the letterbox thingy, so it's not the estate agents fault. It's just difficult waiting for her to get back. I mean, fancy not telling either her solicitor or the estate agent that she was heading off for a few days in the middle of all this? *sigh*

Sorry to hear that things are dragging hun...I can understand the frustration...the owner of the property I want to rent has gone awol and the estate agents can't let it to me until they get hold of them! **sigh**

Hope the wheels start turning again soon!

Yeah, I know. But the words are starting to fade into sounds with no meaning and I'm getting that glazed expression... *sigh*. Thanks for the hugs *hugs* :)

it might not be a bad idea to try to talk to the seller, but you are overwhelmed so maybe sleep on it if you can. and then make a plan in the morning if nothing has happened.

Like I said to [livejournal.com profile] jikatal, I did go around there last night but the lights were off and she had post waiting. There's nothing I can do for now, so I'll take some advice from your bio and not worry about it :)
