Not to be.

The house has fallen through. The strange living situation is causing problems, I shall explain. The house was bought by a married couple with two teenage daughters. They then split up but he continued to live there. She then met someone else who moved in with his teenage son, and now they all live there, although the children are all away at university. The woman and her new partner are moving away for work in two months.

It was the woman who did our viewing, and told us that the price was flexible due to some damage from the storms last year to the garage. We called to put in our offer, and she suddenly started backtracking before giving us her ex husband's mobile number and telling us to talk to him. So we called him. He didn't know we had been to see the house, said the price was non-negotiable, despite the damage to the garage, and doesn't seem to want to move at all. So we decided to cancel the survey and back away from the crazy people.

I'm a bit gutted, I could see us living there, it was a beautiful house, and it was pretty perfect. But, onwards and upwards! We've got another house to see tonight (one with massive potential for me getting a whole new kitchen at that!) This is house number eleven, so here's hoping that eleven is the magic number :)

So, a slightly maudlin end to this post, thanks to this week's Glee, keep holdin' on, because we'll make it through...
