clubman I was abroad for three weeks, during this time I got updates from the builders and about a week and a half into the holiday, it was clear that the builders wouldnt be finished by the time we returned, which was the plan.
I phoned this woman ,as I had seen the tennants move out before I left for holiday.
It was available,it was on my road, it looked perfect ,from the outside,and she was raving about it on the phone to me.( I had never seen inside it ).
So I arrive home ,and the taxi drops me to this house.only then did I get to see what it was like.It wasnt possible without huge stress to find somewhere else, as there was me, my husband and four kids,we had been traveling for hours and were exhausted plus it was 8 o clock at night.
so hopefully you will understand how difficult it was to find somewhere under the circumstances,if things had been different I would have told her where to stuff it.
A b and b, for two weeks ,with the 6 of us plus all our luggage and the kids starting school next week,Dont think so.
Tree tiger; thanks for your reply, just what I needed..I do think what goes around comes around.
micimlo;I gave her 1250 yesterday thats for two WEEKS rent and 200e for utilities. She will not give a recipt as she told me she wanted cash,( obviously for a reason)
The big problem is we are all exhausted and stressed and cant face moving again for just 2 weeks and she knows this.
Great idea re the pps number, Id be afraid to ask her now,but when I move out I will!
I cant do the b and b thing, its too difficult with the kids and so much stuff.
thanks for all the replys.sure Ill soldier on _)
