Sorry spandit, you sound exhausted.
But the
solicitors and vendors deserve a boot up somewhere
and I hope you can give it to them somehow. I don't know, ultimatum if it isn't sorted and exchanged by Friday and entry given for 30th then you pull out and let them stew with it even if you can't face actually pulling out. Sometimes folk mess around beyond all reason given the state of the market you'd think they would be delighted to have a ready buyer but then get blase and pushy and start screwing you because they haven't actually got everything lined up the way the precisely want yet
I'm coming around to MGWM's position - I want to move but have kept putting off because I can't see how to cope with livestock if finding a buyer comes before finding a new place, or if someone starts doing exactly this, messing about. If it was just me I could rent for a while or housesit or visit rellies but with animals it ain't so easy and they're not ones I want to just sell up and start again when I got somewhere.. I reckon I might as well put in for a grave site up my field and just stay put for good too
