This is another post based around the current circus that is the selling of our house.
The estate agent tourist fiasco goes on despite us telling the agent that no one comes into our house without having the available funds, or proof that their own house is on sale. I thought we’d finally broken through the thick skull of our agent when we had an appointment for one gentlemen on Monday earlier this week. The cameras on the house told a different story when 8 other people went traipsing through our property.
I have duly phoned the agent and burned him another asshole. I don’t think he will be sitting down for a while. But this seems to be the way it operates in the East Midlands, and I don’t like it, in fact I bloody hate it. These charlatans that hide under a cloak of professionalism will do anything to appease the viewer, rather than abide by the rules and instructions of the seller.
And then they have the cheek to send feedback a couple of days later. Why?
I’ve told them in the past to forget feedback. I’m not going to change anything because someone doesn’t like something. You want to change things? Buy the bloody house then and you can change everything. Totally pointless.
Feedback on house visits, about as pointless as the person who installs indicator units into BMW motor cars. They’re never used.
Pointless
Apart from that life is extremely busy, all my work stuff is packed up so the tourists have a nice view of tidiness, and that’s why I have posted very little lately. I have a mahoosive back log of stuff but at the moment it’s a very much, I don’t give a hoot attitude as I take some well earned R&R.
Have a pleasant day, and don’t let the B***ards grind you down.
To be honest I think I’m pretty good at budgeting as long as I don’t have my wife beside me when I’m making a decision on how to budget.
Bless her she seems to be one of this group of people that sees the word “Shop” and then she’s off.
And if the shop mode is in full swing then all thoughts of budgeting are out the window.
It’s the same with home improvements, I’m the practical one who will size a job up, get it planned and priced and she will come in at the last moment and add her requests and all of a sudden a perfectly decent price will now double because she’s probably added some unnecessary upgrades that weren’t really needed.
It’s different but you become used to it. I’m absolutely sure that in a previous life she was a lady of the manor, however I am not unfortunately on the earnings of a lord.
So I am quite good at budgeting, however nine times out of ten I don’t bother as it’s a pretty impossible task.
If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time?
I guess it would be counterproductive, as I’m an individual who likes to keep busy, I guess I’d probably work myself into an early grave. what’s the point.
In my job I’m a jack of all trades and master of none. I’m just someone who is there to organise a response when the dirt hits the fan.
However, ask me about aircraft and rocket technology and I’m your man.
It’s good that most of the youngsters in the family will turn to uncle Dave when there is a technical question, and I like that. It’s good to see the concentration on their faces as I’m explaining things to them.
In fact I’m quite an authority on irrelevant and pointless facts as well.
