your definition of frustration
« on: 05 December, 2010, 11:40:30 am »
Last night we thought we'd have some fish 'n' chips. So I got ready.

Warm longs - check
Waterproof trousers - check
Winter top - check
Waterproof jacket - check
Winter Buff - check
Thick gloves - check

Went out to garage to get bike. Turned lights on - front battery totally dead :(

Bugger. Decided that retrieving light bracket from other bike was too much of a PITA so I abandoned plan.

That is my definition of frustration. What's yours?

BTW, we cooked a nice noodle dish instead - nom nom.

Finding the Dinotte charger, extension cable and 'Y' connector that had been missing for 4 months in the basket marked "Wii Remotes".  ::-)

Y indeed.

Ah. Right. And exactly how does this bloke know my entire life story?

Stopping at a convenience store for a choccy bar on a freezing cold night with less than an hour to go to the arrivee and forgetting the combination of your new combination lock, then remembering you wrote it on the calendar in the kitchen as a failsafe, then discovering that your mobile phone is out of juice and spending half an hour in a phone box waiting for your dearest beloved to get off the frigging phone to her mother.

An e-mail from our solicitor handling a property purchase for us ...

[We signed the contract in readiness on Monday 29 Nov and the solicitor has all the money]

I have now received a further response from the Sellers Solicitors.

The Solicitor has admitted that she missed the note that she had to contact estates and management regarding ground rent and notice information.  She has confirmed to me that she has emailed them today and they have advised that the reply may take up to 10 working days.


.... the ultimate frustration is that this is a buy-to-let investment and we have a tenant with his pen poised on the agreement.
