What a week!

Phew, so glad that is over.

After the drama of the first part of the week, Friday did not go according to plan. We had been told by the estate agent that the landlord of the Liskeard flat had agreed to us as tenants in principle and just wanted to meet us to make sure we were "their sort of folks".

Well, when we got there, they didn't even know our names. They had been told that there was another couple coming to view the flat. That's right: another. We were another couple in a long list of people they had viewing the flat. They hadn't even been told about us or our circumstances.

We went to the estate agent afterwards who then told us that the landlords didn't think the flat was right for us as there was a noisy and troublesome neighbour and we have a small baby.

Well, I'm grateful to the landlords for their honesty, but am soooooooo annoyed at the estate agent for the lack of theirs. I cannot believe that they could tell us such out-and-out lies.

Luckily the local paper came out Friday and we found a property for rent in Callington. We called the number and they said we could come straight over and view it. And so we did.

It was a beautiful big cottage with plenty of space for a growing family and a reasonable rent and central heating and a NICE BIG BATH!!!!!! Oh, we were so excited and had a chat with the landlords (private renting=no scummy estate agents). They took our details and told us they were doing more viewings over the weekend and would let us know as soon as possible.

Oh we were all aquiver. Then, at about 10 am on saturday, they called us to tell us they wanted us as their tenants.

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY

We're all sorted and don't have to deal with that crappy estate agent again.

Woo Hoo Hooooooooooooooooooooooo
