Thumbs up! Shumbs up!...the landlord is trying to find as much wiggle room as he can to deduct money...argh!!! We got stood up by people who were going to buy our car...double arrrgh!!! Last minute, badly ditched. An old "friend" tried to make the most of it and offered to buy it for pittance plus had an attitude as if he was doing us a huge favor. Why? Why is so hard for some people to resist the urge to take advantage of others.
Last minute stresses are inevitable, but there are many many things to be thankful for. We have had a steady stream of friends helping us. We had an impromptu party last night when some friends arrived and helped us late into the night, they cooked using all we had in the fridge and ribbed us about all our "possessions"( mostly my collection of assorted glass bottles I use to store everything from lentils to paper clips.) It was an evening spent chatting, laughing, singing, debating and of course packing.
Thats what I want to remember from this experience and not the unpleasant stressful hours.
