The Waiting Game

Here we are, over a week later, and we still don't know about the flat in Chiswick. We are in a bidding war with two other people. So, the owner decides to up the price of the flat, which, of course, we all agree to pay. So, we've given Erryl our highest price and still waiting to hear. It seems that the owner lives in Goa and his estate agent/property manager has a hard time getting in touch with him. Not a great way to do business.

I'm terribly frustrated because I'm not really excited to look at anything else, based on what we've seen. Plus, we know that things availabilities are limited. I'm sure anything else that we were slightly, SLIGHTLY interested in is now off the market.

Even though our current place is nice and we love the staff, it is getting old. Walking the dogs every few hours, not allowing them to be off the leash. Housekeeping ringing the bell morning, turndown service at night, quality control in the middle of the day. With things like that, it just doesn't feel like home. I mean, it is a hotel, after all.

Even though we still don't know anything, Erryl is making plans to go searching for more flats on June 2nd. Hopefully the other place will work out, if not. Here we go again.
