We are having a nightmare! We are in the process of buying a house, and selling ours. We love the house we are buying, and we were all set to move in next Wednesday.
But these things never run smoothly it seems....our buyers (unbeknown to us until very recently) are now stuck as the bf is in the Marines. All we were told originally was that he worked away, and that they were first time buyers ready to move....The truth of the matter apparently is that he was supposed to be home weeks ago, but they have extended his tour of duty. We would never have accepted their offer had we known what we know now because it was clearly a situation that was likely to go pear shaped.
Well it seems he is in fact in Afghanistan, and that there has been a problem in getting the documents to him to sign. We were told last week it was all in order, that he had received the form, signed it, and it was on it's way back. But today we actually found out that he hasn't received it, and that he going 'out in the field' tomorrow for 10 days, so we are not going to get it for at least 2 - 3 weeks - and that's if that goes to plan and he doesn't end up off base for much longer.
This puts our purchase in jeopardy now, as we are working to a strict timescale of next week to complete. We have only just found this out, so it hasn't been put to our vendor, but I know it's going to cause a major hassle, and I am just praying we don't lose the house.
On top of this, have just found out that I am pregnant, and we desperately need a bigger house.
It's all getting on top of me....we have packed boxes everywhere, I feel so tired, and I can't stop crying. I hate to be so out of control
So please, a little pixie dust our way would be hugely appreciated!
Sorry for moaning on, I know we are not the only ones with worries right now.
