We're moving out!!!

We had planned to move into a little cottage in a village called Littleborough.  It was a small cottage with two bedrooms and it was just across the road from the train station. We were very excited, but for weeks nothing seemed to come of it.  Finlaw had done some work for the landlord.  

He came back one evening and said that he has something to show us.  He said he'd pay our bond and the first months rent.  We (I'm) so hard to live with he'd rather spent £900 to get rid of us.  GO was a bit concerned as he was still a Jobbing chef.  We decided to go for it.  It would save us money in the long run as we wouldn't have to go out all the time.  

Then just as my patience was wearing v-e-r-y thin, (I don't cook but I broke the oven) Finlaw got work painting another house, that was up for rent.  A four bedroom and over £100 more rent a month. We did the maths, once GO start his proper job I'd be getting the train. 

Travelling to school from the little cottage would cost an extra £50 a week because it crosses the county border. So by taking the bigger house we save money.  We decided to for it, again Finlaw would pay the bond and first months rent. 

We filled out forms, paid admin fees, bought some bits and pieces and waited and waited and waited.  The estate agent work at a slow pace.   

Then on Easter Sunday Finlaw dropped a bombshell, they wanted us out by the next Sunday.  They were going on holiday and wanted us out so they could pack.  This in theory was fine but as no paper work have been played officially, I couldn't understand how that could make such a decision.  The landlady had said we could drop things off as soon as the carpets were laid, that doesn't mean we could move in and squat!  

Tuesday morning after Easter arrived and GO, Finlaw and I trundle off to the estate agents to check how things are going, and to pay the bond.   We're still waiting for the references to come back said the little lamb behind the desk.  She is very meek and mild I don't know how she copes in a busy estate agents.  Finlaw is now at a loss, what can he do with us?  And the waiting continues...
