OK, there is no stress in this house - that's what I keep telling myself....
Today, has been probably one of the most interesting days that I've had for a while. The local water company is checking all the septic tanks in the area and although we are renting it was checked here. Whilst talking to the inspector, he asked if we were the people buying the house across the valley, we said yes, to which he replied OH. After more discussion, he had inspected there last week and there was no septic tank! The people that we are buying from thought that there was, so are equally as stunned as we are. We are meant to be signing, handing over money etc tomorrow, and now we have to negotiate who pays what. At the moment the house is considered inhabitable, on health grounds, but fortunately we have a campervan, so toilet and showers are not a problem. So we await to find out how much extra we may need to find..... As usual with house buying all our money appears to be accounted for, so I had better buy a lottery ticket tomorrow!!!!
QI also decided to scare us as well, because we brought down boxes from the attic today and little did we realise that inside was a packet of mice poison, so guess what, our nosy little darling decided to eat some. So emergency visit to vet for vit K injection and a months supply of vit K tablets this evening, cause after all there is no stress here! I hate having poison around, but where we are living at the moment, although we have those electric blippers that are meant to deter mice and rodents, they don't always work, so we kept it in the attic away from the cats and blippers in the rest of the house. At the new house, there won't be any poison and they will have the run of the house including the attic.
At least with all the excitement of the QI, it did take my mind off the septic tank :S)
Thanks also for the prayers and hugs for my friend.
