Elite Thread XIX

Good afternoon.

Reading your posts about being scammed, I nearly fell for an Amazon one yesterday. It was very convincing and I have never heard of it before.
I had a free month of Prime and had just cancelled it, when I got an email saying I could renew for 90 days for £9.99 with a code to use.
Couldn't see where to enter the code on Amazon, but pressing on the code opened a page asking for my bank details. Something made me ring up Amazon to ask them where to enter the code and it turned out to be a scam.
Felt pretty lucky not to be caught by this one, but really sorry for anyone who did. So beware and don't take anything at face value.

Good morning all, sunny one here

Thank you for the cuppa BB I think we need more people like you in the world, stopping scammers and motivating people like that It is bloody hard work running your own company, but it is worthwhile and you are doing something you WANT to do for yourself. I bet your mate is extremely grateful to you. Blad little miss is feeling better, hopefully it will sort all her symptoms.

Well, think I am making progress on the bathroom front. Previously it was "if you want a bath we might as well keep this one", so I went drastic and told him I wanted to rip out the bath and have just a shower, and yes, it would have been nice, and I would have been delighted if he had gone with that but realistically there's a lot of things we use the bath for. He now thinks he has talked me down from this whereby, in reality, I really want a bath with a squarer end so I can get closer to the shower, and I want one that will go lower than our current one, and shorter. It is a very strange space, so it cannot easily be a normal length bath, so we might as well go short. And he has agreed to that so we might actually make further progress, which involves removing tiles off plasterboard, which also means almost certainly replacing the plasterboard. Last time he did that he replaced half a sheet so the tiling was uneven, this time I shall have to accidentally make a hole high up on the wall, wish me luck

Isn't it awful how we have to be so devious to get our way

Anyway, must go and see if I have any sandals suitable for wearing for going out tomorrow.

Well this opening ceremony is very boring sending me sleep

Good evening all, asking if anyone has any recommendations for a conveyancing solicitors please. We are 5 weeks in and our solicitor which our estate agent recommended 🤬 has decided are not going to read our emails and won't bother calling to talk to us and said they now won't act for us despite making us chase around trying to get 8 years, yes 8 years of bank statements as they wanted to see hubbys work salary ( hes been retired 5 yrars) he sent them what he could get from the phone, 9 months & said 6 years to follow as waiting for bank to post them. Im fuming,i called estate agent this morning who said oh we never had any contact with said solicitors, as we were away when the sale was accepted they preasurised us for a solicitor so we just went( against my gut feeling 🙄) with who they said and turned out to be a middle man despite emails with estate agents logo on it?? Now out of pocket & worse 5 wasted weeks, oh then she turned around & said our buyers changed from who our estateagent recommended because they wanted it to move quickly, despite telling us in the original they were happy to wait until we were ready, oh and we should of chased conveyancing as they are not solicitors only office juniors😡 now she tells me. No one has returned my calls despite me leaving messages saying urgent. I really could scream my lungs out, sorry i really heeded to vent.
Hope everyone is enjoying the weather and its the weekend enjoy x

Oh Haze, that is awful.

We used Davisons Law, not sure what area you are, I always get through and speak to the solicitor, they answer emails straight away.

We have news, have sold again, and buying a different house. The thatched one, she is deciding if she wants to sell, has found a new fella with 4 kids of his own, so needing the room.
