All you need to know about Andrew's dad re us buying a house:

[cosmolinguist]

This morning we found out that the house we were trying to buy has been withdrawn from the market. Andrew rang his parents to tell them...

And his dad asked if we'd found another house.

An hour after this one fell through! On the last working day before Christmas! Or did he think we should have kept up the house viewings along with Andrew's spending all of his free time at either the bank or the estate agent's trying to get this house?

I am unspeakably angry on your behalf. If you wanna talk/rant/distraction, pls call me :(

Thanks, but I can't even muster the energy to be more than exasperated at the moment. I'll probably feel differently after the fortnight's holiday I'm giving myself from thinking about houses now that I can't do anything about them.

My second thought when I heard was at least the timing gives you a period to relax about it before you have to start looking again.

(My first thought when I heard about was "Ohhh fuck!")
