THE HAIR

 


GOOD MORNING.

After the comments about me hair yesterday, I've decided today I will go to 'Just Cuts' at the mall and have a TRIM.

Anxious.  Last time I went there and asked for JUST A TRIM, the damn bitch cut off over 12 inches of me hair!

I was outraged.  And vowed to never go there again, or trust a hairdresser.

But, I can't do it myself, so I will go to a different salon, and make my wishes perfectly clear.

Let's call it a 'treat' for me to get out and about.  I might even stop in and visit Lacy and Keera, and see how the guinea pig is doing.  IF he's survived the night that is.  

I have not heard from her yet on that score.  I hope he's survived.

The other thing i need to work on today ... is getting the ball in motion,  in relation to doing the necessary repairs to the couple of areas flagged in the Builders Report.

None of it is BIG SHIT, but it will still take TIME. Which we don't have a lot of, if we are to get it done before settlement.  


Good news, CHOCOLATE the Guinea Pig has survived the night. Tough little guy.

I didn't get to sleep until around 4am... kept dreaming about the jobs that need doing. Grrrrr.
BONE TIRED now. 

Sitting outside the mall... waiting for the salon to open. No appointments necessary at this place, it's first in, first served. 

DOGSTARS:  We have to honour the first contract ... unless they pull out for whatever reason.  At least, that's what I understand from all I know about Real Estate. Which isn't that much!  I'm sure if we are put in a position to have to consider something else, our Estate Agent will know all the in's and out's.

ABOVE:  I was first through the door at the salon this morning.  Asked for a 'decent trim', and I'm really happy with the amount we decided to take off.  And without the added length, the curls pop up more, nice bonus.

After that I popped into the supermarket for some dips, then came home.

Visiting Lacy and Keera will have to wait, I'm so damn tired... might have a bloody nap.

Our builder called in this lunchtime..  thanks Steve... and checked out the thing on the 'too do' list. All are minor fixes. What a relief. We will start on them this weekend.   
Now.. where was I? 
Oh yes... trying to have a nap.

WELL SEEMS THE MINOR ISSUES BROUGHT UP IN THE BUILDERS REPORT IS ENOUGH FOR THEM TO DECIDE TO PULL OUT OF THE CONTRACT!!!
We are back to square one.

Hoping like hell the viewers from yesterday are still keen.  

I'm gutted. 

THIRD TIME LUCKY?   Or shall we aim for 8? 

DAMN DAMN DAMN.

VICKI:  I know for a fact the inspection cost them in excess of $800.  They got the LIM report from us for free, which I now regret.

ONWARD.... there will be someone out there wanting our lovely home.

Ya know what?  I am already feeling more positive about the house sale happening eventually.
Remember, we are in no rush.
We now have time to do those minor repairs ourselves.
And if those arseholes could back out of the sale over minor, piddly arse things, they don't actually DESERVE my lovely home.
Fuck them.

ABOVE:  These sneaked in me gob.  NO CRITICISM thanks.  Emotional support jelly beans are ALLOWED.

TRACY: We have checked with our lawyer.  They can pull out over any reason they feel is justified, and they had a 'Solicitor' clause in the contract, meaning their Solicitor could cancel the contract if they felt it was in the best interest of their client.

Seems they thought the repairs would take too long, the client needed somewhere to move to quickly, and so cancelled the contract.

We feel like they simply changed their minds and wanted out of the contract, and used the Builders Report as their escape route.  I'm just so happy they had to pay through the nose for the builder's report, to do that.  The writing was on the wall for a long time, we just didn't see it clearly.

8.18 pm:  Thursday night... I dropped Stew off at the pub, then I spent an hour with the kids before joining Stew at the pub.
I was there for a good couple of hours, chatting with a couple of girlfriends, and of course, the blokes.
Then Stew and I had dinner there, beef sliders and some fries.  Very nice.  We don't usually get dinner there, it was nice for a change.

Now that we are home, I'm going to watch last night's Coronation Street.  Then probably go to bed.

Catch ya tomorrow.

  1. Good luck with the hair trim. I am sure it will go fine. It is standard procedure. Nobody should cut a foot of hair off your head. I can't imagine that happening again. Why did the buyers wait so long to give the list of repairs? I thought things were settled "as is". now it puts you in a time crunch.... I would laugh if the new lookers just put an unconditional offer on it right now!

    Good luck at the salon. It will be shorter dry, than when they cut it wet. It will grow. It needs the damage parts cut off.

    If you happen to read this while you are still there, consider asking how often you can safely color your hair. My guy says about 4 mos.

    I think you are better off without them.

    And assuming they paid for the inspection, now you know what to fix for the next buyer.

    Sorry about the contract falling through. What about the house you were interested in - I presume that is a no go now? As you say, it will happen but hopefully not 8 times, lol. Audrey BTW, the LIM re;port is always useful to have and at least no surprises with things that would need fixing from a builder's report.

  12. Actually I am not 100% sure they can use minor issues to avoid the contract. Unless the report shows many or major issues then they can insist on you fixing them but cannot use it as an excuse to wriggle out if the contract. Otherwise it would be a free for all of people changing their minds & using stupid “building” issues to cancel the contract. Check with your lawyer.

    Sorry to hear your house contract is no more! Obviously I don’t understand or know the NZ real estate laws but know absolutely this cannot happen in Australia. Your hair looks nice, your house is beautiful, family loves you and you will get to where you want to be soon. I love purple and blue jelly beans! Enjoy

      Rhonda, Australia's real estate law on conditional contracts are just about the same as New Zealand's. In both countries, if you have paid a holding deposit it is possible that you could lose it if you pull out before going unconditional. Audrey

  17. Sounds like they got cold feet but from the start sounded dodgy!! Sorry this has happened to you but hopefully someone who will love your house comes along soon. Love your hair. They did a great job with the trim. Glad to hear that Chocolate made it through the night.

  21. They have shagged you around from day one...yeah I understand they aren't paying peanut for your home but do they have to act like wombles...I'm glad they don't get to enjoy your beautiful home they can live somewhere else and make somebody else lives hell cause what is it 6 mths after they move in they can complain and about not picking shitty stuff. Glad your night st pub blew away some cobwebs

  22. Those buyers are stupid. I hope it takes forever for them to find their home and that one of yours with interest will come through. I can't imagine how minor those repairs needed are. You and Stew with the amazing Steve maintain your home beautifully. Hugs.

    100% emotional support jelly beans are allowed! My emotional support candy is either tic tacs or smarties.

    I have had the same thing happen with my hair where you ask for a certain amount of hair cut and they take a WHOLE lot more! It happened to me one and was so upsetting! I was cutting 12 inches for locks of love...but had grown it out long enough that I would still have hair down to my shoulders. While the lady was cutting my hair, her mother came into the shop behind me and was like "ohhh my all that pretty hair cut off". I should have known then! When I was shocked at the result when I finally saw it, the stylist said "well you moved in the chair". I was like " I jumped 6 inches?" And then she changed it to "well it's for a good cause! I literally had less than 1-2 inches of hair on my head! THe cut looked good but WAY too short!

  24. What annoying news! These people are the worst! Hopefully some of the other interested parties will make an offer. Take care.

  25. Sorry about the contract but there has been a ton if interested folks & successful open houses for your home so it will sell. Don't worry too much as I know things will work out.
