Message: <blockquote data-quote="SlimLizzy" data-source="post: 2735184" data-attributes="member: 488270">12.118.40am FBG 5.4That's despite a very late dinner, bowl of nut granola and small glass of red wine at 11pm when I suddenly realised I hadn't eaten.Red wine opened to use in lasagne and also red onion marmalade.  Kiki doesnt approve of the onion chopping, she was squinting and frequently sneezing.A kilo of onions produced two small jars of marmalade.It's sunny today with a light breeze so might wash the sheets.However the biggest issue is that i have found out why the glass door is stiff. Some if the plaster between the wall and the runners has cracked and shifted. Think it will be a very tricky repair. And on pulling out a piece of furniture discovered flaking plaster behind there too. Not sure if we have any if that colour paint left.   The unusually wet weather a month ago has apparently caused some rising damp and there is limewash flaking off in the hallway, on the opposite side of the wall. MrSlim joked that the house will resent being soid and it seems he is right.Really need MrSlim here,The French legal system requires us to be responsible for faults in the building for ten years, even after it is sold. So we would have to bear the cost of any repairs for a further four years. I have known about this and worried about it intermittently, but MrSlim is says its not likely to be a problem.  Doesn't look like that to me.  Don't think I can live with it hanging over me, so again am reconsidering whether to move just now. And wondering what the financial penalties would be if we did drop out of the sale now.  The agents have expended considerable time and effort finding us a buyer. Surely that can't be free?Also I know that there is a legal clause frequently applied to non proffesional work on a house, whereby the seller declares all known faults and problems and the buyer accepts the house as it is with no redress for "hidden" problems that appear later.  Essential to declare everything in this case, because if it is believed the seller did know about something and not reveal it , then prosecution is possible.  Was expecting to have this applied, but the agent is very definite about our obligations a ten years guarantee for the work MrSlim has done. With liability if anything fails.Spent hours looking for a suitable home yesterday, but with my anxieties about the sale it's not going well. Haven't heard from MrSlim for over twenty four hours, which is very unusual.  Apart from email confirmation of ferry ticket for myself to attend the wedding and return to France afterwards.  ON MY OWN.Kiki is no help, a cuddle would be great, but she will have none if it.Stressed and almost immobilised with panic but  I had better try and do something useful. Perhaps coffee will help?[USER=238814]@gennepher[/USER] of course forgiven.The only thing I hid from Mr slim was the mower getting stuck, which I did tell him about once it was safely recovered.He doesn't know about the problems discovered yesterday yet. Its not kind to hit him with bad news when he has only just woken up.</blockquote>
