I want first dibs on what they leave behind.
Oh wait, I guess you should get that. I want second dibs!
Would you like the broken doors or kitchen?
Ooh, there's loads of fuel for Bobby at the BBQ!
Anyway. The bailiff called me just as I was trying to post earlier (so inconsiderate
) He said that they were just waiting for a taxi and he would call me as they left. He wanted me to arrive before the police left just in case they tried to come back etc.
I waited for his call and actually drove past them as I went back (I was only about 10 seconds around the corner). The two police cars waited for me to go into the house then left themselves and the bailiff signed the property back over to me and I changed the locks. He said that they are usually quite straight forward, but I was one of the unlucky ones.
So, I had a look around the house. Four of the doors upstairs need replacing and three downstairs, it's going to need a new kitchen too. and I'm dying to redecorate the living room.
I was speaking to the neighbours, apparently she doesn't have a lot of friends in the street because "She gets drunk every night and when she's drunk she gobs off at people".
The boy has been expelled from two schools and he's the reason the shed door has been ripped off, he's been in there smoking with his mates.
Upstairs smells like a pub used to, smoke and beer.
I left at about three, got in the house and face planted food.
Two things;
1. The bailiff was great, really fab. I didn't realise it until I had to sign for the house but I was actually shaking!
2. You guys are also great. While I was sat in the car waiting you were a great distraction making me laugh about the situation but also engaging in interesting conversation. Thank you.
