Well it's been cloudy and chilly here all day, the directors of the firm that own our place have been to see us today to tell us that our tenancy is safe, they're selling up. The estate agent is coming Monday afternoon to do the details of the place. Mind you it could takes years before it gets sold, it's not standard construction so you wouldn't get a mortgage, I hope it does just because the present owners say we're safe doesn't mean the new ones will feel the same.

Rents around here are outrageous! I've lived here 28 years, but the building was bought 3 or 4 years ago. Luckily they have kept the increases down, although another one is coming. 1 bedroom apartments are often upwards of $2000 a month. Gonna have to start looking for a nice refrigerator box

Oh the estate agent was nice, he was one of the directors of the firm and it was just a visit and he also said we were safe as I don't know what but it's being put into the terms and being sold with sitting tenants.
One of the others came round today to take all the measurements and photo's, although I wouldn't let him take photos of parts of the rooms, I told him I'm not having photo's put about showing our computers and equipment. The place is going to be auctioned and they'll send us a copy of the particulars. It will be advertised on the auction house site and in their catalogue.
I'm still worrying though so today I should have been sorting out getting 10 but can't concentrate on why it keeps failing to download via Windows Update, heads all over the place.

Maybe it's being sold with you guys as sitting tenants as a guaranteed income for the next guys, I do hope you can stay there. I don't blame you putting your foot down with the photographer I wouldn't want all my stuff branded all over the place either.
I know it's no fun but just try and take each day as it comes.
Good luck with 10, I'm not changing over yet but I know how hectic it is at the moment, I can't get a word out of his Lordship other than a request for a brew.

That is what is supposed to be happening, the current owners told us our tenancy was safe and so did the estate agent. I'll have to ask him just what is being done but the way he was talking something is being put into the sale to keep us safe, oh and it's going to auction. If they bring anyone round to view I'll make a point of saying "you do know we're staying" 
Still not got 10, well I have in a VM but that is the last preview they did, the icon tells me I nearly ready and I clicked the button to be told when it was ready. I know I had 4 failures showing in Windows Update on launch day, no errors or anything just says Upgrade to Windows 10 and in the status column Fail.
I've not bothered doing anything about it not had time really, if it doesn't arrive by the weekend I may try then although Kelly has just phoned and they're all coming over Saturday for my birthday and she says Cameron wants to play his recorder to me.

Just put a note up at the door saying if your names not on the list then you're not coming in! LOL! I am glad that you have been included in the sale so to speak and that you can stay there.
I spoke to John about 10 and you're not on your own about having problems with the update, apparently lots of people are. I'm steering well clear of it at the mo, I'm having enough trouble getting my printer to work let alone anything else!
Ooh good family weekend ahead, I bet you'll have a fabulous time with the kids and grandkids, I hope they spoil you. Are you going anywhere for your birthday or are you having a nice relaxing weekend?

Just a quiet time, it would have been even quieter if Kelly hadn't said she and her lot were coming over.
I don't leave the house anymore, I can manage to get round the house but that's only because the loo is there, as soon as I start to struggle to breathe I can just get to the loo and relax while I get my breath back, it's a good job we live in a bungalow. :roflmao:

Oh yes, in fact they've been again today and she's raided them again. This is why I'm late starting to come to the forums been busy with accounts then a quick visit from the kids again, got to go now and sort out food before Masterchef starts then I might get a chance to catch up.
That's good! Oh you sound like me, we have had a family day today...I took Han roller skating again this morning which was great apart from I fell over bashed my hand and grazed my elbow! 
Then this afternoon all of us went to see ANT Man at the cinema...

John really wanted to see it in 3D but it was only on in 2D, we had a good time though and then to top it off we went out had tea and now we have just caught up on all our baking progs! So all in all I would say quite a productive day.
