Thank you. Now, the rest?

Finally.

I’m delighted that a very much shortened signed letter, emailed to Taylor Wimpey was enough for our cheque to arrive super fast through the post Yesterday. I am honestly pleasantly surprised and grateful they didn’t try to twist any further.

Anyway, in the interest of balance, the letter we signed simply stated the EXACT settlement figure is, and shall remain confidential, and we accept a cheque of that value as full and final settlement of fuel bills up to and including 31st March 2010. Nothing else. No conclusion of “all matters” or agreeing to “all terms”, no ambiguity.

And it did the trick.

Brilliant.

Now, if only Wimpey and Wood Newton between them could finish fixing the house, we’d be happy campers at last, perhaps before our two-and-a-half year anniversary here at Oxley Park?!

At least it looks like we’re dry inside

Well, despite Wimpey apparently doing their best to silence us and/or stop us from claiming reimbursement money they already agreed to pay (while apparently lying in the process), there is a bit of good news to share.

We’ve had a lot of rain here in Oxley Park lately, LOTS of rain. And, touch wood, it doesn’t look like any of it is finding its way into the property.

That’s right folks, two years in, and we have (apparently, let’s not jinx it) a water tight home!

Be good if Taylor Wimpey and Wood Newton between them would just finish off the last few bits, and Wimpey pay us the money they owe us, without adding ridiculous last minute clauses. We might finally start feeling settled and happy in our first real family home.

Hey, I know they keep twisting, but we can dream can’t we?
