Just a bit of background first so you know the kind of relationship we have. We’ve lived in our current rented house for 2 and a half years. The landlord (we thought he was a tenant at the time) showed us around, and they now manage it themselves. The landlady gave me 2 bags of baby clothes, a highchair and a baby swing when she found out i was pregnant, and she invited me out for a meal with her friends a few months after DD was born. DD is now 22 months and the meal was about 18 months ago. Since then we’ve spoken a handful of times. We don’t run in the same circles but we talk when we bump into each other.
A few weeks ago, we put in an offer on a house which was accepted. Even though we didn’t really know how long the sale would take, i sent a private message to landlady via facebook, to let her know but made it clear we weren’t giving notice yet as we didn’t know how long it would take (still don’t have a completion date, still haven’t given notice)
The landlady has messaged me several times that people want to view the house. We did one viewing last week, and she messaged me today saying there are 5 different people who want to view, and do i want her to do the viewings when we’re not there. I also saw that she’s advertised the house on her Facebook profile. Im all for facilitating viewings when we can, but we haven’t even given notice yet! And im finding it all a bit overwhelming.
I get anxious about my routine, and feel that his means i have to make sure im in and cant plan anything else. And i dont know if i want all of these people coming to have a look. A few is ok, but its getting a bit intense for me. AIBU? What should i say?
