Follow-up to www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4041606-AIBU-to-walk-away-from-this-house-purchase

Don’t even know where to start.

I’m a little worried that what I’ve posted so far makes me recognisable but what I’m going to post makes the sellers from hell recognisable so I’m not sure of the best way to go about it.

I don't think anyone on MN will recognise them just from the fact they're selling a house OP, tell us what's happened! Have you spoken to the EA? What did he want?

LivingDeadGirlUK · 08/10/2020 20:57

It sounds like they are trying to mess you around still?

TheLoveOfMoney · 08/10/2020 20:58

Don't risk your mental health for a thread here OP. You can put as little information as you like. Or you can just say, the house fell through and we can join you on a journey for a new one.

ohflipit · 08/10/2020 20:59

You can't not tell us! I've been on the edge of my seat all afternoon and evening! (Wish there was a code for "Mumsnet" on my work timesheet! Blush)

ChristMyArse · 08/10/2020 21:00

Hope you're ok OP. They really are arseholes and it sounds like it's about to get worse!

As much as I'm desperate to know what happened I must admit you're right
BigRedBoat · 08/10/2020 21:01

It's fine OP, your not giving out their names or address, even if they do get recognised it's hardly like you've put their name and address on here.

zoomiecraziness · 08/10/2020 21:01

No names or location specifics op and it doesn't matter if they do recognise you.. you're anonymous to everyone else so they can't accuse you of anything as no one knows you or them!

mummabubs · 08/10/2020 21:01

I work in the NHS so am big on confidentiality OP, I think unless you plan to post their name or the address of the house I can't see how they'd be identifiable from anything you've posted, but only share what you're comfortable with. 😊

m00rfarm · 08/10/2020 21:01

Maybe tell us, and then delete the thread ...

chillied · 08/10/2020 21:02

Write in some sort of code? But yes, a good idea to stay out of the papers if you can. Tell us in chocolate analogies?

InSpaceNooneCanHearYouScream · 08/10/2020 21:03

As you've not given any details at all of locations, places,or names, this is absolutely not recognisable!

Yes!! ... start with just a Whisper ...
olbndansmummy · 08/10/2020 21:04

Can we all pm you and then you pm us back? I won't sleep til I know.

LookItsMeAgain · 08/10/2020 21:05

I can say that I have no clue who you are, who the sellers are, where the house is or anything that might be considered 'identifiable' @Quandaries. So, from my point of view, feel free to PM me if you like (so that you can get it off your chest). I am genuinely never going to be able to tell anyone :D

VinylDetective · 08/10/2020 21:05

Place marking in an utterly shameless way.

SkiingIsHeaven · 08/10/2020 21:06

@ohflipit brilliant Smile

LookItsMeAgain · 08/10/2020 21:06

I'd go with the way that you had called them previously:
NB - New Buyer
S - Seller (or you could use SS - Shitty Sellers)
You

I'd say we'd be able to follow that.

Backofthenewt · 08/10/2020 21:07
Wine
ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 08/10/2020 21:07

Pretty sure there are lots of shitty sellers out there OP and yours will never be quite sure if you are talking about them or not.... Wink

PurpleFlower1983 · 08/10/2020 21:07

Ooh I love this thread!

RandomMess · 08/10/2020 21:09

We need a nickname for the EA...

Londoner90 · 08/10/2020 21:09

🍷🍷🍷 Have some wine OP!

MiddleClassProblem · 08/10/2020 21:09

Arggggh!!!!

appleandstrawberries · 08/10/2020 21:09

Throw in some fake information that doesn't change the main story
