Its a long one. I've named changed because it's very outing.
Anyway we bought a new house to love in earlier this year.
But because of the property market and I get really stressed with moving. The plan was to buy the new house. Move house.
Then get the old one fixed and sell.
So it took a few months to get the new house good enough to move into.
We moved house at the end of August.
I really thought it would just take a few days and then maybe we'd get the old house sorted a d it would be ready to sell, or if not just get it on for sale. Because its expensive having two houses on the go.
We are paying two mortgages and two council taxes.
Most of the savings have gone on renovations of the new house. There really isn't any money spare now.
Our income is enough just to pay for essential living costs and for bills of both houses.
I've spent the last 2- 3 weekends. Sorting stuff out. And getting mine and the kids stuff sorted. There is really limited items of ours in the house.
Husband said to leave his stuff and he would sort it.
When they were moving the furniture, it was sorted at the last minute so I hadnt had time to take the things out of the shelves and bookcases.
He and a friend with a van moved all the furniture. He threw everything that was in the shelves and on bookcases in a huge heap int he middle of the room.
Currently because of the amount of time I've spent sorting out the new house. It is really nice, and we are fine.
But thebold house still has his crap.
Each and every room is filled with his crap in a huge pile in the middle of the room.
He hadnt sorted out a single item of his, his clothes or anything.
We've now been living in the new house for nearly 3 weeks. And are no closer to putting the old house up for sale. Anytime I mention it to him, he replies he'll sort it and changes the subject.
We can't afford to keep laying for two house. Obviously we are able to meet our current expenses, but I just want this house sold as soon as possible. I'm worried it is going to fall into disrepair the longer it is left.
I'm just sick of it. I can't do any lifting any more either. I hurt myself doing some lifting- bags of books and any heavy lifting or too much walking right now causes me problems.
