Re: Things you don't want to hear.

Last week I was in a long queue when phoning the hospital about an appointment my husband had. I eventually got to the top of the queue, an hour or so later, and got the message, "There is a problem, please try later". I was spitting bullets.

Our house has just gon the market. We have instructed the estate agent of our choice.
