          Yhey are such sweet darlings. :love: :love:

          Yes, they can be such sweet darlings when i least expect of them.
          Especially for DD2... her understanding on adult matters overwhelm me.
          Guess though we didn't plan for her to pop into this world, God had other
          plans for me. God must've placed her with me as my guiding star... :please:
          Busymom:
          Wish you aplenty of luck and šŸ™ you will soon find that new place and also sell the present one at a good price. :xedfingers:
          Thank you.. thank you.. :xedfingers:

            foreverj:
            hi buds, u mean u r selling the current place?

            Hubs is in the midst of it.
            foreverj:
            wat abt the in-laws?
            They've been given suggestions for the many options.
            Guess what? They wanna hear nothing of the suggestions. Sigh.
            foreverj:
            where r they gg to stay?
            Well, BIL is not helping to offer anything so far... knowing that the
            place is up for sale. PILs... sigh... i guess are just too proud to ask.
            So frankly, i dunno for sure at this point. They've decided to get their
            own place but i foresee it may not be so easy.
            foreverj:
            dun tell me move in with u? :!:
            Yah leh.. dun tell me! :!:
            foreverj:
            cannot be right, then wats the point?
            Yep, you're right. There's reali no point if that DOES reali happen.
            There is no guarantee that won't happen. They may say they want
            a place to crash while settling theirs and then may eventually become
            forever. Sigh. Niwae, this is where hubs decisiveness gotta prove itself
            again lor. Reali dunno what the odds are now.
            foreverj:
            btw dear, left a note earlier for u but think u didn't catch it. just wanted to let u know i'm šŸ™ ing for u fren :love: pray u'll be able to live the life that u n the girls deserve very soon šŸ™‚
            I did receive your note. I was pretty depressed then.

            Reading your note provided me a lotta solace till i teared, i haven't gotten
            straight into replying to it yet. Thank you for understanding my situation
            so well. You were the 1st one to come offer your shoulder and your ear
            when you caught on i was feeling down... cos i do write in circles sometimes.. šŸ˜›

            We go a long way oredi foreverj... we've been starting out in this forum
            together... like childhood friends growing up together... :hugs: I hope
            the tsunami will be over very very soon. :xedfingers: Thank you my friend.

              buds, this time around, please MAKE sure that you're included in co-tenancy. I.e., property in yours and DH's name. Not that we are teaching you bad or what šŸ˜› ....part of the problem at the current place is because IL's have a stake in it right??!
              buds:
              I hope the tsunami will be over very very soon. :xedfingers: Thank you my friend.
              buds, I'm šŸ™ -ing that it isn't just the tsunami that is over but all the undercurrents and ripple effect (and ba;ck-lash) etc etc etc would all be over!

                No way! Not trying to kaypoh, but this you have to insist. There are other options for your PILs to rent temporarily while they find another place to buy. It's all too easy for them to bump in and the ugly task of asking them to leave falls on your shoulders again.

                P/S: Is there any way that buds_hub could get that place for them (rather than leaving it to them?)

                  buds, it DOES make a difference when the role of the 'landlady' is reversed. šŸ˜‰

                  we are moving out, but i am open to PIL shifting in with us again when FIL retires (cos dh is only child); but i think they may be too proud to do so. šŸ˜‰

                        My heart is aching too. It's been aching 10 yrs already despite the fact
                        that mei tian wo gen zi ji jiang ming tian hui gen hao. But if i braved 10
                        yrs of the storm and still came back alive, there's no reason why i shud
                        fall back now, especially since i am stronger and i have solid back up. :evil:

                        Plus this time i AM the one laying the cards across the table.. i'm frankly
                        using my one and only trump card now. šŸ˜‰ So, yes.. i WILL stay
                        positive and thanks, i will take care. :hugs:
