one day we'll have a happy post...but today is not the day

The situation is not getting any better. We keep calling the letting agency, but they don't return our call. The prob is that we had to pay 150 pounds to apply for the place. It is standard to have to pay an application fee when you rent a place. The thing is that if they do not want you to live there, you do not get your money back.

To make things even more complicated, the women who processed our account at HSBC totally effed us over (trying to keep it pg for the kids). We wrote US checks for our HSBC account and she told us that it would take 5-7 days. Well on day 8, I decided to find out why we still had zero in our account and the reason is because she made a mistake. For a large sum, it actually takes 8 weeks to get money into the account, not 5 days. big oops, and best of all, they do not want to deal with their mistake. We have to figure out a way to fix it. We are currently working on that.
