I have removed the spam now.

I couldn't tell if it was requested or just another spam bot. I only translated the first paragraph. Just seemed like an odd place for a full page add LOL

Big news for me... I finally close on my new house on Friday. It's been a bit of a twisty road, but all the bumps are finally smoothing out. Loan's approved, paperwork is all done... It's finally happening.

Congratulations. I am happy for you.

Thanks, It's been a long road, but I'm just about ready to move in. The last of the paperwork is all but done. I'm just waiting on a check to clear... fingers crossed, tomorrow

The site was down for several hours for reasons unknown to me. I contacted the support but haven't received an answer yet. Now the site is working again.

Edit:

I got a reply from the support. They said that there was a problem with the server and the technical team was able to solve it.

After six weeks on sick leave, I'm going back to work on Monday. I need some structure in my day and I miss my colleagues. I'll be staying in the emergency flat until 18 August. After that, I'll have to go back to my old flat and put up with the neighbour who was the main reason for my sick leave. A good friend has offered to let me stay with him in his house temporarily. The problem is that I really don't like being a burden on people, so I have a hard time accepting help. But deep down, I know I have to take a leap of faith.

Good luck Selene. I completely understand wanting structure. The biggest hurdle to me actually retiring is filling my day. I'm almost there. I've re-invented my business from contracting /construction, to just basic minor repair jobs, I can pick and choose. I still need a reason to get out of the house and socialize. Being a handyman at the resort gives me that reason.

Sorry you still have to deal with the neighbors. Hopefully you can find a nice flat on the top floor in a quiet neighborhood that suits you. Fingers crossed. It's a pain in the rump, but the ultimate solution will be to literally 'find a place you can live with'

I wish you peace and luck
