Thats got me thinking Rooksie, can you do a poll on the most excuses they come up with or comments! All 3 left here on Sat and said "well that certainly gives us something to think about"! Like they'd been to a carpet treaders etiquette workshop!

Here are my most favourite excuses:-

1. we've only just started looking and our house isn't on the market
2. lovely house, lovely location but it just isn't 'us'
3. Too small
4. Too big
5. garden too small
6. garden too big
7. we're just 'looking' at whats availble in the area! (no plans on moving tho)
8. oh it has stairs? Shame as we're looking for a bungalow (did you read the details)
9. theres not enough room for our new stainless steel range, oh and you haven't got a dishwasher! (again did you read the details)
10. we couldn't cope with living on a bypass (exactly what bypass, and what house did you look at?????)
11. lovely house lovely village but there's not much nightlife (you don't say - its an old medieval village, planning laws are very restricted, if a Pizza Hut or Stringfellows were to pop up on the village green, I think someone 'may' complain)

I could go on................

Personally I like to think she saw my nearly brand new 3 series (now sadly gone to a new owner) and wanted to be better than me

1st viewing last Sunday. Good feedback on Monday morning, she will be putting an offer in on Monday afternoon. Hasn't rung back since Monday morning .

2nd viewing should have been today at 3.45 but she rang this morning to ask if she could come at 2.15. No, not home from work and school run until 3.45 as told yesterday when time agreed!! Coming next week at 3.45 instead.

Fed up of making house spotless for no reason .

Shorty

Did anyone see watchdog last night? It had that National Homebuyers on. Apparently someone had their house valued at 168,000, National Homebuyers offered to buy it for 100k
