I HAD TO post this ... lol

WE HAVE A VIEWING! ..... YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ......

BUT!! ...... altho they're in a good position as have nothing to sell, the plan is ..........


Wait for it! ...........


They're looking for a house to turn into a nursery! .... ... ROFL

Apparently they're looking for a residential dwelling with big drive to fit 5+ cars (we can squeeze about 8, but 5 is comfy), a large garden (115ft, which IS big for the area), and don't want to do anything to the house (totally renovated back as far as brickwork)

I can't see it fitting the bill at all, but hey, it's a viewing!

Good excuse to give the house a tidy if nothing else ...

Tomorrow at 2pm, can't wait, this is gonna be hilarious! ...

our estate agent is sending a surveyor round (at his expense) to make sure its been valued at the right price! He wants to know whats putting buyers off. In a way I'm pleased that something positive is being done. We'll be able to see the surveyor's report and be there when he goes round the house with the agent.

very scared! Have put a seperate thread as I've had no experience of surveyors!

Hi Poshrice
What a pain it all is, everyone keeps asking... have you got a date yet?....... thought you'd be in Oz for christmas!!!!!!!!!!!! (we didn't say which christmas tee hee) I bet you're getting the same.

We're not far from you in Sedgley and would be more than happy to meet up for a drink with fellow frustrated migrants to be!!

Rooksie the first lot didn't even bother to turn up at 3pm, the second lot did but appeared shocked that we only had one shop in the village. Not much to say really other than feeling exhausted after all that cleaning! Going to have a nice evening in front of the box again!

Well after passing by a friends house after work this morning (nightwork from last nigh kinda thing), I got home and to bed at 9am.

The other half has had a bad cold the last few days, and altho she seemed fine last night, by today she had gone backwards and was feeling REALLY rough today.

Sooooooooooo, yup you guessed it, we both lie dormant in bed when the bell rang at 2pm ...

There's me moaning on about not getting viewings and then fail to wake when we DO have one! ...

One side of me says if they don't get back again, then it's our own fault! ... other says if their keen they'll arrange another viewing.

Ooooooooooooo! ... just thought, if they DO, that'd be a 2nd viewing and that's a good thing ennit! ...
