Well after 2 months of being "off market" we are now "back on". There has been a major upgrade on our road so couldn't have anybody viewing when diggers, trucks and piles of mud were outside the house (kids loved it though
)
We are 10k under our original price but hopefully we'll get an offer soon. So back to the tedium of keeping the house clean and waiting for the phone to ring

I am sat here having a quick cuppa and a BE fix while I take a breather from getting the house ready for tomorrow when we have 4 Estate Agents round to value our house
I have done so much painting/packing/tidying and cleaning over the last couple of weeks I can't believe we are still in a mess. Although it is now confined to one room! I cannot believe I have packed nigh on 60 boxes and put them in storage and the place still looks full
I am already hating having the house on the market cos of housework, I am NOT cut out for it, n ot when there are SO many more interesting things to do during the day

Good luck to you too, never sold a house before so it is going to be a steep learning curve for us I think!
