Sleep well Niamh. I'm sure you need it. You must be exhausted. LOL at your baby waving too. I hope she doesn't keep you awake. (Mine used to wake up at 2am and tango!) Not long now and you and your little girl will be sitting in the Aussie sunshine. It will be worth it.

You think so??? LOL. I think she looks cheeky.

PMSL.......

Well, I have sort of good news. We have a tentative offer on the house. Not a great one, but an OK one. BUT it all depends on finance. We'll have to wait until next week at the earliest to hear more... It's from someone I know privately. I have been working on him for a month... I should be an EA. Keep your fingers crossed and Niamh I need you down on your knees. I'm down on all 4s for your cheque stillwub:

Gutted for you Niamh, but it's not over yet. Send them a letter threatening court action and also mention that you want compensation for the additional expense you've had to incur:curse:

Good idea. He has to pay what he owes. The CAB would hopefully be able to help too.

I was hoping that the people who said they wanted our house would've reduced their price for a quick sale - no such luck Why is it just us guys who are reducing?????:curse:

Morning all,

Give the viewers time Mary - they might reduce in a week or two if they have no viewers. We all started off optimistic and we all believed the EAs crap that the houses would sell easily. Fingers crossed that they do sell. xxx

Same for you too Debs. I know that you are on a 475 like me and we don't have the luxury of 5 years to get there, but hopefully the market will improve in a few weeks. Get everything sorted for letting the house - as an option, chose an agent, get the details done etc and tell them you will give them a date to put it on for rental. That way, you can quickly decide to rent it out if it doesn't sell.

Sorry to hear you had a bad time last night Niamh. I'm sure we all will have / have had days like that. You have 3 kids and another on the way, have just cleared your house, your OH is being shafted by his boss and you are moving to the other side of the World and going through a protracted visa process! So not much to worry about there. . When you look at that list, it's no wonder you are stressed!! Hope you are feeling better today - we are here when you have a wobble.

When you put it like that Nic I wouldn't be normal if I wasn't stressed you actually made me laugh in a good way too im not to bad Ill be better if My Dh gets a phone call and gets off early so we can book tickets today though


I have to admire you though you have been through a lot and still have a great attitude and Mary

one day we will have the houses sorted sold and be in Australia in our new homes sipping a cocktail (after I pop I cant wait LOL) and wondering why we worried so much

Just wondering is every one renting first then buying a house I rather like the Idea of building our own home have always wanted to do that a girl can dream

Glad to hear I made you laugh. I have to laugh, otherwise I'd cry, (and maybe jump off a cliff.) We will one day, be sitting there wondering why we were so worried. I just hope that day is really soon!!!

We will be renting first. I think Aussie house prices may be starting to slide so I wouldn't buy for a while. Plus, it is risky buying somewhere unknown - much better to get a feel for a place first. We would like to build too. My cousins out there have all built their own houses.

Busy day for me today - have a load of stuff to get ready to be collected by the autioneer tomorrow. Couldn't get it all out in case we had viewers, but I doubt we'll have any now ....
