So, only 3 weeks to go!

I'm sorry I don't have the time to read all the pages, but I hope
some great things are going to happen out there, houses being

Here's a big hug for all of you ((()))

I might have to join when I get near 10,000 - it is too shameful.

Hi M, How envious am I of you only got 3 weeks left Very happy for you though. House selling process seems much better over there, is it?

Kris - Love the story. Will have to ask DD1 if she has any to tell. The only thing I will say is that she has this pink blow up chair with a massive thingy stuck up in the middle of it and I won't allow her to walk out the door with it blown up, can you imagine the neighbours faces I also have the AS vans deliver here every Monday and their vans are sign written with Delivering Pleasure all down the sides, what must the neighbours think of me?

Can't work the smilies again?????

Thanks Tracy - fingers crossed for some good news for you soon.



Morning M - sounds like you had a lovely time. 3 weeks - EEEK are you ready?? Are you excited?? (Sounds like an Ann Summers party!) Fingers crossed that you have a smooth move and soon you will be posting from Cairns!!!



How are you today?

PMSL, I bet your neighbours think you are running a house of ill repute - that or your OH is a very lucky man.

Your smilies were working Nicky......

Well, I have a ton of stuff to sort today as the Auctioneer is coming to collect a load of stuff tomorrow. We will finally get rid of that heap of furniture in the hall. Then it's on to the loft. ARGGHHHH

Mortgage rates here are on the up and especially on the Gold Coast house prices are on the way up too so need to sell this bloody house.......I tell you its so annoying even being the other side of the world

Right

I have to set the scene a little

The person holding the Anne Summers party was my brother in laws ex girlfriend, Helen - she is the most girly girl I have ever met, she has a barbie pink jeep and her flat is totally decorated in shades of pink and she looks a bit like a barbie doll too come to think of it, its weird but she seems really dumb but she cant be because she owns and runs a nursey so she cant be all that thick!! - I on the other hand am completely opposite to that and the only reason I was invited really is because I was extended family so I also felt I had to go too which I really wasnt looking forward too as I knew it would be full of her mates who are all the same as her.
She rented out a room in her flat to a girl who was a hairdresser at Toni & Guys so she was also invited and had in turn invited a load of her friends to come along too so it was quite a big party.

When I got there, being a smoker, I had to sit in the corner by the windows which was the smoking area, and the other people there where her flat mate and a load of her mates who in all fairness where really nice - normal people that I got on really well with, more than Helen and her mates anyway.
At this point I need to throw in that one of them asked me if I could drop her off on my way home which wasnt a problem at all as it was on my way.

There was an obvious division in the room it was abit like school really, there was Helen and her girly mates on one side and her flat mates friends and me on the other.

So the party got going, much alcohol was flowing and everyone was getting drunker and drunker - I on the other hand was stone cold sober as I was driving home

then another of the flat mates work friend turned up late (and had obviously been drinking beforehand too) - she came in with someone else who on cursory glance could have been mistaken for a guy but it was obvious to me was a very male looking woman and I guessed lesbian - they obviously came over and joined our side of the room and it turned out the two of them were a couple.
So party is going along and the boy looking lesbian started asking the Anne summers woman did strap ons and other hardcore items, which I found hilarious but the looks on Helen and her mates faces said they werent so amused.
This girl was really quite funny and I was getting along quite well with them and having a good night.

But the mood was getting frosty and there was a definate divide in the room now and the Anne Summers woman was getting all flustered and irate at being heckled by the Lesbians!

Thats when it all changed.

Her and her mates genuinely believed this girl was a man! - which I couldnt see myself, yes she was guy looking but was obviously a lesbian, and had spent the whole evening being pissed off about it and getting drunker and convincing themselves further - I would have thought all the talk of strap ons may have given it away but obviously not. I guess lesbians dont exist in that pretty pink barbie world they inhabit.

So then this massive row starts between Helen and her flat mate and there is a shouting match going on in the door way, the lesbian couple they decide they should leave as they are causing the trouble so try to leave and (the girl lesbian was very small and petite) got caught up in the melee, and she said "oh dear, mole in a hole, let me out" as she was squasing through the group of helen and her mates who werent moving out of the way for her.
Then one off Helens friends (real bitch she is) turned around to Helen and said - she just called your flat a hole - which she totally didnt!
So she started shouting at the girl lesbian so then the boy lesbian dove in to defend her girlfriend and thats when the fight started.
There were about 5 involved the 2 lesbians and helen and 2 of her mates.

Then they tore all their clothes of each other and a big tester tube of love gel got squashed and went all over them and there were all these girls writhing on the floor all greased up in their underwear - not really i just put that bit in for Ic as he had to wait so long

I dove in and broke it up and they lesbians left, then I decided I wanted to go because I was so angry with the way they were going on that I thought I may get into a fight too, then Helen started on at me saying that I was taking their side and spent the whole night with them ignoring her blah blah blah and was taking one of the home, blah blah.
I told her to shut her mouth and had to leave before I said something worse - remember at the time this would have been my possible sister in law, whom my mother in law loved so didnt want to make too many waves within my family.

So basically the only Anne Summers party I went to resulted in a mass fight becausesome silly girls thought a lesbian woman was a man.
It was funny watching the rep squirm under their questioning about strap ons though!!

Also the week after her flat mate moved out.

About a year after that she split up with my brother in law having 2 timed him with my OH's best friend - nice move.
And they got married a couple of years ago and my OH and I werent invited, in fact none of his friends were invited, apparently she didnt want any of his riff raff mates there to spoil her day!!
But at a BBQ later that summer they got married, I was talking to someone who did go and they told me that when asked why my OH hadnt been invited she said it was because she hasnt forgiven me for taking the lesbians side at her AS party and didnt want me there. BTW that was about 3 years after the party had happened.

It still brings a smile to my face though.

Am feeling OK today, bit pi**ed off about the whole thing really but not a lot we can do. Am waiting for 2 phone calls today from the quick buy companies but am going out with niecey for most of the day so will probably miss them. Oh well.

I can't use the multi-quote or proper smilies only the one's that I type in like this Don't know why.


Hi Tina - Most ex-husbands are tossers. My DS thought my ex-husbands name was tosser until he got to about 11 as that is all we referred to him as. He is not son of tosser but girls are. I used to get £4.95 pw for 2 girls from the child support unit, that went a long way, not...

How about approaching the family in law for help?


Hi Spaceys - Glad to hear you are doing well over there. The news lately has been that it will probably pick up once people stop the panic and the press stops reporting a recession. I believe it too.

We have just changed EA, our original closed down, the new one came to do a new valuation last week and said that we were priced about right, no mention of 40% drops etc, we decided to reduce another £10,000 and she said it was up to us, but would suggest leaving it a week or 2. I think your EA might just be trying to scare you into selling at a reduced price, believing the hype that the press seem to be quite happy to print at the moment:

We look on Right move weekly, we can see other properties that are for sale in our area, any that have sold and the prices and can see that we are priced correctly for the style and size of home based on what others are selling at.

We are in the same situation and know that we need to sell before we can buy and settle here. We will sell eventually, we just need to shoot all the financial journalists so they can't print anything else:.

If we were to reduce our house by 40% I might as well hand it back to the mortgage co now.
