THINGS DOGS DON'T UNDERSTAND.
1. It's not a laugh to practice woofing at 3am.
2. It's wrong to back Grandma into a corner and guard her.
3. He shouldn't jump on your bed when he's soaking wet.
4. The command "SHUT THE BLOODY F*** UP!" means just that.
5. The cat has every right to be in the sitting room.
6. Crapping on the carpet is not something deserving of a biscuit.
7. Barking at guests ten minutes after they've arrived is stupid.
8. No, we said SIT!
9. I know it's a nice leg, but don't ride it.
10. Getting up DOESN'T mean Walkies.
11. Just because I'm eating, doesn't mean you can.
12. If you look at me with those big soppy eyes, I'm NOT going to give in
and feed you. NOT. NOT. Oh, ok. just this once.
13. No it's my chocolate ... Oh alright then, just a small piece.

hope you're Not eating ...........

1) NUDITY
I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when
a woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark
naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout
from the back seat, "Mom! That lady isn't wearing a seat belt!"

2) OPINIONS
On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a note
from his mother. The note read, "The opinions expressed by this child are
not necessarily those of his parents."

3) KETCHUP
A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup out of the jar. During her
struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer
the phone. "Mommy can't come to the phone to talk to you right now. She's
hitting the bottle."

4) MORE NUDITY
A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women's
locker room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies
grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in
amazement and then asked, "What's the matter, haven't you ever seen a
little boy before?"

5) POLICE # 1
While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was
interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old. Looking up and down at
my uniform, she asked, "Are you a cop?" "Yes," I answered and continued
writing the report. "My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask
the police. Is that right?" "Yes, that's right, " I told her. "Well,
then," she said as she extended her foot toward me, "would you please tie my
shoe?"

6) POLICE # 2
It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the
station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was
barking, and I saw a little boy staring in at me "Is that a dog you got
back
there?"
he asked. "It sure is," I replied.
Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the van.
Finally he said, "What'd he do?"

7) ELDERLY
While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly
shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds.
She was unfailingly intrigued by the various appliances of old age,
particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs. One day I found her
staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself
for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered,
"The tooth fairy will never believe this!"

8) DRESS-UP
A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw
her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, "Daddy, you shouldn't wear that
suit."
"And why not, darling?" "You know that it always gives you a headache
the next morning. "

9) DEATH
While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister
heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt.
Apparently,
his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin.
Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a
small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the
disposal of the deceased. The minister's son was chosen to say the
appropriate prayers
and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his
father always said: "Glory be unto the Faaather, and unto the Sonnn, and
into the hole he goooes."

10) SCHOOL
A little girl had just finished her first week of school. "I'm just
wasting my time," she said to her mother. "I can't read, I can't write and
they
won't let me talk!"

11) BIBLE
A little boy opened the big family bible. He was fascinated as he
fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible.
He
picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had
been pressed in between the pages. "Mama, look what I found," the boy
called out. "What have you got there, dear?"

With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, "I think it's
Adam's underwear."

ok i have decided that i am the only person in the whole world (other than my mum!) with morals
EVERYONE else i have spoken too has said we should take the higher cash buyer offer and tell the couple who's offer we accepted that we are pulling out.

This is called gazumping and it is a really mean thing to do
All of us sellers on here have been complaining for months about the lack of morals and regard for other peoples feelings from our buyers (yes we have had a buyers who have pulled out too) and yet everyone says i should do it

Once and for all - am i being stupid thinking like this - or should i take the offer (which i conceed is better all round for us) and make someone feel really upset?

i wish i didnt have a conscience

EDITED to add that the higher offer is still about 5% less than our valuation price.

Driver_Once_More

found this on the subject

Tiggs+Graz

well up to now the couple who we have accepted the offer from have not paid out any money - they have not yet engaged a solicitor and no survey has been paid for. So financially they are not going to loose.

so we are back to the 'only' result in this case is upsetting someone
(and i dont like upsetting people)

want2bthere

for what its worth i would except the higher offer, like you said the other couple havent lost out on anything and only just put offer in, they may even come back with a higher offer and ask if thats enough for you to take it of market.

good luck x

Hi Tiggs - I wouldn't normally recommend it either, but in this case, you have the doubt that you have been stitched up. Perhaps you could call the couple and explain that the EA didn't pass the other offer on to you. They may match the Lady's offer??? If it is a stitch up you may get some more info. Just an idea.

somme

I wouldn't normally say take the higher offer, but I don't think EA have been entially honest so in this case take the higher offer, could pay for tepory accomadation in Oz

It certainly is a hard one Tiggs, go with your gut feeling and what you feel is right, not much help I know.
