I quite often clean naked!!! Gives the neighbours helluva fright

We used to live in a house that was very secluded and had no neighbours and so I kinda got used to walking around with no clothes on... Some habits are hard to break hey.

TMI I know.....

greeting them with just a towel on could clinch the deal...or terrify them

Well. I'm flamin furious! :curse:

Sat here like a lemon until 11.15am. Not even daring to have a drink in case I made a mess. Viewing at 11am. Woman viewing sounded a bit ditzy and so I phoned to see if she'd got lost. She said'

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to phone to say I can't come. We had some some planning problems this morning." (WTF?)

Do you want to make another appointment?

"No, we can't buy now!" Told you they are all liars, can buy without selling my arse!:curse::curse:

Next viewer due at 12. Let's see if he turns up. I might ring and remind him!

Thanks Lau! Fingers crossed he is! I might go to the door in just a towel, although he might just run screaming down the road......................

Have you heard anything from your EA?? Give em a ring and nag. They could mention your house to anyone who enquires in that price band. They could also mention the cashback - people don't know unless they're told!

Thanks Hayles!

This guy is a builder, so I reckon he wants the house for flats. (It's a big Edwardian jobby) So I probably didn't need to clean up for him. Don't care so long as they cough up the dosh!

You should get at least one viewing from that! Hopefully, they will make appointments soon.

Oh no, it's raining, (what a surprise here eh?) We have a lovely garden and the sun was out earlier. Now the next viewer will just look out of the window - which has a foreshortening effect. The garden is twice as long as it looks.

YAY!!! Well, I'm pleased! You know I am relying on you to get out there, find a nice area and a nice school so we can just copy you. LOL. OH could do with a job in IT too......................

PMSL!! She only lives 15 mins from me, i could go and surprise her. LOL

Thanks Tiggs. Just hope he turns up. I DID ring his mobile and just left a voicemail saying that I was calling to confirm and if he got lost to ring this number. Since he's a builder, I expect him to be late, just hope not too late as I want my lunch before the school run.!

Seriously, glad that you have made a decision about the jobs. I think it would have cost quite a lot to change your minds at this point. However, if SA doesn't suit you, it is easier to find jobs elsewhere once you're actually in the country.

Thanks Somme!

Well the 12 o clock has been and gone and guess what HE LOVES IT!! Wants to bring the wife back tomorrow!!! He is a builder, but wants it for himself to live in. He wants to part ex for a flat - which is fine by us as it would release some equity and we would be mortgage free until the visa comes through.

OMG, I am so nervous now. Just phoned my OH in a panic! Hope his wife likes it!

this is where you have to get the kitchen and bathrooms at their best. These are the two main things women (in general) decide on what house to buy!

good luck!

dont over do the bleach and no curries.

I have raw hands, (allergic to rubber gloves - don't ask anymore questions.........) and housemaid's knee already! DD and OH will do their best to trash the joint tonight too. Shall I suggest eating out?? Good excuse!
