i have to admit that my solicitor is very on the ball and worth her fee - but i do wonder why i am paying the EA about 4 times as much
EDITED to add - i can recommend this tummy bug for loosing weight - i have eaten half a tin of chicken soup, a very small bowl of cereal and a slice of bread in two days!!

Anyway, phone rang at 1.30 and it's DD's school saying she has twisted her ankle. Now she was supposed to be going to a friends house for tea tonight and I was supposed to be having a rest from ferrying her about. No such luck, I have to rush out and collect her. I find that she is in a terrible state and am convinced that she has broken her ankle as she can't put any weight on it at all and is in extreme pain. Anyway, I go to A&E - the drop off point and have to carry her in screaming and crying. A lovely woman runs to get a porter and wheelchair, but none available. Carry her into reception and book her in. Receptionist says there are no wheelchairs! So me and the nice woman carry her to childrens A&E and then I have to leave her as they told me I'll be fined for parking there. (What am I supposed to do???) So I drive round and round the hospital, worried sick about the 7 year old I had to abandon and can't find a space for ages and then I have to run accross the hospital to get back to A&E. Get Xrayed really quickly. Then wait and wait and wait. DD is in lots of pain. After an hour and a half I ask what the hold up is - they had forgotten about us! Eventually see a Dr after his break and he 'thinks' it isn't broken, just badly sprained but bring her back in if her toes go blue!!! So now she is strapped from toes to knee and still can't walk. They gave her a zimmer frame thing, but it still took half an hour to get back to the car and she cried the whole way. So now she is on the sofa with her foot up - she has to stay this way for 3 days. They will see her again in 2 weeks.

In the meantime I have phoned OH up and asked him to come home early to deal with the email the solicitor is sending. Guess what, he doesn't - even though she finally manages to send it at 3.45pm. So I have a load of crap to deal with tomorrow as I had to respond today. AGHHHHHHHHHHHH Why are other people useless??:curse::curse::curse::curse:

OK rant over! I feel better now and I'm going to find some coffee and a biscuit!

The 6000 and my 3000 post karma may well have worked you know...

Had a phone call from EA this afternoon, one of the couples who have previously viewed the house are interested now that we have reduced the price. They are going to see a financial advisor tomorrow to see if they can afford to buy - Keep your fingers crossed for me....

They have no property to sell so hopefully it should all go smoothly.....

It's strange as I had resigned myself to taking the £45K cut and selling to an investment Co.......

Can't wait to get to Oz. Really tempted to lodge visa application and bugger off on a tourist visa and leave the house to sell! Wouldn't mind a few months chilling on a beach.
