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.......

sounds promising!! fingers crossed

... plus i can reccommend this stomach bug if you want to loose some weight rapidly - got up this morning and put on my jeans and thought they are a bit loose - got on the scales and i have lost 3lbs in 2 days

Morning Tiggs!

Good news that it sounds like you are on the mend today and feeling excited about the move!

I wish I could lose 3 lbs - but I don't want a tummy bug!!

I'm hoping that today is better than the last two days. It really can't get much worse! I don't want to tempt fate here.

Good luck to everyone in house selling land today!

Fantastic! Sounds like it is all coming together nicely. Now you know the details, it must be a lot more real! Also a lot less worrying!

Now you can start jumping up and down with excitement!

Hi all,

Update on yesterday the Australian couple have come back to the EA and are saying that they can raise a mortgage for £5k less than revised price - which is still £15k more than we could get selling through an investor!!!

They are coming to view again tomorrow at 4.30pm and if they offer us this we will accept. They loved the house before so keep your fingers crossed for me......

I seriously need all the karma I can get now...

Sounds very promising. If they weren't serious they wouldn't bother sorting their mortgage / finances out. £5k is nothing if it saves you mortgage interest and hassle! How ironic that they are an Aussie family. Did you say that they are from Melbourne too?

Tried to send K but I have to spread around as I gave you some last night!! So here's some virtual K'

Well quick update

Booked removals for 28 and 29 November, cancelled all D.D. and standing order, taken my car for service and taxed it for my daughter who is having my car plus 2 new tyres and tracking, phew no wonder I am exhusted.

Reedy K sent I hope they buy

That just leaves you flyaway.

Tiggs just relised I fly 2 days after you, no wonder it has gone quite on here

Hi ya Somme!

All sounds fantastic! W2BT is flying 2nd Dec too! Reedy wants to go New year's eve. I'll be here with Gonnago and Amanda and you lot will be having fun in Oz. It's a good job I like you all, otherwise a woman could get bitter!

Don't think we'll sell this side of Christmas unless someone who has already viewed puts in an offer. All gone quiet now. When DD is a bit better, I'll get the EA we think is the least worst, round again for a revaluation. It may be, we just haven't dropped the price enough, or it may just be a crappy market. After Crimbo at the latest will market it with this agent too. Just need to sell it!

I am sure you will sell after Chistmas, I will keep an eye on the tread when I can but pm me if you sell.

Just changed my return flights with singapore airline for 24 August 2008, so I can bring my grandson back after spending his summer hols with me in Oz

Yes, I'll PM you! I expect half the World will know as I will tell everyone!

Sounds lovely flying with your grandson. (I think - as a mother of a 7 year old, I do have certain reservations. )Is he flying out alone or are his parents coming home earlier? It's good that he has that to look forward to, it'll come around quickly!
