Hi Beth

make sure you have that written on an email they can sometimes get a little funny at check in.

Also how are you getting to Cairns with singapore someone who recently moved to Cairns said because of the domestic flight you may not get the 40kg because of the domestic flight.

We had looked at going Cathay Pacific straight from Hong Kong not sure if you still get allowance though.

Would be interseted to know how you get on, you lucky thing 10 weeks

Sorry for gatecrashing thread have been reading with interest just a few things to tidy up and hopefully house goes on the market this week.

I am expecting a very quick sale, with a bidding war and 30k been offerd over the asking price. ....well i can dream

sends them round to view, they spend 3/4 hour of my precious packing time telling me what they would do my MY house if they were to buy it

Then tell me they would like to see it when it is finished!

Everything is done apart from some packing and a hallway/stairs carpet.... what the Heck is that about?


And why tell me what their plans are?

Grrrrrrrrrr:curse:

They knew it wasn't finished, which is why it is not officially on the market yet... what kind of muppets are they? or the agent for wasting my time?

chill out! Be glad youre not selling here in oz! They charge at least 2.2% and take mostly 90 days to sell! Were not all bad!
Hope it all goes well for you. And remember, you need an agent to sell it, unless you have time in between your packing to do that too!!

LOL. Buyers, they want your house for free and then moan about having to move in. Do you think we should shift their furniture for them too?

We're going if the house has sold or not!!!! Really hoping it will have before we go........but see what happens.
Don't really give a sh*t anymore........my sister has already gone......so big whoop if I can't pay my mortgage payments when I'm not even here
Have instructed a new EA today......basically told them to heavily advertise my house or else (more desk jumping!!!)
Waiting for hubby to get his ar*e home now so we can have PANCAKES!!!!!
