Oh poor Con!! How is he?? What happened Can he see OK? This is really awful, but it good you have already had your meds! Sorry Con for thinking that.

Fingers crossed for the surveyor.

So if someone's going to buy that, surely that's good news for us Plus it was only on the market for about 4 weeks.

Good luck to everyone waiting for people to come back to them. Let's hope the phones are red hot today with people wanting to book viewings

Janine
That sounds really promising Janine. I know it sounds terrible, but the people who offered on the other house may prefer your house.... (Happened to friends of ours, the house next door was under offer when they put theirs on the market and the people pulled out to buy theirs as it was in good condition compared to their neighbour.)

I am having bad thoughts today.

LOL, bless him. Hope he's OK.

had to force my OH to see the emergancy DR today as he is getting iller. DD and I are both better and he is still very ill. Probably get told he has a virus, but I thin it has turned into a chest infection...

(OK and the sub plot is that I want him to get well quickly so the Dr will sign our meds off. I'm just as bad as you Hayles.)

I might get you to ring up and pretend to be a buyer then - that would be hilarious.

Well kids off this week so had to read about twenty pages to catch up as don't get on computer. We had 10 minutes notice on wednesday for a viewing I had kids everywhere and guess what he asked for a second viewing with his partner last night. So waiting for feedback, OH thinks they will offer but I am not getting hopes up. They have no where to sell!
Fingers crossed.

Flyaway - I am sure OH will be fully recovered soon, at least they didn't ask for expensive medical reports. Hope you hear from your viewer soon.
Thanks Maisey - do you have a botty box at work too?? (All the things people have shoved up their orifices...) How on earth do you padlock a willy??? Please explain!

Sorry Maisey - forgot to say good luck with the viewers from yesterday. Sounds very promising - you must be on a knife edge now. Hope they put in an offer.

He's alright N. He is always injured at work, perks of the job i guess. He got patched up and gone straight back to work, would have to be a missing limb to get him to take a day off work! Im glad we had meds too

SURVEYOR DID ring and he is coming this arvo wahhoooo. Just got to rope someone into doing school run for me now I spoke to my gorgeous conveyancer and he said if thats all that is outstanding should exchange end next week .....but that is a big IF, im used to the way they are pulling things up last minute.

Well, I think you will be a tad busy this weekend then!! What a shame you didn't know about the meets.

Sounds like you should sell - lots of viewings and interest. Hopefully those people who haven't sold will sell soon and they might come back to you. I bet you don't need to rent it out in the end.

Where are you in the Vale? We have friends in Trethomas and Cowbridge.[/QUOTE]

Yeh, would have been good to exchange experiences.
Yes a little busy this weekend, looking around the house and think my god still so much sh1te to get rid of. My last day at work today too.

Yes thats what's so frustrating, whats wrong with my house

We are in Cowbridge, lovely place to live & sought after area. Properties normally sell really fast, but sign of the times I guess, & story of my life. buy in a sellers market, sell in a buyers market

FANTASTIC!!! You will be so relieved when the surveyor has been. I reckon giving them that ultimatum worked.

Fingers and toes and legs and arms crossed that you exchange next week!!!

I know what you mean, we always seem to have to sell in a buyers market. When you aren't in a chain it reallymatters because you don't get a discount off the one you are buying to make up the difference.

I'm sure that you will sell soon - sounds a lovely house and I know Cowbridge is a limited market, so not much comes up for sale.

Good luck for your last day at work. How exciting!!
