Nickywes - yes they want blood, they want everything. We were told on Friday that our viewer who came for the second viewing has bought something else, apparently we didn't come across as desperate enough to sell, what was he expecting apart from Jason and I on our hands and knees at his feet begging him to buy our house. What a tosser! Good Luck with candle and wishes to your angel

Tracy[/QUOTE]

I'm speechless at that...not desperate enough. What does desperation have to do with liking a house, wanting to live in it and buying it? Sounds like he has some bizarre criteria for buying.

All the best everyone.

All the best for tomorrow. Seems like viewers are starting to come out to play.
PMSL - have you worn a bare patch in the carpet with the pacing? I've had to stop drinking coffee, because it was making me even more wired... Just wish someone would put me out of my misery - just like you do. I'm sure that the phone will ring soon. You could be the first Welshie to sell your house in 2008!

I have just comitted to have DD's friend and her 4 yr old sister for tea on Tuesday next. That will guarantee we have a viewing on Wed AM!!

Still going to do the candle thing though, (read back a bit SW!)

Yep, and my legs are getting toned! I have continued my diary and it is filling up with whines and moans...should make very interesting reading in the future (in a future that involves no house selling!). [/I]

Oooooooh yes...that is the way to do it, you know it is.

Was this the longest post ever???
Good News Fly, it was obviously just the thought of the candles that made the viewers want to come

Have fun cleaning I'm doing all mine tomorrow because THE KIDS ARE BACK TO SCHOOL . Sorry, I really needed to shout that bit

That has to be the world record for multi-quoting

FlyAway - this is great news, get the candle out and wish that they will be the ones that will buy. I will just be wishing for a viewer, any viewer will do Good Luck tomorow

Sparky Wife - Oooo that sounds like good news and very positive, fingers crossed for you Our EA said the viewer wanted the house at a knock down price and as we didn't come across as that desperate he didn't feel he would get it as cheap as he wanted. What did he want, just for us to give it to him :curse: Good Luck with the candles, kids going to bed at 7.30 and 8.00, once they are out of the way we are getting two out and both Jason and I will be wishing

Janine have fun with the cleaning tomorrow

Gonnago, fingers crossed that your angel comes up with an exchange at the end of the week.

Beth love, I think it is safe to say you have lost it, but I do like your angel

Good Luck everyone and I hope all your and our wishes come true

Tracy

Yeah I think I've lost the plot too
My sister emigrated to Melbourne on Feb 4th.......and I was really upset for a while when they went.
She's been quite homesick and has managed to have two road accidents in 3 weeks!!!! Someone went into the back of them.......and then a lorry in front shot a large stone up which smashed the windscreen!!!! On their 3rd hire car and have paid $1000 excess so far
Her hubby had his wallet swiped in Singapore airport on the way to Oz so they've had to sort out cancelling their cards and ordering new ones!!!
Had major trouble finding a rental.......about 20+ people were turning up at each house
They've basically had enough........even the kids are upset now.......so they booked their flights to come home this saturday
At the moment I don't know my head from my a*se........they have no furniture, no house etc. Their container doesn't even arrive in Melbourne until March 4th!!!
So it looks like the 5 of them may be staying with us for a while
So please excuse my moments of madness......they keep me sane-ish
Can you imagine trying to get my house ready for a viewing with 11 of us living here?!!!!!
I'm feeling a little bit eratic to say the least!!!
