Afternoon all,

Back from school run...

He certainly liked the garden. He's got two boys (9 and 11) so a big garden is a big plus point.

I live in hope.
Fingers crossed - it sounds promising - sending Ks if I don't have to spread 'em.

But yes...selling too. Our house is on the market as of March 2007...the market has been as slow as a um a thick lava stream running uphill . But there is some movement visible at the moment. It's not nationwide that the market is slow, but in our area which is pretty rural things are slow with all kind of houses, doesn't matter if it's a villa, townhouse or semi-detached (which is what we have). Price is right, good value for what you get. This is confirmed by viewers, but they had to back out (twice) because they couldn't get their finances sorted .

So good luck to all of us :
OMG Miranda - I feel for you. I thought 10 months was bad enough. I am slowly going round the twist. Goodness knows how you feel.... Do you have your visa yet?

good luck mate )
I can't believe you've been on the market that long either... seems shorter somehow.. We must all be going insane together and the time is flying.

Good luck Kaye! as Ic said, shame about the curry, but if you get an offer, it's worth it.

Thanks for being positive. I was positive last week and not this week... no real reason, just realised it is a year since we started the whole process and we are no further forward...

Anyone know if Beth has heard from her EA yet????

Bad news about the curry, but you don't want to end up like SS. 4 days and it still stinks of vindaloo.


We had some feedback from the EA about our viewings. The one's on Friday have only just started looking. In fact ours and another one around the corner were the two houses they looked at. Apparently they want to have more of have a look round before committing. Ours is on the shortlist though. They thought it was a lovely house etc, etc. If that's the case don't look anymore just buy mine.

The viewer that came this morning absolutely loved the house. He is relocating from London. He's only just putting his house on the market but thinks it won't take long to sell ().

We shall see.

I do a good rogan. The day after it absolutely stinks. It's like it permeates (sp) the walls.

Damn nice though.

Do you make all the little sides as well? When I'm in curry mode I really like to go to town.

I make my own curry paste and that really stinks the house out as you have to roast the spices, grind them and then fry them in ghee. However, I make giant batches and keep it in the fridge and just using a bit of the paste doesn't make the house stink too badly.... (I hope.) However, I find fish is the worst, stinks for days.... Hopefully the weather will improve soon and we can all live on salad.

Kaye, can you get a take away curry after the viewers have gone? Treat yourselves.

Hi Guys!

I've just come home to find EA here with the couple that viewed this morning.
They wanted a 2nd viewing today. Apparently it's between us and another property.
The other property is £20,000 cheaper and has more parking but the woman likes our open plan kitchen, diner, family area plus we're detached and the other is a semi.
I should find out this evening.
Fingers crossed.
