When my OH first put the house on the market he negotiated a deal, which meant they'd get less commission - think he was trying to be clever but it's backfired:curse:

Well, that's how they make me feel anyway. Don't know how Beth is coping either. i would go round to the wife's house and shout abuse.

Sending you a big hug and some Ks - it will happen, we just don't know when

Thanks Think we should all go round to the wife's house and shout abuse

You can normally give 14 days written notice to end your contract with your EA...........and get a new one up to take new photos ready to advertise the day your free of the old one!!!!!
I hate EA's............don't trust any of the ones I've ever met :curse:
Beth x x
I've just read the contract and i can give 2 weeks notice from the 15th April, this time i'll be sorting out the contract!

Mary, I'm so sorry to hear about your £$%&*$ EA. It doesn't sound daft one bit. It is such a frustrating thing to do, selling houses. Am sending you and Beth some whopping hugs.

Actually, I went shopping there not too long ago and was really confused when certain shops weren't where they were before. I knew they were doing major work, but somehow it didn't register. So I quickly regained my composure and acted like I fancied turning around and walking in the direction I had come from.

Thanks, think Beth deserves it more than me though.

I hope that your buyers get a move on, once they get their cheap mortgage - hopefully their solicitor has started all the searches etc. When do you have to validate? Hopefully, you'll be out ther by then.

I feel sorry for your OH - I bet he's had a right telling off.

Well, I'm up for it - but I think you might have a long way to come.

I've just read the contract and i can give 2 weeks notice from the 15th April, this time i'll be sorting out the contract!

Very wise! Men - who'd have them??? (Sorry Ic. )

Thanks, think Beth deserves it more than me though.
Ah I'm sure Beth is making herself feel better by plotting revenge on the EAs.

We are only going on a 457 temp visa, when we get there we r going to apply for PR, so lucky enough we don't have to worry about validating
When I spoke to the buyer the other day she said that she has told her solicitor to carry on doing all the work they can until they see if they can get a cheaper mortgage and anyway they want to complete by the 16th may as she is due to have her baby in june

Sorry - was just off trying to get my DD to bed...school holidays..ahhhhh.

I remember you saying she was preggers - which is great news as they have a deadline too.

Fingers crossed this is the only hiccup for you. Once you've exchanged you can fly out anyway - safe in the knowledge that they have to complete.

Think i'll have to get a photo uploaded

Feel much better after a good nights sleep (nothing to do with the wine!), it's amazing the highs and lows this bloody process takes you through.

I've got to stop blaming my OH, It's incredibly difficult though I'm glad we've already uploaded our marriage love statements Would hate to think what we would both be writing now

That sounds good, being pregnant, she will want to get settled in ready for the imminent arrival. Love you pic!

LOL, know what you mean Mary, MIL said last weekend that her and FIL would hate to see this whole thing split us up, as we've always been a very luuuuuuvvvvy couple, To be fair, when we go over to in-laws, we do tend to bicker more.

Hi Fly Away, glad you enjoyed your Chinese! We've just about to go into C...I'm looking for jeans, something I always struggle with cause my tum is small in comparison to my legs. So I have to search hi and low for ones that don't flap at my tummy/or are really, really tight on my thighs. :curse: If you are off down to SF, then have a lovely time, am very envious...it's lovely down there.

Have you had snow this morning? Beth, what about you? We have had a brief flurry, but it wasn't sticking. Have been trying to send karma guys, but I have to spread it around more.

How is everyone doing?
