It is sooo frustrating especially when you spend hours cleaning, at least they let you know our last lot just never turned up. At least your house is really tidy now.

Don't do that just sit back and admire your hard work - if you have kids they'll do it for you - no problems.
We have our first viewingwith the price reduction - boy are they getting a bargain. fingers crossed for selling our houses.

Hiya Dave, I've not chatted to you on BE before, so nice to meet you.

I'm bloomin angry on your behalf though.:curse: Just because it is a buyers market doesn't mean they can treat us like dirt. I've had a few do this to me. Some don't even cancel.:curse:

Had a look at classifieds and saw all your houses on there - it is gorgeous I don't know what people want now. Lets hope something sells soon.

There is nothing wrong with anyone's houses - they are all lovely. Buyers want the earth! I bet, we could put stamp duty paid, removal costs paid, cars thrown in free and babysitting for a year and they'd STILL want more.:curse:

Lets hope it sells before it even gets into the paper. Fingers crossed.


Well it sounds like they have got started , heres hoping they have a great solicitor who gets on with it.

Don't do that - you might get another viewing and then you won't have to clean up again.

That was quick!! Well done Maisey. Fingers crossed for you When's the viewing?

I have just booked some rental valuations and found a gardener / handyman to look after our house if we leave it. It feels good just to be doing something.

Oh our new details came - lots of errors - now corrected and emailed to agent.

It's so disappointing when people treat you like that....the only comfort is that one day they'll be trying to sell a house & then they'll get it back in spades

Good for you Fly, for keeping yourself busy looking at alternatives... it drives you mad just sitting around feeling helpless, doesn't it?

Just emailed OH a whole list of jobs he could potentially be interested in.... early days yet, but gotta dream

Good luck to all you sellers hoping for positive news - I've just looked at all your houses on the Classifieds, they're fantastic places & I'm sure they'll sell

Yes, can't just sit here moaning, have to be proactive. I bet you wouldn't be surprised to know, that once I have decided to do something, I don't let anything stand in my way.

We haven't really looked at jobs yet. Mainly because we know, there aren't many suitable jobs in Adelaide and OH is going to have to take anything that comes along to get his one year's work requirement. (We were going to buy a business but if we can't sell the house, then we can't....)

Let's hope these rude viewes get it all back when they sell. Hmmm

Really fed up now.

got a phone call from agent at 4 o'clock (just got in from school run) to tell me we have a viewer at 5. mad rush of housework. 5 o'clock comes and goes. Viewer turns up at 5.40 (aarrgghh do they not have kids to feed cos I do!!) not even a sorry we are late:curse: Poke about in the loft then go. Wasn't interested in the rest of the house just the loft (the only place I hadn't cleaned).

And to top it all I have to smile

Rant over feel better now!

How rude! These people don't give a damn do they? I hope they loved the house and just wanted to check that they could do a loft conversion.

Its all these stories of doom and gloom they have really got to me.

Its been a week since the offer and what with the Easter break things are now starting to move they have instructed solicitors so hopefully we can move on quickly because my nerves cant stand it.

Good luck everyone hoping that you get some viewers for the weekend.

Yeah, I'm living on my nerves...would it be bad to call the solicitor tomorrow to pester even though we only spoke to them Wednesday? Sending vibes for you.

It never gets any easier does it? You think you're through the worst and then something else stresses you out.

It is TOTALLY wierd!

Thanks, I hope it goes ok too, expect I will blub a little though! There were cuddly snakes "trying" to be in concealed places at work today...after the second one I saw, I had to say something. I am dreading going in tomorrow...have a feeling that I may be wearing an inflatable kangeroo costume all day...

Where do you work - I'm coming along with a camera!!!

I hope you have a great time - sounds like a good excuse for a party! I'm sure there will be emotional moments, but it will be a great day. Then on Saturday you will wake up a free woman. Sending you a big ((((hug))))) for bravery!

PMSL. If you do make sure you post the piccies.

Why couldn't I have had a viewer today. The grass has been cut, the sun is out, the house looks great in the sun, everything looks really nice. Oh well. Someone will probably come when it's pissing it down.
