Hiya Miranda!! *waves* How are you tonight? Any news from your new EA. more importantly, is he good looking??
Sorry Dan, got to spread before giving you some K

Hi FA, HAHA, no, not good looking but he has a nice face. He's really tall and has an 'office face' HAHAHA, I like a man to be more masculine HAHAHAHA. But uhm, he called today and informed/asked us if he could put an extra add in the paper as the deadline for their magazine has passed. So....good service...good communication and that's a good beginning. Btw, have you ever seen a good looking EA?

I've run out of acceptable swear words for EAs - so just imagine a tirade of abuse here.:curse: Definately do some shouting. Useless lot.:curse:

I'm good thanks, just have the glimmer of a couple of viewings this week with the new EA, so that is keeping me going....

I guess it all depends on a bit of luck, some people will probably tell you they're the greatest with great service, others won't. Have you been with them for long?

Our first EA, (last summer) was quite good looking - but short, (I like tall men). Our second was really ugly - all gold jewlery and patent shoes, this last one is a woman. The flat EA is a bloke and he is nice in rugby player kind of way. (Chunky)

Sounds like yours is trying to do a good job anyway and not too bad to look at.

Oh no, I do the shopping list. I am the chef in the house and THAT IS THAT.

He leaves notes like, "are you going to hoover today" or "need more bog roll in the downstairs loo". The reason he doesn't go and get it is because he doesn't want to wake the kids (he says)

It wouldn't matter if he did have his phone, as I always forget to take mine out . So he wouldn't be able to get hold of me anyway.

Congrats Fly on the anniversary,

Good Luck to all those with viewings.

Nicky, I would ask your EA about the paper, although you probably have by now, as I am a little slow at the moment.



I'll join that one.



Fly this is great, fingers crossed for you.

Had a quick skim read, hope I haven't missed anything too important. Although I didn't notice Beth, hope everything is OK.
Hiya, Tracy

All ready for the off? Hope all goes well for you.

I heard a saying the other day which I'm going to put on my signature:

Some days you get diamonds, some days you get stones.

I know which one I normally get.

I can confirm that apartment prices are now dropping in Canary wharf, which one would think would be one of the last places to drop in the UK.

Also Malaga south of Spain, a 27 pct drop in 3 months.

Too bloomin true, but a lump of caol can turn into a diamond....

I hope so. My solicitor is a woman too. We just get stuff done. Oh and my fnancial advisor too... I must pick them subconciously

Fingers crossed for you this coming week. Hope the spring tempts some buyers.

I will. I sent a PM to say how sorry I was to hear their news and not had a reply. I expect they are dealing with things, being with the family etc... I will pass your message on the next time I PM.

Morning/evening all, don't dispair as Oz house prices are coming down much more than Uk's as the high interest rates are really biting and all those who had 4 and 5 houses to rent out are now selling

Fly have you seen the grief I am getting on the poll, couldn't beleive I missed so many place's off.

Could you all vote on my poll please, where are you heading to in Australia, cheers everyone

I know, they are all upset that 'other' was their option.... I did notice that the complainers were already in Oz so shouldn't have been voting!

I hope prices start to drop in Adelaide soon. That might trigger the interest rate to improve too (from our perspective - not yours!)

How are you this morning - still happy after your good weekend?

You know Somme, I was just on another forum, (yes there are some ) and they were saying that house prices in Adelaide HAVE started to slow down. (Last year they increased by 33%!!) Hopefully, by the time we sell something, they will have stabilised at least.... Although putting our equity in a high interest account and living off the interest is a nice thought...
