8am???? Wow, they are keen. Am thinking of you, the waiting is the worst part.

All the best Tracy in your exciting journey, Fly Away is right, things do have a way of working themselves out. Have a safe journey.

Hi Flutterby, glad you have another buyer...will be keeping everything crossed for you that it all goes through smoothly. I have more grey hairs than last year...that's for sure.

Nickywes, am keeping everything crossed for you.

Hello Tiggs and Graz!

Hi Gonnago, you doing ok? Won't be long until you get your visas.

Hope Beth is doing ok.

Well, called solicitors this morning...still waiting for the paperwork to come back, if nothing in the post today, they are calling to chase them up (and of course, it needed me to call them and tell them that we are out of the country in 15 days to get them to do this).

Hi J, all the best, keeping everything crossed.

Internet exposure. Are they on Rightmove and Fish4Homes etc?? If not, you are at a disadvantage.

Then there is commission. Can you knock any of them down? We are only being charged 1% on our properties as they all agreed to match the lowest quote....

Then there is service. Try ringing up a few and seeing if they answer the phone - can tell you about a property etc. If they can't, then they can't tell a genuine enquirer either.

Then there is opening and viewing times, will they do evenings and weekends???

All things to think about...

My darling son, passed his driving test in January after 11 days of his 17th birthday, the following Friday wrote off his car and the one he hit and then two weeks later got 3 points for speeding. Trouble is he is on my insurance and they are disputing that he should be driving, even though he is insured. Oh well 3 more points and he will have the licence taken away and go back to provisional.

Fed up keep fighting things like this.

OH got his licence and wrote off his parents car within a week of passing the test, he then didn't drive for three years, when he was let loose on my Fiat Panda!!

Sending hugs your way, you have enough on your plate.

They have asked what cars we have in the family and what percentage of use for each one for each person. Well between the lot of us we have 2 trucks, my car, his car and the girls have a mini each. Also they take a £500 excess because it was him driving so take that off and they are quibbling about something like £3-500. Bloody idiots.

Bloomin' insurance companies, they really try their hardest to get out of paying out.

Hope you get it sorted soon.
