Morning Gonnago and FA

16 babies......NO WAY......but....I agree, there lies a business opportunity, but who's gonna change all the nappies

HI FA, hope Beth and her family are all ok.

Do you also sometimes have the feeling that if you stare hard and long enough at your phone it will ring and give you good news......doesn't work though....WHY...HAHA

Morning M,

I just saw Beth was posting on the Tassie thread a few minutes ago - hopefully she'll pop over here in a minute.

I know what you mean about the phone. I'm always looking at mine to see if I have not heard it ring and there is a message.

I will email the EA and ask if she managed to get hold of them and go out and try and forget about it....

Hope your phone rings today!

I'm getting so bad with the phone. If I pop out, I'll check the phone for messages, if no messages then I'll go through the caller display as well.

Well, as I said, I think I'm going mad. (Actually, I think I'm there).

Good luck everyone.

Morning O2O,

I'm still here - waiting for my DD to get out of bed!!

In the old days, before mobiles and ansaphones and caller display, I'm sure that we were much saner!

Hi FA, DTP,O2O, tum, hayles, FA and anybody else.

Whats all this with making more babies and mile high clubs? How is everyone this morning?

Hunky not bulky viewer today 11.30am.

Have been cleaning again since about 7 this morning and now don't know what to do or where to sit. Nobody is allowed home until they have been. Every bed is made to perfection, all loo rolls folded (saddo) and all carpets hoovered in stripes. Oh my god how paranoid. Does anyone really live like that?

Will let you know how it goes later.

Nicky xx

We've had an auction valuation done on our house and it is still considerably lower than the minimum we would accept at the moment. However, in a couple of months we might give it a try. As you say, if you set a reserve, you know the minimum it will sell for. (Although it may not sell) Plus, we were quoted £300 fee plus 2% of the sale price and then £200 for subsequant auctions, which isn't too bad, but EAs here are charging 1% which means we could sell for the reserve price via an EA and still take away more cash...
I'd give the auction I go if I were you. I have attended all my local auctions until recently ... I have given up because the prices properties fetch are too high! When I say too high I have seen properties where I have looked up on the Land Registry that similar ones have sold for say 220k - in good nick - and then watched in amazement as a similar property needing renovation changes hands at auction for 235k.

There seems to be a line of people that attend auctions convinced they will get a bargain and, because someone is bidding against them, (often the auctioneer taking bids 'off the wall') they become convinced they are not paying over the odds - because someone else is willing to pay the same price - so they keep bidding.

Seems like a one way bet for sellers to me.

Well, that sounds like good news. We will definately think again in a couple of months if the house hasn't sold and we have our visa. (Still waiting at the moment) It is worth a try, if nothing else.

Thanks again.

LOL, hoovered in stripes!!! How do you do that?? Our carpet doesn't show where the hoover has been....

I hope it does the trick for you though. Remember keep him talking in the nicest room in the house.

I bet you are a bag of nerves... it'll be over soon.

Morning Beth,

I was sorry to hear your news. Hope it hasn't been too horrible for everyone.

Fingers crossed for some viewings when the kids go back to school next week.

Kids have been dispatched at school, although ds didn't want to go. He's counting the sleeps until he doesn't have to go for a couple of weeks.

I, on the other hand, am dreading the two weeks coming up.

Oh, I agree. I haven't given the EA my mobile no as I don't hear it when it rings, anyway.
