But...she also went to view a house down the road (smaller, no garage, no sun in the garden as it is facing East and the house blocks out the sun), the garden is a little patch compared to ours) but it's cheaper than ours. So she said to our EA she's going to compare houses.......so in the end...money is what it is....our house ticks all her boxes, the other doesn't , but there is a price difference of about 20.000 pounds (which is a lot over here). So....breathe in..breathe out..we should know before the weekend.

As long as you house isn't a dark cave from the Medieval times you should be fine. Why would you build an extension worth 130K when you want to sell!!!!
As for the 20K, if we get an offer we will see, in this market you'll never know when the next buyer will come.

I'm walking around the house with my mobile phone in my hand and still checking if it didn't ring, it's official, I'm going crazy. Yesterday my son said that a girl in his class was 5 days younger than he was, so I told him, oh she's born on August 8th then ....my mum then pointed out to me that I got the number right, but that it should be October as my son is born October 3rd http://freesmileyface.net/smiley/Confused/stupid.gif

Hey Nicky, how DO you type dyslexiallaackaly??

Oh, if you want to have a good laugh. Yesterday evening, I was almost asleep, I turned around and heard bzzz bzzzz bzzz, in my dazed mind (mind you I was almost asleep) I thought bzzz bzzzz? ...so I jumped up, jumping up and down as a mad man whilst my OH said...WHAT THE MATTER, WHAT ARE YOU DOING...I shouted, there's something in my hair, WHAT, there's something in my hair while frantically trying to get it out. Eventually it did and he said...now you've thrown it at me, turn on the light, turn on the light, it was a huge wasp just awakening from its hibernation I guess .

Hope that your new agent can find a buyer Nicky. The partner sounds a prat. All our EAs said do nothing but make it clean and tidy and finish any half done things. The rest is just personal taste. The extension is mad - why take the time and money to build something which might not increase the value????

I've just been to our rental flat to get a man to mend a leaky gutter. If it doesn't rain it pours! Just hope we get a tenant in soon and I can forget about it for a while.

No other news.

PMSL.

I can never remember people's birthday's. I have to write them all down on the calendar at the beginning of the year or else I would completely forget.



I'm always calling my kids the wrong name. They'll probably grow up with a right complex as I've got 1 boy and 1 girl.



PMSL. I can just imagine you running around the bedroom, screaming.



Morning Ic.

Rubbish here too. Raining this morning, although it looks like it's stopped for now.

DD has a walk around the local nature reserve at school today so it'll probably pee it down for that.

Have you booked your validation trip?

Still worried that the market will pick up and we will lose thousands, but what can you do? Our visa is only valid for a short period and we have to sell in the next 12 months tops.

You can't think what might be. Just think you'll be out in Oz sunning it up with a beer around the barbie and it will be all but a distant memory.

Glad to see you back again. Try not to think about this whole idea of "losing" money - you don't actually have it you know, it's just a vague calculation by the Banks & Estate Agents & let's face it, they don't even know their own backsides from a hole in the ground at the moment

Concentrate on what you do have & the positives that you can control, no point worrying about what may or may not happen with the price of your house, it actually doesn't count for anything until someone definitely hands over the cash anyway

Thanks G and for your PM too. It was nice to turn on the lappy and get a whole pile of PMs from people checking if I was OK.

There's not much we can control, we are pretty much flying by the seat of our pants right now. We have done it before but not with a child in tow. I think that's what the difference is. If we screw up, it is her life too.

Hope things are better with you
