wow so much has happened since I was last on congratulations to those with offers etc

FA good luck with all you are going through I feel exactly the same as you I feel like doing a Beth.

sorry to those that are going through the same crap as us with regards buyers and their dealings.

Our buyers were in negotions for a mortgage with an Irish Ban who have now decided that they will not lend to anyone on the mainland leaving them and us in the shit.

They are now appling for a mortgage with a manland bank so we are starting all over again, fotunately they still want the house as to the other couple who did offer on the house but could not sell their flat in time.

So hopefully we will be OK we have to go on validation trip in a couple of weeks so we will look forward to that and try and forget all this business.

Lorna if you see this sorry for all the crap your viewer put you through are you still going on holiday?

Papers will be signed (if everything is ok) next week Friday, then there is a 3 days period in which the buyer can withdraw. After that mostly there is another period of 2 to 4 weeks in which the buyer can withdraw if they can't get the mortgage arranged and that's it!!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So pleased for you M!! You have been so patient, it must be your turn!

Just looked out of my window and discovered a For Sale sign in my lawn!!!

I havent even signed a contract yet!

They came and measured up and took photos etc on Tuesday and said they will send stuff to me to sign it off etc. so thats fast work, lets hope they find me a buyer just as quick.

Also though, on seeing the sign I got a bit of a lump in my throat and feel a bit scared as I love my house, then my neighbour came round saying how she will miss my son and doesnt want to see us go and how she was hoping our Oz plans were just talk.
Made me feel even sadder.

Hi kaye
sorry i never got back to you but ive been totally fed up with the whole thing kept meaning to pm u but was waiting for some good news then they dropped us in it. sorry to hear you are having grief as well. As if moving 10 thousand miles away isnt stressful enough!

Yes we are still going out to validate end of may trying to look forward to that but the kids where so upset when i told them we had to come back here. All we can do is give them a nice holiday and try not to think to much about the money we cant afford to spend.
