we are still waiting to hear back from Graz's job interview in Adelaide so we could still be off to SA otherwise it is likely to be Canberra ...
Come to Adelaide with us!!! My OH is a computer bod, so you'd be able to talk binery stuff.

It'll work out - promise! Get out there, have some fun, get your new life sorted and the house sale will fall into place.

Your house must be spotless Somme - you seem to clean it all the time! When I have a viewing I spend a lot of time just hiding the disgusting stuff. LOL. Wonder why I haven't sold...................

Oh snap lol! I beat them down to 0.85% but tbh you do get what you pay for, I am having to do the viewings myself, but as we were going to try selling privatly this seemed a good compromise.

we dont want the AUD to go up tho do we? ... hang on let me get my head around this ...
we need the GBP to be high and we need the A$ to be low to get max for our exchange rate - have i got that the right way around?
so we need the uk interest rate to go up ... but that is going to put off our buyers
i dont think i am very good with this money thing

We had an EA and now we're selling privately. Just had another EA 'round for a valuation, (this one was invited!). Bad news, he reckons the house would be worth more if we waited until the spring as there are no buyers around. He said to get a buyer we would have to drop the price so people would commit to get a bargain. Not what we wanted to hear - but honest.

OMG, have to get off this thread, have a washing machine man coming in 5 mins. (NO SMUTTY JOKES PLEASE )

Plus I have done no work due to EA and have to sort some paperwork out for visa PDQ or there won't be any point selling the house......

I think I must be addicted like Tiggs.......
