Good luck today Fly - will send karma. (and my spare)

Nic, we are not sure when we going yet, we have differing opinions. But Con has to give a months notice and we have to do a week or two in Ireland to say bye to the family so probably end of June.

Are they there yet?

I am so pleased for you Hayles, oh and envious too
At least you can plan now when, where and how. Staying with the family will be more bearable too.

Thanks Hayles!! I couldn't stop before as I was manically tidying and cleaning, you know the drill... I am so excited for you. June - that's only 4 weeks away. OK sick with jealousy now... we wanted to be there last April!!!! looks like October at the earliest now. I bet Con will enjoy handing his notice in.

I had to laugh, I worked out that your client probably got preggers at the same time you submitted your visa application. She got a baby - you only get a bit of paper. LOL

Me too.

Honestly, I am a mug, am I the only one who cleans herself and runs the business and the rentals and does the childcare and has people looking down their noses at me because I 'dont work'. My gardnen needs a lot of work - we have quarter of an acre and I couldn't manage on my own. OH of course is useless... he claims to have hayfever.

OK then, it went well. Preggy lady and OH. Looking for an old house - tick. I sat in the garden as Johull suggested with a drink and a book. They came out and admired the garden. Thanks to the gardener's efforts. I said we had an overground pool that we would get out next week and they seemed really excited as they wanted a pool and no maintenance. (Which is why we got the one we got) Seemed keen, but you can never tell, might come back with silly offer... They are chain free supposedly. EA said he showed them round a house on for £200K less last week - so they are obviously at top of budget too...

Got the 2nd viewing tomorrow and still waiting to hear if option 3 is a goer.... irons in the fire people irons in the fire....

EA said our house was getting a lot of interest. I felt like saying that was why we didn't want to commit to builder too soon... GRRRRRR:curse:

I must be a mug as well. I do all the cleaning at my house and I also do my dad's. I do all the paperwork for my OH and all the childcare too. So you're not the only one. I don't do the garden though, I leave that to the OH more of a killer than a grower.

Sounds promising with your viewer. Another one to look forward to tomorrow. You can always send the dregs round here after. I don't mind.
