Am quite relaxed but have a whole day at netball tomorrow and have not sorted anything out for it yet, so that is my job now in between BE
Typical man.:curse: Tell him you'll ring his girlfriend and tell her how disgusting he is!

Glad that you are relaxed - I'm sure netball will help too. I might raise the energy for a glass of wine in a minute... you should too.

Just started to pour with rain and thinder here! I might just disappear soon as we have been hit twice in the last 3 years by lightening down the phone line!!! The lights are flickering as it is!

I was thinking about you just disappearing. If you can afford to let the house out, it might be the best idea until the market picks up.

Have to go - storm getting bad now!

Morning all.

How's it going, anyone got any viewers lined up for this weekend? We don't but on the plus side I can be outside in the sun its better than being stuck in cleaning

Lets hope this sun brings out the viewers that want to buy not the nosey lot we have had so far.

Good luck all enjoy the sun.

In South Wales - so quite a long way from you. We didn't go up in smoke last nigh, OH just pulled all the phone connections out. We've already had one modem fried and a phone melted! We're on the top of a hill, so I guess the lightening finds us easily!

It's cool and overcast here. No viewings either. Just waiting for some people to collect the stuff I sold on Ebay last week.

Fingers crossed you get some more viewings soon - just to get you cleaning again.

PMSL, I just had a mad idea, do you think if we put up signs saying this house is not for sale - under any circumstances, no matter how much money you offer. That we would get offers??? A 'For Sale' sign doesn't seem to work.

Welcome back to the WPHS Beth. You have stolen my crown for house that has been on the market the longest... Good luck hun, you deserve it.

I hope your new EA batters the hell out of carpet shufflers, timewasters and people who put in ridiculous low offers!

Just had a PM from Sparkywife in Adelaide - they've been there 3 weeks and have a car and her OH has a job offer. Even better, her house sale finally went through!

Yes, I was really pleased - they came round for dinner 2 days before they flew out and their sale was going very slowly and they were worried. I think the buyer's solicitor was the problem. Apparently, the buyers changed solicitors and it was all sorted out.

PMSL at your EA. I phoned mine on a Sunday once - as they advertise 7 day availability and just got the ansaphone. HMMM.

Did your EA have any news? Nicky has just sacked her 2nd agent! I hope yours turns out better!

Morning all,

Well viewing went well, so agent says, son has already decided what bedroom he is having and likes the pool. Guess what Fly he is a property developer but divorced and looking for a place of his own, he is in rented at the moment. Agent reckons he will be back for a 2nd viewing as he loves the house. I won't hold my breath.

Agent appointed Tuesday, board went up on Wednesday, went in paper on thursday and viewing on Friday, maybe the bribe is working.

Sun is beginning to shine and no cleaning today.

Hi Lisa,

That sounds very promising. Hopefully he will make a decent offer. Tell the EA that you aren't desperate to sell yet - got 5 years on your visa etc.... otherwise they will encourage silly offers. i'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Have a good day.

Good idea - I wish we'd said that. We made the mistake of telling the EA - should have known better really. I reckon that's why they thought they had us over a barrel with the developer.

My solicitor phone yesterday and said how glad she was that the sale had fallen through as she was sure there was something dodgy going on and had been doing some digging. So I guess our gut instinct was right. Doesn't help when we haven't got a house sale though.

We thought it would be best not to tell them. Always trust a women's instinct, we not usually to far away from sussing people out. I really wish you some good luck with your house, it can't carry on for much longer, considering they are always banging on about a house shortage.
