Thanks Nic, I am so pleased for you. About time isn't it?

Thanks Nicky, it is a little overdue, yes......................................

That sounds pretty good. Maybe things are picking up

I hope so!!!!!

You are a fruitcake

and.......................

Things will just slot into place, just a big shock at the moment. It is fantastic news :

I hope so - it is complete chaos at the moment and gues what? yup, my OH is asleep in bed!:curse:

Well, you can come & organise me please!

and me.
Excellent news Sally, really pleased for you :

Cheers us all up doesn't it?

Just back from Stanstead dropping off DD and we have a viewer in the morning. The house is still a mess so will have to get up really early to start cleaning Really fed up with it all, just can't get motivated. When I think of how I was when we first had viewers to what it is like now, its scary [/QUOTE]

FINGERS CROSSED for you Nicky!

This has been one of the best days ever for this thread....though what FA will be like now is anyone's guess

Hi all - Well just had viewer round and they are downsizing from a 7 bed, 9 bathroom house. Imagine all those bloody loos to clean They really seemed keen and have sold theirs with exchange happening in 2 weeks. Kept asking me if we would move really quickly.......of course I said yes

They also wanted a project to do and we have the plans done for a 5th bed/en-suite loft conversion and a double storey extension out the back, so they could get their teeth into that one ok.

This was the most positive viewing I have done so am keeping fingers crossed that they offer. OH said don't get too excited as a lot of people rave about things, just the way some people are Hope not.

7 bed, 9 baths.... sorry just picking my jaw up from the floor, why would anyone need that many bathrooms?

Anyhow - the viewing sounded GREAT! PMSL that they are downsizing to your house as it is huge. Very good news that they have sold. I have everything crossed again and have said another prayer to my St Joe for you. I really hope they are the ones!!!!

Hi everyone havent been on here much lately.
We have been to Oz to validate came back and decided to give it one last try, so putting house in an auction end of the month just hope it goes and for a price we can live with if not think we will have to put Oz on hold for a couple of years as can not cope with the stress of it all for much longer.
Got 2 viewing nxt wk for auction which is more than we have had in months so maybe it will work if not maybes it not ment to happen!

Sorry to hear you've had a hard time with selling. I really hope the auction does the trick for you. I've been on the market for 14 months and just sold now... so don't give up hope. That said, I know how hard it is to keep positive and how living in limbo is only a half life. Better to get on with your life here in the UK and really enjoy it for 2 years than be miserable and not doing stuff because you might sell and be off to Aus.

I am praying to my St Joe for you too!!!
They only had 2 children in the first place and now have just 1 living at home. Their DD lives in Hoddesdon too so could be convenient for them. He is MD of an alarm company so I asked him if they do servicing for ours and he said "well if we buy it, no need because I would do it myself"........just can't get too excited about it though as have heard it all before.

I was a bit like, well this is going to seem small to you after your house, but they said they have had enough of something so big. They have a cash buyer and the survey brought up a problem with dry rot so have had to reduce it 10% for the buyer to still have it. Hope they don't try and drop ours too much (if they even offer)
