Re: Whinging Pom House seller (The Continuation)
They are looking at five houses today, so they'll have their chioce.
They saw one before seeing our house, and we were in the lead, but three more to go.
Hopefully in a few months we'll be in the driving seat, trying to buy a house in a buyers market in Calgary

Stick your earphones in. That's what I'm doing.
Sorry tina, but that made me laugh about singing into your hairbrush.
Sounds like my EA. Was supposed to ring on Wednesday, phoned me back today.
Oh poo about the cinema. Have fish & chips. Mmmmmmmmm
Oh poo, S. Good luck with your decision.
Sorry Tina but eurgh. That wouldn't be KFC would it. *where's the sick smilie*.
PMSL about the sold sign.
Don't you dare think about jacking it in. You've come much too far for that. I know we have all been there but you've just got back from our validation and had a wicked time.
Put into perspective, man.
(that's me telling you off)
I so agree with you SC.
Good luck SM. We too have a viewing tomorrow and my house is a tip. Mad cleaning session tomorrow.
Jeez, Tina stop using so many smilies.

MIL has gone home at last! left me with a huge pile of washing and a fridge full of rotting food. She wouldn't eat what we eat so I had to go and buy different food for her.:curse: I thought I knew what she didn't like, but she seems to have got some sort of OCD and will only eat certain sorts of certain things. ARGGHHHHHH worse than a child.:curse:
Still haven't exchanged. Now we are waiting for a cheque to get to the mortgage comapny for the survey. WHY WASN'T this DONE MONTHS AGO????:curse: We have found a rental but we are too scared to commit in case it all goes wrong and we end up paying for a rental and the mortgage for months while we sit here waiting. What is wrong with these people???????????????:curse:

Australia suffering 'man drought'
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7589382.stm
An analysis of new census figures has shown that Australia is suffering from an unprecedented "man drought". The statistics have revealed that there are almost 100,000 more females than males in Australia.
Thirty years ago Australia was with flush with men thanks to immigration policies that favoured males. That position has been reversed because thousands of Australian men in their 20s and early 30s have gone overseas either to travel or to work.

Re: Whinging Pom House seller (The Continuation)
Thanks Janine - Fingers and toes crossed for 3.30pm. I hope the other people who are interested come back with an offer too. I've just asked my St Joe if he can see to this for you.
Tina - I've asked for a whole hord of viewers for you!!
Woo hoo thanks luv x
If this goes on much longer, there will be no point moving into a rental, we might as well just go to Oz. It's only the wretched visa which is stopping us, but this week they have granted some of our class, so hopefully we'll get it in a couple of weeks. It's a race, which will we do first - get the visa or get the exchange???

We're going to win it next week - it's up to £92million.
Well the viewings and been and gone. I think they liked it. They are going to rent their own house so don't have to worry about them selling.
We shall see what the feedback is.

When we were waiting for stuff to be sent through our crap buyer we phoned and said we'd pay for a courier to get things there on the same day, it soon flushed them out. 
Maybe they are trying to slow down the process awaiting to here news on stamp duty 
I know how frustrating it is missing out on rentals, we missed out on a few in Queensland that we wanted but it was just as well we didn't commit now.Fingers crossed for you that you hear some progress soon

Thanks Tina. PMSL at the free house. I have the feeling it will happen on the same day too.
I yes we too will be going with a lot less money and I to might have to get a real job out there: my dreams of being a ice cream lady out there are gone
Me too - we are losing money hand over fist at the moment. I suppose it means we'll meet lots of new people. I was thinking about a chocolate shop. We could get a job together Tina and have a right laugh!
Thanks for that I will show my 18 year old son that will help give him the push he needs to come with us
PMSL - hope it works.
Just been on a bus YIKES not done that for years. Done some shopping and walked round the car park looking for my car I knew there was a reason for being a blonde.
Oh Tina, that has made me laugh. Reminds me of the time I lost my car in the Arndale in Manchester.

You'll get your visa soon Nic. I know it. Like you say they've been issuing visas this week. Keep the faith.
I'm trying... just worrying when we were told it is a quick visa. 8 months later and we're still waiting.
I have to get a job as well once we get out there.:
Sounds like we are all in the same boat!

Fingers crossed for you that you hear some progress soon Dawn x
We have put a deposit on the rental - £100 to take it off the market. We lose that if we pull out, but that's nothing compared to 2-3 months rent. We just have to DO something. Sitting here ordering packing boxes now - we ARE moving - by sheer force of will it will happen!!
How are you doing Dawn - are you resigned to your OH going on ahead now?

Fingers crossed for you. I must say if we ever buy another house again after this trauma, I am looking forward to being in a buyers market.
Thanks Ic - hadn't seen it!
OMG, now I'm not going.LOL. I have to say, I have 3 stunning Aussie cousins - and their boyfriends are really ugly.... must be a man's World.
Congrats on the £7 - let's hope it's the start of a winning streak. I didn't buy one last week but I have for this Saturday. If I win millions I promise to buy all your houses!
Great news!! I have everything crossed for you and St Joe is being invoked!! They sound ideal buyers. Lets hope they put in an offer and then the other folks come back too.
Thanks Dawn. I think they might be waiting for the stamp duty too. I said when it was first announced, I would still be waiting for exchange now.
We have put a deposit on the rental - £100 to take it off the market. We lose that if we pull out, but that's nothing compared to 2-3 months rent. We just have to DO something. Sitting here ordering packing boxes now - we ARE moving - by sheer force of will it will happen!!
