    Thanks again all.
    I got home today, and somebody was here again . WAs it a ghost ?
    The neighbours cats ? Might find out more in a couple of days.
    Can't smell cat .. Yet .

    Grunnie, only looked on Internet at places that may suit.
    Will go again to see my friend whenever I get an offer, and look more thoroughly . Areas looking at: Ashley cross and Westbourne / cardboard box ...

    AC that was the 1,000 post and you have had over 70,000 looksees :T
    ps the cardboard box is for the packing and you will need more than one.

    Overslept this morning for over an hour . Don't think anyone's coming around today .Manic. Run out of bin bags , so used waitrose carry bags for my rubbish . Managed to have a quick shower etc.
    Washed plates etc from last night . Didn't put them away tho'.
    Managed to get bus , and just managed to get my normal train.

    Strange morning .I woke up around 2am for an hour . Felt humid .

    Praying for cold weather this year

    Last phone call of the evening ...their max ..£375,000

    They are first time buyers, they love it. They are renting in twickenham at the moment . BUT £10,000 BELOW THE LATEST ASKING PRICE!
    They have looked at the property 3 times , so they must know the price drop by me is quite a lot .

    Grunnie : I have a lot of debt to Pay off . I want to go part time , and I need some savings (£50,000+ really).
    Initially, I was looking to buy a place in Poole for £220-250,000
    Now , I have to hope for the same kind of place for £200-220,000
    I just don't know . It means I have to bid £200,000 max

    Heeeeeelp!! :)
