    Hey Jen xx Oooo what are you going to look for? I got like that at one of my old jobs. I was there 5 years and it just started to get to the point where i was miserable.

    Well saying that my parents house is only a 2 bed and its worth £200k!! Just because the road is popular! Suppose its how desperate people are to sell the houses too and the area/roads.

    I know and my parents house isnt exactly modern either! But it has got a massive rear garden. House prices are crazy!:confused:

    Fingers crossed houses prices will drop by another £30k in 2 years for us 1st time buyers. :D
    Great for us but bad for the sellers of course. but its the risk we all have to take when buying.:confused:

    Evening all,

    Another manic day at work for me and PC hasn't sold yet, only 27 hours left to sell which is a bit depressing, hope get some more offers, best i have had is £85 but i sent them an offer asking for £95 and they said nope so bit annoyed.

    Still 3 watchers though.

    Debating whether to go out and buy heat and whats on tv for £10 bingo money for tombola....
