    What's available for 100k? Is there anything that suits you?

    Can you get a three bed or is 100k a good price for a house finished exactly the way you'd want it?

    Yep - though she kept looking towards an A4 print out which was from the website! At first I didn't even think she was the EA as she was dressed very casual indeed. Yep I wouldn't expect her to know it all (I have a contact in the street for living conditions etc ;):) though she didn't even know how long it had been on the market, why it was being sold (what happened to previous occupiers), why it had no kitchen unlike the pictures. :o She was still nice and friendly though...

    they sometimes employ viewing reps simply to open doors. Thing is that you don't know that, so you think they're an idiot and any vendor with a brain cell would rather do a viewing themselves than pay for a 'door opener' in with their fee.

    There's an EA near me that employs a loony old bloke. 'How can they expect you to walk over that?' It wasmud and it was a building site so he didn't need to get angry about it. I've seen a lot of it. I think I might have been pregnant at the time though, bless him.

    I relinquished and bought my car. It wasn't an Audi though :o I missed the fab deal on the A4 cab from thinking too much and could only get prices equivalent to the A5 in the end which is so beautiful but really too big for l'il old me. And more than I really wanted to spend.
