    I know, the whole country falls apart when we're not in work!!! Loving it that you referred to me as the Princess, I might make OH call me that when he gets back. "Amy?" "No I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. My name is The Princess" :rotfl:

    Just to add my comment... I wish my EA could have done a better job at negotiating on my house. I managed to get them to up the initial offer price by £750... big woo, still more than 4K under asking. Plus they charge more. I would have bitten hands off at £500 under, and been incredibly grateful to the EA who negotiated it without keep coming back to me with new offers every 10 mins.

    Consider yourself promoted, Queen Amy!

    Sorry, off topic there!
    My home is usually the House Buying, Renting and Selling Forum where I can be found trying to (sometimes unsucessfully) prove that not all Estate Agents are crooks. With 20 years experience of Sales/Lettings and having bought and sold many of my own properties I've usually got something to say ;)
    Ignore......check!
