    Thanks Squizz - the house is lovely. I don't *know* the bungalow at all, I just love the detached-ness of it, and the location. I just rang to check if it was on the market again, and its not, but that estate agent has a semi just round the corner from it (nice road, very nice area) that has a separate room at the bottom of the garden, heat and light and everything, that I could work in. They only got instructions on Friday, so I've given them till lunchtime to get back to me on it. They were quoting £250-260k, and my absolute max would be £250k, so we'll see.

    Ooh another house in the mix!
    About the emergency phone call yesterday? It so rare to get a phone call like that, I don't feel the need. And if a long term client phones at that time of day on a bank holiday, well, they really *need* to speak to me, its not a light thing. Plus there's a belt and braces thing going on. If my computer freezes, or the electricity goes down (which happens in this area, for 20-30 minutes at a time occasionally - more often than that sort of phone call anyway :rotfl:) I need to be able to call the dealing desk and shut the trade down right away. The time it takes to turn the phone on might be the time where the market goes completely the wrong way for me.

    Ah OK, I understand :)

    Oops. Naughty me :o I decided to go ahead with the one I saw last Friday (and not cos its not nipping, honest - its a 40m bus ride either way for me, or a half hour walk and a 20m train journey :o:o:o). So I've accepted an offer of £267.5k, and made an offer of £220k - both are accepted :j the deal is on. In celebration, I decluttered 3 special newspaper editions and 6 books :D Finished for today, I've decided I'm not going to my thing tonight, I'll spend the time continuing my launch into ebay and chucking out anything I can lay my hands on :D

    Thank you!:j:beer::T:j:beer::T

    I'm really pleased! Walking about the house this evening, I was imagining myself walking around the new place. I'm really ready to go!

    I've been listing on ebay tonight, total of 20 now on - my word, it does take some time, doesn't it - still, I'm keeping going with it, no cost till it sells, so why not!

    Just a quick hop around the diaries, and off to Bedfordshire.

    xxx sleep well all
