    had a quiet day today, Mr LT is on a 12 hour shift :( , i've been to visit my folks and done some shopping and then had a friend and her sister around for a cuppa which turned into an unofficial viewing. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and trying to not build up my hopes too much but i am hoping she may be interested.
    on a definitely positive note i managed to get our weeks shopping for £25 exacertly yay! lots were yellow stickered, and i got some pretty expensive fruit for bargain prices so another week in which we shouldn't get scurvy.

    hope everyone else is ok and had restful weekends

    hi all, survived a week with the outlaws - just. :)

    we eventually got feedback for the flat and apparently she couldn't find fault with it but it didn't feel like it was for her, i guess we just have to keep on going and hope for some more viewings. it's a shame as we now know that the house we like is having an open day next weekend. I'm thinking of going and sneaking in a pan of boiled cabbage to put any potential buyers off lol

    Sorry to hear she wasn't interested. I've got cabbage chopped for that other house opening.

    Yay to yellow stickers reducing scurvy too.

    Ace news on the debts being down so low. Excellent prioritising!

    Surviving the outlaws, phew and well done.

    Glad you had an impromptu viewing, you never know.......:A

    Nice one on surviving the outlaws. boo hiss about the viewing, but I am sure the buyer is just there beyond the horizon! I take it it is advertised on rightmove.co.uk? Gets to more potential buyers than the newspaper..
