Finally I have a mortgage I can start to pay off!

It'll likely be an absolute pain in the backside! 🙄😂😂 but worth it!

Yep, what Cheery said - but you *do* have a cat with a runny backside right now (I can't spell diah ... you know).  That's tough!  And the Open Day might be the worst of it in terms of keeping it spotless.  Hope it went really, really well.

Oh it’s one of those words I have to look up every time Karma! Fortunately the paste from the vets seems to have done the trick though.

 Open day went well according to EA. So waiting for the offers to stream in this morning… and then, after a chat with the mortgage advisor, I may be buying a house!!

DH is away with work tonight, annoyingly, and has gone into work this morning, so I envisage many phone calls! Planning on having dinner with mum, either here or at hers - will do the salmon and rhubarb again.

 In the meantime, I have a whole day’s worth of work (and more), a visit to new cat clients and an eBay parcel to post. Better get out of bed then!

(No win for me on the PBs *again* this month 😢)

 Have a good day all!

Sounds like a super productive weekend! Hoping you had some good news yesterday MV x

Morning all,

Thanks SL and KK. So we've had an offer for 20k over the asking price, but the man had sent his friend to view, so wants to come and confirm tomorrow. Slightly concerned that this is some sort of negotiating tactic, but there are other offers in, so it's not the end of the world (just for less!). Mortgage advisor got back to me late yesterday with good news about the high street lender being OK with the property (a check more of the property than us), so we've got a more detailed appointment with him this afternoon. And then, I think, regardless of the viewing tomorrow, I'll ring agent and put in an offer - we have offers plural, so technically the house will sell. Still waiting on a couple of answers from the vendor - so I'll send an email chasing that now.

In the meantime, I collected a small amount of food from Tesco for Olio this morning - only half a sack - so waiting for various collectors (including my sister). I've also been given the go-ahead for the project that was paused, so I'm getting on with that, and have other work to do too.

MS things:
* work!
* free lunch rolls from Olio
* clicks done - a few pence won on the Happy Wheel
* Surveys attempted but not qualified for - a few points for those
* Gfk TV survey comp entered to clear backlog of points
* £1 won on Gfk TV survey

Gratitudes:
* Lovely evening with Mum last night
* Work
* Sunflowers bought for viewings are cheery and happy

Have a good day all!

Oh that’s great news for having multiple offers, I do hope that the one above asking price comes to fruition for you too!

Hope the advisor appointment goes well

Excellent news! 

Who sends their friend to view a house for them though?! 😮

Quite! But presumably he didn't want to miss the boat with the open day?

This sounds good!  Hoping everything goes to the next level really smoothly
