7 hours to go until the EA pops round to take pics :eek:
That's 7 hours for me to make this house look 'presentable'
This could be a challenge and a half :rotfl:Historic Debt August 2009 = £63,600 10th March 2017 = £0 100% paid all gone!
Mortgage started June 2015 = £170,000 January 2022 = £134,000
Saving for Xmas 2022= . . Amazon £55

Well they came and took pics and now there's not much more I can do to make this place look nice.
I'm kind of relieved that it's in the hands of the agents now as it means after months of decorating, cleaning and tidying I can now calm it down a bit
I'm also getting twitchy as I can find change really hard
Just got to focus on the end goal
that shiny new house shall be mine!

Glad it all went well with the EA and they've now got the photos, as you say it's out of your hands now and just becomes a waiting game
Even though your not keen on change just keep thinking about why you want to move, what sort of changes were you looking for when you decided to sell - it will be worth it in the end
I'm sure that shiny new house is just around the corner :T
Good luck with the challenge ahead

Thanx DB and abba
Got a viewing coming round in the next 10 minutes, cue frantic tidying, vacuuming and cleaning :rotfl:
Didn't hear back about yesterdays but they do say no news is good news
Just need to find a house I like (that's the easy bit) with a seller I like (this is becoming a problem ) Historic Debt August 2009 = £63,600 10th March 2017 = £0 100% paid all gone!

The viewing we had earlier went pretty well
They seemed like nice people and the EA that came with them this time was happy with how it went
DH and the kids are finding it pretty weird having people come in and nose around the house, I'm letting it all pass me by at the moment (better that than freaking out )
Hopefully we get a day off tomorrow, I could do with just letting the kids get all their toys out and make a mess just so they can let off steam Historic Debt August 2009 = £63,600 10th March 2017 = £0 100% paid all gone!

2 viewings today and an offer (which we've rejected), things seem to be moving quite quick :eek:
Guess we need to look at houses for us to buy so far we'd only looked at new builds, but are looking at existing builds now too Historic Debt August 2009 = £63,600 10th March 2017 = £0 100% paid all gone!

We accepted an offer today :j woohoo! It wasn't quite as high as we were hoping but they're not in a hurry and as we're buying a new build the completion date is quite a way away.
