The 300k debt-free diary!!!

Karmacat

Hiya! So sorry about the no-show - hard to think that someone is that unpleasant on New Year's Day - if there was a bad problem, they'd have phoned....

nothing actually on the diary yet, but I'm hoping all of us real newbies can congregate and get our courage up (and our understanding) before flocking to the gambling board. Like a question I just posted on there this evening - I'll copy it to my diary now.... see ya.

Just finished the clean-up AGAIN! Yesterday's no show apparently rang the agents at 9am to apologise, apparently some sort of plumbing disaster at home. Hmmm. So they're coming at 6pm tonight. Off to dump DS with a pair of disgruntled grandparents in a few minutes, but he's fallen asleep on the sofa - always when you don't want them to!

Managed the £10 challenge today, although I suppose it is a bit of a cheat as it was a mystery shop I made DH do! He'd better get used to it though as I intend to dump more things like that on him! He's really good at most things, he's just too much of a man to go out and think about doing them unless he's spoon fed each step of the way!

Popped into Homebase earlier to see if they had any bargains - bought 2 boxes of tiles reduced to £2 each which will make a lovely cloakroom splashback, but resisted the brown leather sofa for £99 (reduced from £399 ex-display!) which would be gorgeous in our new bedroom IF we get the house we want. Still thinking about it though, as I'm sure I could sell it for more if it turned out we didn't need it for any reason. And it's 10% day tomorrow!

Hi Panda, annoying about the no show yesterday, but glad they are at least coming tonight - my fingers are still crossed for you!
The Homebase sofa sounds like a bargain, but well done you for going away and thinking about it (and if it isn't there tomorrow, it wasn't to be... some sort of MSE Karma in force or something!) I am still chilling out, can't believe that we haven't woken up before 9.30am since we've been off, Monday will be a real shock to the system.
We fancied a KFC today (bought with £10 DH got in a birthday card this morning) so we set off on our 2 hour round trip in search of chicken - oh I really must get a life:rotfl: Anyway update us later on the viewing

That's the sort of thing we do! The only thing we'll really miss if - make that WHEN - we move is the Indian. Can see DH travelling 30 miles to get a decent take-away!

Well, viewers been and gone and sounding relatively promising. They were REALLY posh, which threw me a little, and I wish I'd made a little more effort with my appearance! Never mind. They seem to like the house, and confirmed they've accepted an offer on their own house down south, so potentially could have something, but we've been here before...!

Off to ring DH, collect DS from the inlaws and then off to bed I think!

Just a quickie: Last night's viewers want to come back tonight for 2nd viewing!:j

Off work today as I couldn't move my right leg this morning, so couldn't drive and certianly couldn't climb the 3 flights of stairs! Being issued with some crutches later - great!

CHEAP_AS_CHIPS_4

fingers crossed for you,

i have been reading your diary and know you have been waiting a while!

we had ours on the market for 9 months while i was pregnant with my 3rd and is horrid, trying to keep it tidy all the time!!!, and you feel like you are in limbo.

best of luck and hopefully today might be the day!!

Ohh Im excited for you - Lets hope they put in an offer for you! I had crutches when preggers with DD - Its quite a sight let me tell you, a 9 month pregnant woman hobbling about on crutches, and absolutely everyone asks you "oooh what have you done?" - so you have to explain it all the time too!

Anyway good luck

P.S - My lounge is nice and tidy, tree packed away for another 11 months, cards down and everything looks clean and tidy for a change

Sounds hopeful about the viewers.

Do you think you overdid it with the tidying up? That's when I've felt worst - when I've been doing a lot. Though going to the other extreme, sitting for long periods makes everything hurt when I stand up too - can't win!

Ooh, sounds promising....fingers are still crossed.

Sorry about the pain though. I hope it eases up soon.
