A SECOND VIEWING

The family I mentioned yesterday, who are keen on our home are coming for a second viewing tonight.

Promising, promising.... so I have to wait all day, keep the house spic and span, and make sure the kids don't come home and mess it up!

Dogs too.   I will have to get the kids and dogs out by about 5.15 pm... I'll park the car down the road with them in it... then once the Estate Agent arrives I'll bugger off and leave them to it.

The viewing is at 5.30 pm, so it's going to be a long day.

Fitbit:  yesterday was a good day, I clocked up almost 7,000 steps.  I'm averaging about 6,300 steps per day at the moment.  So, the numbers are slowly getting better.

DIET:  completely stuffed up lately.  Can't quite get back on track right now, but I am not giving up.  I'm the worst emotional eater EVER, it's a fact of life.  I'm hoping once the house sale is done and dusted, my stress levels will ease and life can get back on track properly.

Right, that's all for now....  I'm going to see what I need to get done today... not much I think.

ONWARD...

Well... I've done the washing (poor Stew was running out of work shirts!), and I've done some of the prep work for tonight.

There is a lovely beef roast in the crock pot, and I plan on baking a loaf of bread, timed to come out of the bread baker just before the viewing time too.  So the  house will smell DELICIOUS *smiles*.

I'm leaving no trick undone today. 

Right now... I'm relaxing, no point getting all bent out of shape.  It either happens, or it is on to the next Open Home, with a really, really tidy house!  lol

ALL READY... and praying that they turn up!
I couldn't bear another 'no show'!
I'm all hot and bothered, and damn tired.
You wouldn't think there was much to do after having an Open Home yesterday would ya?
Wrong.

But, it's done and all I have to do now is put the kids and dogs in the car and park me car down the road.

I need to stay to let Paul/Steve (Estate Agents) in the house, then I can walk down to the car and wait.

And dinner is done!  Roast beef and veges with fresh, homemade herb bread.

Well they have arrived... fingers crossed now!

8.23 pm:  and we are in negotiations with the 'buyers' right now.  Things are looking OK.
Their offer is subject to all the usual things, plus them selling their house.  So, not a sure thing... but it's a positive step forward.

We are at the haggling stage... $$$$'s to be agreed yet.  

9.00 pm:  and we have a contract on the house.
It's conditional on all the usual stuff, plus they have to sell their home.
We have a 'cash out' clause in case we get a cash offer in the interim, before they sell their's.

Open homes will continue until they go UNCONDITIONAL... which won't happen till they sell their house.

So... it will drag on for a while yet.  BUT... at least we have a contract!

End of Day:  a long day, but a good one for once.
Hope is in the air.
