Once the kids leave for school, I'm going to head off to Hamilton.
I will probably kill an hour or two wandering around a mall ... then head off to the Auction.
Stew and our Estate Agent are going to meet me there.
I will probably be a mess of nerves by then.
WISH US LUCK!
ONWARD...
WE MISSED OUT ON BOTH HOUSES WE HAD OUR EYE ON
FEELING TOTALLY DEJECTED RIGHT NOW.
But we will keep looking...and hopefully find something SOON
.. or we could be living under a bridge by end of month!
6.45 pm: and I'm home... and looking at more houses on the net. Spreading the search out a bit... even looking at PLASTER houses now~!
Shaking me head.
My back is killing me for some reason, not even low down like 'normal'. Probably from being tense all day?
OH well... another day tomorrow. Can't go to Hamilton to look either.
Tallulah gets speyed (de-sexed) tomorrow, so I have to be here.
Friday I will be back looking at houses I expect.
I was going to cook dinner, but now that I look at the time (6.47 pm) it might just be takeaways. *sigh*
Scrap the takeaways idea. I realised I had pork out, so I have a sweet 'n' sour pork stir fry cooking.. to be accompanied by home made garlic bread... cos it's comfort food. And I feel like comfort food.
P.S.: it's official. Throwing up Garlic Bread sucks BIG TIME.
Bloody cough from hell doing it's thing on me again. IKKK.
My fingers are crossed for you. Looking forward to news later. Take some Rescue Remedy to calm your nerves.
ReplyDeleteFingers, toes and everything crossed! Can't wait to hear good news for you!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck.
ReplyDeleteHope to hear good news later.
ReplyDeleteAll the best for today from Andy in the UK! I found your blog by accident as I googled something and a photo of your husband came up and I thought I recognised him! (I guess not as we're the other side of the world from each other!!!!) I guess I connect with you as I'm a yo-yo dieter & Coronation Street fan :) Fingers crossed for the auction today!
ReplyDeleteAndy x
All the best for today. I really hope you get your first choice. Cambridge is such a lovely town and so quick to get to Hamilton for Stew
ReplyDeleteFingers and toes are all crossed for you and Stew... good luck, I hope it goes your way!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck Chris and family...will be checking back often for updates later! Hope you get the house you want!
ReplyDeleteGood luck Chris! I know you can't wait to have this behind you.
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the very best..... cant wait to hear some exciting news.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!! Don't spend anything at the mall, you might need the extra $ 20 to buy the house haha
ReplyDeleteGood luck, oh this must be exciting and nerv wrecking. I'm excited and yet I'm not buying a house.

ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteGood luck !
Cheers Peta
Good luck today
ReplyDeleteYou're killing me smalls!
ReplyDeleteBugger!!!
ReplyDeleteFeeling for you. Sorry to hear but 'your house' will be out there.
ReplyDeleteOh - I am sooo disappointed. You must be crushed. But I LOVE how you keep a positive attitude!
ReplyDeleteBugger
ReplyDeletewell that totally sux. logged on hoping to read you had had success at the auction, but seems it wasn't to be. I'm sure you will find something though, and now you are all sold and cashed up your in a good position to make offers on anything (other then auctions).
ReplyDeletethats a bummer Chris sorry xx
ReplyDeleteOh no ... when I saw your SOLD picture I assumed it had gone well. Obviously the best one is still out there waiting for you. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWell then the whiskey comment or stiff drink is now warranted tomorrow new houses will emerge.........
ReplyDeleteOh bugger auctions suck xx
ReplyDeleteFeeling gutted for you tonight .... BUT .... on the positive side, maybe your dream house is about to come on to the market, and you didn't win the auctions today for that very reason! (Fingers crossed!)
ReplyDeleteBugger x x
ReplyDeleteOh bugger!! Had hoped to come and read some good news. But like Paula says, hopefully it means that your dream home will come on the market real soon!! *hugs*
ReplyDeleteDon't rush into a place just because you are desperate. It's unlikely you'd get into a house by the end of the month anyway so you might need to look into a short term rental of some kind then make a wise decision, not a forced/rushed decision.
ReplyDeleteSorry today didn't go your way :(
I tend to agree with Lynda, while you no doubt will only want one move, not rushing and renting could still be the answer, then you can take your time and buy the perfect home for you.
ReplyDeleteAh that sucks so much! Did they sell before auction or just too dear?
ReplyDeletePlease take your time and don't rush into a purchase!
The prices just ramped up and up! Auctions tend to do that unfortunately. We were LEAD to believe we had the right sort of money for either house, but I think we were conned, just to get more people at the auction. We will be trying to get a house that isn't going to auction now. I don't want to go through that again.
