thanks babymad- still feeling pretty ill on and off through the day but knowing it is nearing the end of the sickness stage is keeping me sane! Told my friends today and yesterday so starting to feel excited about the pg. How are you doing? Are you feeling any better? Really hope you are starting to get glimpses of excitement and happiness. Your house sounds amazing, what a clever dh you have!

ok girls, i need some advice about this farmhouse drama! So if you were me having being told about the 'apparently' increased offer from a different buyer (but who like us still have a house to sell), would you....

1. stay quiet for a few days and let the agent stew on things with the hope that he is bullshitting and will eventually panic that he has lost us and come crawling back with something i want to hear..... or

2. pester the agent for a simple yes/no answer to our question of whether the vendor would be interested in our offer if we were to sell our house before the other buyers. We could then either forget the idea or proceed with getting our house on the market this week.

I just cant decide whether the cool or pushy approach is needed!!

Hope you are all well! X

Deaks, Id wait a few days, if there is someone else you can always put a higher offer in once they have told you what the offer was, they musnt be able to lie and say a made up price/offer could they?

Maybepink - good luck for your scan!! I think I may have to find out too, or may look at nub and skull and decide then .......

Hi everyone else - have been lurking! So tired but no sickness or anything so can't moan.

Deaks I'd hold off!

We had a maximum price that we could afford to pay for the house we are currently in. They told us that someone had made a higher offer. We held strong and stuck at our price it really was our maximum. The agents came back to us 3 weeks later to see if we were still interested which of course we were and we got it for our offer price. I really don't think anyone else had made an offer but we did offer £28k under the asking price so think they were trying to push us. We did already have a buyer for our house at the time with no chain so we were in a good position to proceed quickly.
I would hold strong and play it cool. They will come back to you especially if the house has been on the market ofr a year!
Good Luck!!

Had my bloods taken this a.m. and will get the results next Wednesday when I go through them with the Dr. My Dr. has now left for maternity so off to see another Dr. again this PM for a smear and to explain again about my cycles.

Just been on a last minute shop we're going to Austria skiing and to the the billabong air and style event Friday morning until Monday afternoon.
So been running around getting hoodies, long tops, hats, gloves and ski pants and Jackets for DP and myslelf. So glad all the winter stuff is in the sale!

Sunset good luck for your test!!! it took me forever to pass I was such a wreck in the tests! Most people I know passed 2nd time some first. My dad even told me to give up. Haha suportive, not!! Sure you'll do great don't forget the rescue remedy

Thanks ladies!

chocolate, unless the agents are signed up to some code of conduct (which not many are and in any case its not regulated very well) they can tell lies and often do. I spoke to the agents who we might use to sell our house and they said it sounded suspicious too. Our offer is final as there are simply no more pennies in the bank and i definately think we will stay quiet for a while but in the meantime get our house on the market...we were told it should sell quickly as there arent many like it round here. That would put us in a much better position but its just so annoying as i dont want to annoy any potential buyer of ours by accepting an offer only to eventually have to pull out if the farmhouse goes to someone else. I guess thats just life though.

Lavender, you did really well sticking to your guns but there's not much else you can do is there when your offer is your limit. Its then down to fate!

lavender, im so jealous! desperate to go skiing and we were just about to book our holiday before we found this house! You will have a wicked time and the billabong air and style event sounds fun too!
