[Paul and Linda]

Just had another family full of complete nuggets round.

I mean! Why do they knock on your door, then come in and say,

"Oh, Mothers coming aswell!"

So you stand there waiting for 5 mins while the poor old dear shuffles out of the car, unassisted by her family and teeters up to the door. Wouldn't mention this but its the 4th consecutive family to do it exactly this way. :?

So Mother's here, I begin....

"Have you been looking long?" (for a house obviously)

Wait for it.....

"No, we just came straight here!"

OMG here we go again! :wah

There is a building site beyond the lane at the back of our house, and I pointed out that the nearest house has a gable end facing us...you know, no windows.....

"OH! like a prison." she says!

ArgHHHH! do they plan for one of the family to be an awkward GIT?

Upstairs, they all walk into the box room, wait for it...

"Is this the smallest bedroom then?"

:wah

So he asks me what I do.

"I'm a Technical Manager at a chemical plant " says I.

I may aswell have said "squawk, bibble, please slap me with a kipper"
because he looked at me as if I had.

"So, what do you do?" I said.

"Oh, nothing yet!"....and the chap was in his 30's!

We have fitted the entire upstairs with new good quality neutral coloured carpets (camel, as instructed to by the estate agent and Anne Maurice), so here's the next question.

"Why did you put this colour down? All the houses we have seen have this colour. Everyone who moves in is going to want to change everything anyway! You've just wasted your money!"


And you know I actually found myself answering them. :uhoh

Honestly next time I open the door and I here;

"Mothers coming aswel."

I'm gonna say "squawk, bibble, please slap me with a kipper" :uhoh

And there I was thinking it was only me who always ended up with the village idiot. :roll:
Funny thing is, we had new carpets fitted yesterday throughout two beds and stairs etc. I bet you cant guess what colour they are.

To be honest I think there are subliminal messages on the for sale boards.

'Idiots need only view' :laugh :laugh

Paul you must have the patience of a saint.

Jo

I have edited this as I didn't realise there were so many sp errors :oops:

[Paul and Linda]

Thank you both for your kindness, I thought that I was just being short tempered :oops:

That drink was good, I'm having a few more :cheers :nice1 Do you know, I was virtually tea total before the "For Sillies" sign went up.

Just as well that Linda drinks way faster than me :mrgreen: (now I'm in for it! :eek ) so there's rarely anything left...or I'd have a problem :cheers . :exit

Paul -
Selling our house is a distant memory but I do remember someone offering us a low price then when we refused saying they'd up it if we left our 2 leather sofas for them - the cheek eh??

[Diny]

We're lucky to have big bedrooms in our house - the smallest being 12' x 12'.

We had viewers who told the estate agent that they weren't interested in our house because the bedrooms were too tiny :eek

Odd thing was .... they were moving from a 2 bed semi starter home :?

I wonder whether they found their dream home?

[baboonworld]

Diny - it must have a massive lounge instead!! !????


In other words they couldnt afford yours and just fancied a look!!

I hate that - (although I am sure we have all been tempted to do the same).

Oh yes every one that has viewed our place when showed the workshop with my harley in it said " is the Harley classed as fixtures and fittings?" so funny not :uhoh and then they say I will buy the place if you leave the bike here, to which I reply sure but that will add another 6 grand to the price,
I'm not kidding they have all said it :(
Any way house was classed as sold this week to a very nice couple who plan to retire here in july/august they even want to have our cat that saves me digging another hole on the back garden then :nice1
So now we can get on with booking tickets and arranging the shippers :clap
