Looks like my sensible side won me over........ doesn't look like i'll be getting an Escort Cossie quite as soon as I had hoped.

However, I went to view a house at lunchtime and have just had my offer accepted on it.

Its a 3 Bedroom Detached with large garage, on the estate I used to live on. It needs modernising inside but nothing that a lick of paint wont sort for the meantime.

The downside is im paying an £18k premium on it (which was the cossie money) but the house is everything I had wanted for in my 'ideal' list and good money for a decent sized 3-bed house.

Once i've moved and got settled i'll prob look at getting another Saph to tide me over.

Surprisingly im smiling, I thought i'd be gutted if I couldn't get the Esc, but after driving Stu's Saph this weekend I think I realised that there's no great rush and a Saph should keep me more than satisfied until im ready for the Esc.

 

Nice one Clare

 

Think you've been sensible there.

Not sure about all this "premium" bollocks though!

 

well done

if you didnt offer the full asking price, be prepared to get a phonecall saying some one else has made a higher offer, thats what happened to me and the missus after our 124k price was accepted, we then had to go the full asking price of 126.5k coooonts - bet there was no other offer...

i just gotta save for me cossie too

 

fudgeass, Wont happen, the Agent already knew if necessary I would go up to full asking price but didnt want to if I didnt have to. He has accepted my offer on the basis it is taken off the market with immediate effect and they cancel the viewings booked in for this afternoon.

Im in a very strong position and they wont want to loose me as a buyer by pissing me off.

The really funny thing is, i've also just had a call from the agent selling the house I put an offer in on last week, the one they chose the other people over me becasue they offered £2k more............ its fallen through and they wanna know if im still interested

 

Well pleased for you Clare, bet thats a real weight lifted

I will be across ASAP to check out my room

 

nice one clare

 

Nice one, well done.......can I be first on the list if you sell the fezza tho

 

Cheers guys

Stu a huge weight for sure, you know how much I was stressing over it! And then suddenly when im ready to give up looking this one just appeared!

matt - Why on earth would you want my Fezzy?

thats they said to us... but as someone who had previously looked at it the week before, they were allowed to put in an offer.

less than 24 hours after our offer was accepted...


hope it all goes ok for you tho hun

 

HOUSE WARMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just let me now when! I'll bring the vodka!

oh & congrats on gettin a house etc etc


PARTAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Why is it a knacker

I'd love a clean RS1800....then I can rid myself of the wheezy Z-S lol

 

Lewis, you know this!

Right next to the A5 too so dead easy to find

Matt, I wouldn't descibe my fessy as 'clean' but its reasonably tidy. I'll give you a shout if and when I decide to let her go (which knowing me will be soon as I get bored of cars easily lol)

 

Ah another excuse to get pissed right up & for craig to pass out in some1s dirty laundry!

 

Well done Clare! Hope that wieght off your shoulders feels better

Remember to invite me if u have a house warming!

Smit

 

Excellent hun, soo pleased you got this sorted out Now you can relax abit

Shame about the escort but you got the house you want hun and that is worth more than the escort. A nice saph will tide you over nicely

 

Congratulations, i hope no-one manages to fuck it up for you!

 

 

Oh bugger Clare, but congrats at the same time

BTW, CHEERS for your help last week. I was (for once) right and it was the remote battery lol. Was ever so terrified on Friday night when Gary collected.. much to his amusement. DaveyBoy even got a call from Dan @ Rapid Ford who saw my car, chased after it, saw it wasn't me (or Dave) driving and wanted to call Dave to check before ramming it lol - glad he did!

 

House warming?

 

pmsl no worries hun, glad you managed to get it going after all that, its in good hands so dont fret. As I understand it we'll be bringing it back to you nearer the end of this week, good as new. LMAO @ Dan from Rapid Ford, bet he had a right fright seeing a big dude sat in the drivers seat

Looks like there will be a couple of house warmings over the next few months eh

 

lol @ Rich - good point though!

btw, what happened after you guys left? Heard Billy was ripping his shirt off starting on midgets? Never a dull eve. Nice to see you tho Remember June 4th and Dingle is down tomorrow.

 

If you're a good boy you'll get an invite Cheers for the text Sunday night btw took me a while to work out wtf you were going on about lol

 

Talk about Jekyl and Hyde

Never seen that side of him before - just started on two complete strangers for no reason, and me and Dave just happened to be across the other side of the road.

Will pop by tomorrow to see the short Eltony one - let me know if you're popping out for beers!

Clare - I was very drunk!

 

Cheers Clare, what made me laugh was that he called DaveyBoy and not me. Probably worried about the hysterical reaction he would have recieved had I known bugger all about it lol.

Good hit re this week, although next week is good too. If he's still living with you can you ask him to give me a shout when his paint dude is in so I can ask about the scratch?

And plano re housewarmings, seeing as Davey's birthday is so close ours will probably be mid summer

 

That guy is a right c***. And that's from me who's trying to cut down on swearing. Hope it didn't put a downer on your eve.

Could be re Ding, I'd check with him though

 

Cola, no worries bird, he's still set up camp in my spare room for the time being so when he gets home later i'll ask him

 

Ta Clare
