I wasn't feeling too well this morning, and had only slept until 3 a.m. again, so I thought I would have an easy day. I had to turn down a craft meeting, where we would have been doing marbling, which I've always wanted to try, but I thought I would be sensible for once. We changed our bed and I vacuumed the room, then put the smart new bedding on the Master Suite bed (how grand!) and fresh bedding on Tam's bed too. I was just resting after that when the phone rang - could we possibly do a viewing today as someone was very interested in our house (turns they had just done a drive by, having planned to come and look around the area - although the husband knew bits of it already). It was just gone 11 - I said I could do 2 p.m.
Then I went into speeding-bullet-housewife mode and hurtled round, hoovering up a few more dead bees, in fact hoovering from top to bottom, slinging "stuff" in cupboards, drawers and wardrobes (just had to retrieve it whilst I still remembered where I put things - my bumbag went in with some plates!!) After just ten minutes I didn't have a dry hair on my head - a symptom of histamine imbalance is getting hot very quickly or cold very quickly. This was a hot day . . . I have been pretty well on top of the housework but I wanted it all looking perfect of course.
It was a VERY (that's VERY) positive viewing and they are cash buyers and business people and LOVED the house. So, we shall be holding our breath now . . .
Cross your fingers for us . . .
A beautiful day for a viewing too! Fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteYes, AND I managed to hold up the (first few) cows who were coming down for milking, so they could set off home.
DeleteEverything crossed here
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue.
DeleteFingers crossed, love the cows waiting till you would let them pass !

They had no option - I was leaping up and down waving my arms! I did get the cowman to come and help too - once we had managed communication (he's Estonian).
DeleteIt's amazing the adrenalin we can always find when we need to. Crossed fingers for you.
ReplyDeleteYou're not kidding Joan - I surprised myself!!
DeleteEverything crossed here too BB
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat. Ours is the only house they have chosen to view . . .
DeleteOh that all sounds so promising. Fingers toes and eyes crossed. Yes I am off to bed.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a successful viewing and a quick sale !!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marlane. At least I don't need to do any housework for a couple of days now!
DeleteWell the best of luck with these would be buyers, many fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteThank you Thelma. I have to put it on the back burner now or I won't sleep tonight either.
DeleteAh good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lou. Tense times.
DeleteHoping for good results xx
ReplyDeleteThanks gz. Still looking round your way for properties but there is only ONE solid contender at the moment and nothing much else we want to look at in our price range.
DeleteThat is super news - I am keeping everything crossed here for you. So good to get someone who loves the house and cash buyers (even better) :)
ReplyDeleteThanks RR. She certainly loved the house. Any luck with selling your mum's place yet?
DeleteCrossing everything and hoping for a quick sale. Glad you can take a break from cleaning for a few days. Judy
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy. Just one problem - only one house lined up as a possible new home and an absolute dearth of what we are looking for on the market . . . We aren't being too tired to areas either!
