Akasully2 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 After a week of sorting stuff out in the house, I went shopping today on my own. last day before kiddy winks break up. Went to m&s to get bras and john Lewis to spend the vouchers my work gave me as a leaving present. Ended up choosing a pair of beautiful silver grey, fresh water pearl earrings. Something I would never treat myself to, ordinarily. Feels indulgent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beandownunder Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 great that you've got an offer Odies, fingers crossed xxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akasully2 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Good luck with the sale. Even when people say they have limited funds, usually they have a bit more in reserve. No harm in saying you understand their situation but you were hoping for a little more as a big drop. That way you are not saying no, completely and then scaring them off but giving them an opportunity to come back with a better offer. No harm in asking.

odies Posted April 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Thanks, that is how we have left it for the weekend, lets hope they come back with a little more if not we are set to accept now. Just hope they do not come back with lots of conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelchic Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Glad you have an offer. If ghey come back with conditions tell them to use the 40k they've saved to pay for them x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossmoyne Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 I can not believe it We have had an offer on the shop !!!! we have the weekend to mull it over as it is way lower than we wanted but me thinks we may take it. Odies sometimes you just have to go with the flow..... sometimes you can hang on for more and end up with even less! Good luck with the decision making.

verystormy Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 I can not believe it We have had an offer on the shop !!!! we have the weekend to mull it over as it is way lower than we wanted but me thinks we may take it. It is good news, and as some others are saying, sometimes we just have to accept what we can get and that can sometimes work out for the best. When we moved over, we had to sell the house to one of them companies that guaruntee to buy your house - but at 20% less than the value. We had no choice. But, a month later the GFC hit and it was then worth less than we had sold for - so was actually a good deal for us in the end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROB T Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Odies sometimes you just have to go with the flow..... sometimes you can hang on for more and end up with even less! Good luck with the decision making. True Ross but it may be worth calling their bluff. With just their first offer submitted they should still be open to a bit of 'negotiation' I would've thought. Still early days IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
