Mrs R - if you are getting that many viewings its just a question of time before an offer pops up!!

MrsRecycle · 17/03/2009 10:49

I do hope so Auntie! Dds were looking at your article this morning before school and were very impressed. Fame at last indeed!

Sj - was thinking the same thing pegging out mine this morning. Managed to do a weeks worth of washing, all line-dry, in a day. Must get back to work and get a life LOL.

mellow2 · 17/03/2009 11:35

Thanks everyone. But it was only a cheeky offer. We said no and there has been no counter offer.

mellow2 · 17/03/2009 11:40

Steppie,

Sounds like you had an amazing time.

sfxmum · 17/03/2009 11:50

good morning all

sunny again

auntie nice pic hope this means extra donations

steppie happy anniversary

mellow let's hope it is the first opening to decent offers soon

dd at nursery I went running, annoyingly the footpath is being worked on and I had to head out to Barnes bridge, don't like it too slippery and muddy, still better than the road imo

will take dd to the playground on the way home I think, too nice to be indoors

mrsR steady on next you will be discussing polishing floors and the like

SushiMummy · 17/03/2009 14:41

Mrs R and Mellow - good luck with the viewings.

Steppie and sfx - happy anniversary!

sfx - well done on the course! Saw your DD's drawing on the wall at nursery, love the comment 'bonkers' lol!!!

auntie - hope the swim went well. Nice piccie of you and DS.

SJ, ros and PCW - hope the little ones are behaving well.

Hope everyone is well. My coughs a bit better but I had a minor asthma attack on the train, a bit embarrassing really.

stepfordwife · 17/03/2009 15:08

hello everyone
lovely day again
many thanks for anniversary wishes

auntie - well done on swim. what a worthwhile way to use your newly-acquired skill, eh?
nice article..shame he spelt your name wrong. tsk tsk
but , yes indeedy, fame at last!

sfx, yes, i'm hoping pilates will work when i get the hang of it. it's deffo making me more aware of my posture at least. i just find it really intense and it actually makes me feel a bit sick. that's what concentration does to me!
do you do it?

sushi..you poor thing. maybe the doctor will give you an inhaler.

right, off for a little lie-down before brood get home. we went out for lunch and i had a glass of wine...big mistake...
ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZ

stepfordwife · 17/03/2009 15:08

and happy st patrick's day!

stepfordwife · 17/03/2009 15:09

...nearest to st patrick's face......

stepfordwife · 17/03/2009 15:10

..and well done on passing your course, sfx

mellow2 · 17/03/2009 17:45

Steppie - At the risk of sounding like an alternative health freak, the sick feeling in your stomach from pilates is a good thing. That's your toxins being drained away. I get that when I did do yoga pre dd.

Buyer has come back with a counter-offer. It's still a little low but agent has advised us to accept it. They will continue to market until we exchange. Now I know why gazumping happens!

So we're going to start house hunting now and see what we can get for our money.

SJ - I don't think we're going to make Little Fishes on Thursday. Plumber is coming back on Thursday to rip out connecting wall between shower and bath so we're going to have to go to stay with in laws for a week.

And they have to pick the week when my US shipments are arriving. Arrgh!

slng · 17/03/2009 18:02

Hello!

What a lovely day! Had a very exciting day piano-hunting in town! Didn't come back with one in my handbag though ... Then had a one-hour run in the park with the kids. Am exhausted now, but kids refuse to wash themselves and put themselves to bed. Outrageous.

Aunty - how was your swim?

Mellow- how exciting!

Sushi - get well soon!

MrsRecycle · 17/03/2009 18:14

Congratulations sfx - well done! I managed to stop myself from polishing the floor and went round a df's for a chat.

And Mellow - brilliant that they came back. Good luck with the house search. Shame about you having to move out though.

I stopped going go exercise because I felt sick afterwards - now I know why doh.

Slng have you thought about an auction for the piano, there is one in Ruislip and one in Chiswick.

mellow2 · 17/03/2009 18:39

MrsR,

Thanks. Wow, you are turning into a domestic goddess.

SJ99 · 17/03/2009 19:12

Mellow - great news they came back with a new offer good luck with your house hunting and with the move to inlaws, hope it won't be too stressful for you

Sfx - well done on passing course, such a swot

Sushi -sorry to hear about asthma attack on train, hope you're feeling better now

Any word from auntie and swim?

sfxmum · 17/03/2009 19:54

mellow good news on the offer hope inlaws stay not too traumatic

sushi don't worry about embarrassing, hope you feel better soon

thanks all for congrats it was only a small thing but am really enjoying being a student again

MrsRecycle · 17/03/2009 20:25

Shhhh Mellow, you can definitely tell
I'm between contracts can't you though!

SushiMummy · 18/03/2009 10:01

Lovely morning again! Hope everyone is well.

slng - what's the name of the Sichuan restaurant near Liverpool Street Station?

slng · 18/03/2009 10:25

Good morning!

Sushi - it's called My Old Place. I think it's on Middlesex Street. I always have extra spicy food when having a cough - figure it would give the germs something else to worry about! (Warning: not medically-approved advice!)

SushiMummy · 18/03/2009 10:45

thanks slng! I'll try them next week.

sfxmum · 18/03/2009 14:38

OP posts:
sfxmum · 18/03/2009 14:41

and Steppie yes I used to do Pilates and did it throughout the pregnancy which I am convinced kept me free from back pain, I still do some basic stuff but might try and find a course to get back on track I know pools in the ark gym run a few once in a while

OP posts:
SJ99 · 18/03/2009 14:44

Hello all

Another nice day

Sfx- you better hurry up and buy some blackout blinds

I think I will buy a pilates dvd to do at home, not sure I'd be able to get to a regular class

Might head to park this afternoon
