Having a down day

[Dottydot]

Had such a crap evening yesterday that I'm still miserable today - in the grand scheme of things not that important and I know others have got far more to worry about, but yesterday:

1. The estate agents let us know that our one and only second viewing had given them feedback saying she definitely won't be putting in an offer as our house needs too much doing to it and is overpriced. It's been on the market for 6 months and I'm really fed up with it all now.

2. I didn't get the job I went for. It was a big cheese job and I knew it wasn't a dead cert, but I know I did well in the initial interview and I was hoping I'd get through to the next stage. The bloke phoned me yesterday evening to tell me he was really impressed with what I'd done and my enthusiasm (!), but that he'd gone for people with more experience. So frustrating because I know I could have done the job.

So, that's it really. We're off on holiday tomorrow so I'll be much more cheery when we get there, but just wanted to offload to try and remove the black cloud above my head!

The house thing sucks. Ours too is on the market and is apparently overpriced. It's only been on for 2 months and already driving me mad. Can you afford to drop your price a little?

dotty. We gave up trying to sell ours. No one moves house anymore.

Crap about the job. My careers on the descent.

Happy holidays though.

oh bloody blinkin fecking shiteybags.

thats a pile of poo.

go and have nice hol and think about the time v soon when you DO get a marvellous offer on your house and ... that job wasnt good enough for you anyway! you will have another better brighter more doshly endowed one in no time.

and remember kid; youre never fully dressed without a smile

Try to tell yourself that there's nothing you can do about it while on holiday so stop worrying. Easier said than done I know but sometimes it works.

Aww - thanks - just what I needed - a bit of self indulgence and lovely replies!

The job was awesome though - won't earn that kind of salary for the next 10 years probably...

[tries not to dwell and spend it all over again in her mind]

@rse @rse @rse.

Arse is an excellent word - shall repeat it for the rest of the day!

Almost thinking about taking the house off the market until next Spring. We wanted to have moved by now so we had a garden for the summer - but seeing as how the weather's utterly crap it almost doesn't matter...we've dropped the price once and have had 4 valuations all saying the price it's on for is spot on (grrr).

Right. Grumbling time over!

can you ditch the agent? and get another?
i reckon my mum was royally screwed by her agent in Hackney. course, she couldnt make a good financial decision if she tried (and she does). but still

what about some cheap n cheerful tarting up of the bits which look expensive to get the place looking more saleable? buyers can be very fickle...
